Theory on Darkfall Server Downtime
Hello,
During a server restart we experienced a hardware failure we're currently dealing with. We're informed that it shouldn't take longer than 1 hour to fix.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for the delay it getting the game back up.
The Darkfall Team
Here is what is really going on at Adventurine HQ:
We're afraid that the effects of the failure experienced during a routine server restart have proven considerably more time-consuming to address than originally estimated. We keep getting persistent errors that need to be corrected before the game is back up. The sources of these errors have finally been identified and now it's a matter of time before they are corrected.
We expect the servers to be up by 12pm noon GMT today(Tuesday) but we're doing everything we can to minimize this estimated downtime. During this timeframe we'll also apply a scheduled update patch meant to address some of the issues players have been experiencing the past few days.
We have been working non-stop on getting the game back up. We truly regret the downtime but we must be able to focus on the job at hand and we appreciate your patience and support. We will keep you updated on all developments.
There will be ample compensation for any missed game-time.
With our apologies, The Darkfall Team
Looks like the ETA for servers coming back up is around 7AM EST on Tuesday morning.
The Evil Bastages are an online guild whose roots stretch back all the way to AOL's Neverwinter Nights. Since our official inception we have had a long track record as a tight knit and effective PvP guild. We have made a name for ourself in the past in such games as Ultima Online, Shadowbane, and World of Warcraft among others.
Now after 7 years of development we are gearing up to hit the ground running in Darkfall Online.
Let the bodies hit the floor.
