Was just wondering if the server was down.. I have tried on and off for the last 3 hours with out any luck....

It was up a few minutes ago, and imagine my surprise when I materialized in the tavern, and heard my music playing...I'm back to stoked once again. That's great. :D

By the way, RTB, thank you for the help last night. Greatly appreciated by my lowly rogue build who can't hit a dang thing on Level Eight. Wasn't doing much better on Level Eleven now that I think about it. Both of those places were not even pretending to be friendly to non-epic builds created by an amateur (namely myself). This rogue of mine should do well within Level Fourteen though. She's probably best with a party, although her Charisma is the pits. *laughs*

As much as I wanted to just watch the show, as Micah and I once did with a paladin facing Ol' Red, I just couldn't do it. I figured since I spanked ol' Muriel so easy, I just had to help.

I wonder if my weaponmaster would fare any better. Then again, him and my warhammer using pure fighter haven't seen much use recently. I should start getting out more of my older characters and get them "stoned up" so I can visit these lower planes with ease and fury. I have rogues and rangers with the Ancient Longbow Of Power (two of them!) that have no stones items to traverse the levels with swiftly. And of course there is that Cleric/SOrcerer/Red Dragon Disciple I was thinking of making to use all those new Cyrist items with...

Is the server down today (January 3)? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Well, now I know it's not just me, it hasn't been on Gamespy all day.

Server's down. I was checking to make sure all I needed was Massive 1.3 but EfU is offline :( .

Well, I just wait until it comes up again.

*sigh* Just when Fade Aloway had gotten to lvl 13, the server crashed. *sigh*

I know, sad but true - knew it was on it's way out when I couldn't touch anything. Thanks for the company (not sure my character can cut it though - fabulous AC, can't punch her way out of a paper bag!). Back to the drawing board later.

Hey, that sounds like most of my characters, except they get walloped on as well. You might want to post up your build in the NWN forum to see if anyone has some ideas of where you can improve your setup. Most of mine were purely concept-based and spur of the moment planning. In short, doomed to failure. Thanks to T-D-C and Robert The Bard, I think I may finally have a character that can challenge the higher levels with a modicum of success. It's a small start, but it's a start.

As for the server caving in on itself, we did have it going for a long while. Perhaps there were artifacts on different levels still active? (Creatures running about, piles of gold left behind from slain creatures, et cetera.) That would push it over the edge in terms of usage on the CPU I figure. I am no genius when it comes to NeverWinter Nights, but I have a feeling it's not as "smart" as we would like it to be some days.

I did notice last night that you boys are not being very careful to pick up drops--and we all know how that lags things, don't we. *whistles innocently*

Of course, that does leave more for us come-latelies, but still.

Concept characters -- like my little "Hoochie of Death"?

I can't believe you quoted me on that...
*sighs, blushes*

And I normally collect my own drops - and the drops of others. You know me and my 15+ bags worth of items I tend to carry with me. How do you think I have enough cash to buy some of the best items for OTHER people? Level Eleven and Level Twelve are probably the worst for me in terms of collection because there's so much left behind by others. Which reminds me the next time I make a character to just dump about 15 bags filled of items on them. It'll make it easier to get the money for scrolls and potions. I still have two ranger builds, one rogue build, and a new paladin build to start on. (That brand new longsword the Cyrists kidnapped would look nice dual-wielded if at all possible...)

Should I be worried that the Great Z is implementing even more diabolical manners in which to kill, umm, I mean, challenge us adventurers since the server appears to be offline right now?

Na, just some oddness. my second hard drive which is the newer 300gig SATA. well, it rebooted the system, and then wasn't detecting on boot.

Ok.... open the case. tighten cables.

now SATA HD boots, but my P-ATA HD doesn't. WTF?

So I replace the data cable. nothing. Check bios boot list, all fine.

So last chance, I change the power couplers for BOTH HD's. Separate the power rails, so amperage is split. Worked fine--or its a motherboard issue, which comes and goes. (This weirdness happened a few months ago)

It's either the power supply (which HAS been running nonstop since 2002) or it's the motherboard. Both are cheap to fix, so no biggie if they go.

All seems back to normal now. I SHOULD just order a new Power supply. it's so old. ;)

Server will be back up in 10 mins.. moving all the crap back in place.

I think this PC was jealous because I didn't dust IT out too.. [img]smile.gif[/img] (It was dirty)...

I am going to build a new PC soon--a dual-core, just gotta get a small loan from our credit union--they have awesome 9% loans.

Server just crashed - no warning (such as lag, black-out, etc). The error message did say my server-side character had been saved, though.

*sigh*

That's usually a good sign, it means that new content is most probably on the way. You probably missed a server message to that effect as well.

Oops, down again. If you don't like us killing all of the dragons in a single session you just have to say, Z.

Up again [img]smile.gif[/img]

...er, it's a yoyo... [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Just wondering if it went down again. Fought my way down to lvl 8 was at Demo and all of a sudden the server timed out.
That has been happening to me lately. I seem to get alot of server time outs. Is there any way to prevent this on my end?

It's down again, methinks.

Yep, I took it down for testing level 15, I'm opening it in 10 mins! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I'm glad the server just crashed! It needed a reset badly.

And it loaded the update! [img]smile.gif[/img]

*snifflesniffle* Server's down and I can't get in to de-stress after having been in town around sheeple all day :( .

hey, i wasn't on it long, but it was fun! i'm kinda glad it crashed out because i love an excuse to build a new character. :D

thanks z! i can't believe i waited so long to try it out.

V***V

Hey! Glad you joined in! Hope to see you on alot more! Theres tons to explore! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just wondering if the server is down.. Trying to stay up late to keep on a midnight schedule ( got off of a 5 day strech , off 2 and then back for another 7 days UGH) and it appears to be down. Need to smack things to help stay awake......

No, its up.. try again.. hmm. 2 People have been on for a while now.

He must have tried to hit it right when we decided to reset it...I know for a fact that it was busy for 15 hours straight, as I was on for about 9 of them, and when I came back, it hadn't reset...Nothing like starting on 14, when you think you'll be in the tavern... :D
