Castle World and the Quill Master ~

Post by ottoatm »

Castle World

As some of you all know, Castle World was living and breathing happily not too many days ago when *pop*, it was suddenly taken offline from us all. At first I was very worried... we all put waaay to much time into some of the features (with much more planned) to just have it wiped off the map. But then I noticed the server it was on (Server 13) seemed to be offline as well, and realized that this might simply be a quirky thing that would be fixed pretty quickly...

As you know, that was several days ago. Here is what I've found on the topic so far from the tech. support people at Innovision. They have always been pretty good in the past, so I'm not willing to abandon them (or all the work we did) yet, but I am a bit concerned that 1- it will take awhile to come back online, and if it does, 2- our work (and our posts!) may be gone. If either of these are true, I'll begin looking for a more stable server, perhaps setting up my own spare computer to host the forums. I was planning on doing this anyway, but a good year or so from now.

Quill Master
That's me ;). I'm looking into the Server 13 problem everyday, and I've checked to see if CW was up and running more than several times each day it's been down... I'll keep looking into it and if anyone figures something out, please tell me.

Other than that, I'm in finals this week and last, so I've been a bit quiet lately. I may be quiet for few days, but I'll be back at CC (and hopefully CW) soon.

Thanks for letting us know! I guess this is the season for forum demolition :wink:

Tyco invision... Is s13 the only one that is down? I know that 4,9 and 10 works at least (I visit other forums there...) Let´s just hope that all works out well... wouldn´t want all our work (and my silly teasers! :P) there to be gone...

I was worried too. I thought Quill Master had abandoned us. :cry:

I hope we do not lose all the information and posts put into CW if it comes back online.

Merry Christmas by the way!

I know 11 is up too, as are the newer servers...

>sigh<

Well, the holidays could be one reason for the delay, although I too am beginning to lose patience... As of today (the 26th), no change.

Looking on the bright side, I've been browsing other forums and got some ideas, and I finally understand some of what hordesman was saying when he referred to the one-vs-one battles. :wink:

Anyway, keeping this thread on topic, I will continue to search for answers to when we will be back online and cease posting to CC with our CW problems. :-P

Pshaw... and 13 is actually my favorite number... I took that as a good sign when I created the board. 12/27 and no change in status yet...

The latest update:
The datacenter appears to have made some progress though now they claim to have encountered another problem. From the information I have been given it seems like we are closer to having server 13 back.
I feel much... better now. :?

Err................

Maedhros, who doesn´t want to know what "another problem" means....

I just checked it and found the same thing... I'm hoping the icons come back, but I've got a bad feeling about it all... looks like I'll have a lot of work on my hands too, as the emoticons and ranking shields appear to be gone... I'm hoping they will come back...

But anyway, she's back! :D

Agreed :-)

I'll be busy restoring images they lost and re-creating those I didn't have a chance to back up before the "incident", so I'll be a bit busy, but great to see you've been moving along on your story Graynar - it's a good way to welcome CW back to digital world.
