headlight 5,742 Posted June 9, 2015 For real this time haha. I guess Boris is taking over wiping duties, so he was doing a test run today. Map will be Aerynth. Rumor to be not as dominate of a CN server up. We shall see. Server goes down ~7am PST/10am EST and comes back up ~9am PST/12pmEST. If any non-shadowbane player wants to see what's a server up is like, come on over. http://magicbane.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3728 June 13th 2015 Magicbane Server Wipeby Boris » Mon Jun 08, 2015 12:01 pm Greetings Magicbane Players!I've been called upon once again by my cousins to handle a few things as family matters have turned towards the grim and both of them are dealing with that full time. They've left me with some instructions on how to go about wiping the server for everyone here. I initially did some testing last weekend which is why there was some downtime. Unfortunately, the wipe was not successful and I had to restore to an earlier date. During the restore the host for the server experienced an outage and we lost the restore so I once again kicked off another restore to our backup from the day before, Thursday.This past weekend I continued the testing, ensuring to start after the morning backup that took place Saturday morning. The wipe was successful and I planned on restoring to Saturdays backup and announcing a wipe for next weekend. Little did I realize....the cat was out of the bag when the daily backup procedure that is in place in the mornings would stealth bring the server back up in a wiped status. I've brought the server down and it is currently restoring to Saturdays backup meaning no loss in data. This restoration process takes approx. 4 hours and once it is complete, the servers will come back online.The wipe will occur June 13th (Saturday) around the normal down period. The wipe will take approx. 2 hours to complete and for the servers to be brought back online.Artyom and Olga said they miss everyone very much and can't wait to return once they're able.I'll also be looking in to the firewall rules to see if there are additional adjustments needed.

Hi. 958 Posted June 9, 2015 It's been a really long time since I played Shadowbane but Aerynth was my original haunt who else is playing 1 mal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurgundytheRed 215 Posted June 9, 2015 7b should be pleased. Honestly, you are the type of person that is much to competitive, has zero compassion for other people and think you are better than everyone else. You likely love to troll people on a day to day bases to get others angry and laugh about it. You make playing any online game unfun for everyone else. -Kuroaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headlight 5,742 Posted June 10, 2015 That map is horrible, prolly i will play there but is stupid that they are using again that map agreed. i hate the map. i would prefer a more modified vorringia to suit a smaller emu pop. but olga's gone so w/e. be grateful for a wipe at all i guess.

surBear 463 Posted June 10, 2015 I liked Vorringia. I hate running for 30 minutes to get any where. I was also one of those people that would load up with stam pots and try to swim across the ocean. I got killed by water more times than I care to remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vandarr 695 Posted June 11, 2015 Vorringia was the best - especially the lore version with safeholds all over the map, making it easy to port around and resupply. 1 holam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headlight 5,742 Posted June 11, 2015 it was put to a vote for a lore server up, but so was vorringia. lore lost, but vorringia won. i never played the lore map so it had my vote. but, ah well. even if it won, we'd still be stuck with current server up conditions.

bardiel 10 Posted June 12, 2015 Lower pop on a functioning server or inflated CN pop on a broken server? Safe to say the answer is pretty simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skaindk 3 Posted June 12, 2015 Lower pop on a functioning server or inflated CN pop on a broken server? Safe to say the answer is pretty simple. I dont understand how wm enjoys playing a pvp game when they are 85% of the entire server pop. Sigh, ill play but the pop will drop due to wm then they get the server to themselves. Maybe they enjoy it that way so they can pve all day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
