NWN server may go offline due to hurricane trouble

Larry_OHF · 09-02-2004, 10:19 PM

I know that some of you only come to this forum, so I will spread the word here that a large hurricane is heading straight for Florida, and the early indications are expecting the worst. The state still has not recovered from the previous two that hit only three weeks ago, and now a bigger one is in direct line for the state. Ziroc may be forced to turn off the server, and maybe even evacuate for safety, but it is too early now to tell just how bad this may get. He may get lucky, but I still want everyone to expect trouble, and keep your thoughts on our webmaster while he weathers the storm.

Good luck Ziroc! Keep your family close by and safe.

Damn the server run for your life.
I'll be thinking of you, find some high ground in Georga someplace.
Good luck during ths big mama coming at you.

First thing first Z.

Grab your wife under one arm and choc under the other and get out of there if you have to.

or batten down the hatches and get that protection from the elements spell memorised.

Stay safe Z!

[img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks all! Yeah, we got hit from the left side of Florida and it went nearly RIGHT over our county. NOW it looks like we're going to be hit from the right side of Florida and the path AGAIN takes it right over our damn county.

Some evil magic is afoot. Detect magic, Choc. Me thinks Halaster is envolved... the REAL Halaster

Not me.

I hope it dies out before it hits the coastline, because this sucker is HUGE, plus, we have had 10 inches of rain this month (August), and we have standing small pools of water in our lawn. THIS SUCKER could drop 20 INCHES! We're screwed if it dumps that much.

I am going to calk the sliding glass windows, and seal it water tight. Since that is where the water would come in. I've suspended work on the EfU mod until Monday due to all this crap. But you have a LOT to look forward to! WOW.. since this new hak is fixed, I am going NUTS with the gauntlet and 3 other levels that will all be opened at once this month--in a week or 10 days.

Then.... New tileset replacements for the Dwarven hall, ALL sewer levels, and some secret stuff.

NEW ARMOR designs in this Hak are awesome too!

*EXCELLENT SMITHERS*

Get caulking Z

Wish there was some way we could help you out with this big sucker!

Just remember if you house gets lifted off the ground and you land on top of a witch remember there is no place like home, there is no place like home, there is no place like home.

*clicks ruby slippers 3 times*

BTW I would love to see the old dwarven halls on level 13 but havn't figured how to get into there or any of the other areas on 13 (besides the void plane and lake of shadows)

Cheers!

All the best Z, look after yourself mate. Someone's cast a Storm of Vengeance at you but you guys will get through it make sure you cast Greater Spell Mantle!

I hope everything will end up being OK, and you won't receive much damage.

We recently had a hail storm with hail the size of crap apples. I have friends whose houses and cars look like someone has taken a machine gun to them. They put some of it in there freezer, I was lucky I only got hit by light hail but lots of it. They were insured though, after getting though these situations you have to try to look at the lighter side.

In Halifax after a hurricane they always say, "At least we don't have to prune the trees."
