Servers are coming back up. Enjoy!

Seeing a perfect 120v 60hz from the line is making my pants tight.
They are replacing the bad Transformer today.

ETA 2 PM EST / 6 PM UTC0
Servers coming back up now.

It was a "bad lug" on the transformer and they did a "temporary fix."

They will be back Tuesday to replace the transformer.
Power is out again.

Thank my neighbors for letting trees grow into the lines.

Nothing I can do until the power company clears the lines.
Servers are up now, enjoy!
Brought the server down for hardware upgrades yesterday afternoon.

Upgrades ran longer than expected.

Hardware upgrade is done but the power starting cutting out and strobing during the hardware config.

Hours later and the power is still strobing.

When the power company fixes the power I will finish up and bring the servers back online.

May the force be with you and guide your skills.

Any updates on this upgrade?

Will the servers be playable tonight?

Went a bit sideways but nothing catastrophic, it is just taking longer than expected.

I hate to give another way-off ETA.

I recommend sex, guns, and rock and roll while you wait. Or TV. :D

Not going to lie, the extended time has been very disappointing.

Very disappointing, but shit happens. I've been aching for my game! Haha

Still waiting on the power company. ⚡

It looks like a club went overboard with the strobelights here.

The neighbor's lights are doing the same thing so a squirrel probably chewed the line on our pole. 🐿️

It's raining now so I doubt they will bother tonight. I doubt they would have, either way. 🌧️

They will probably ignore it until someone else calls too so I will have my neighbor call them in the morning.

All electronics are off until they fix it.

A pretty dissappointing day all around I would say.

But hey, if downtime in a game qualifies as dissapointing I would say life is pretty good. 😎

Thanks for hosting. I know it's a thankless job managing server most days. until it goes down. Appreciate it.

Thanks Nismon. 🙂

The power guy did show up about 2 AM and replaced a bunch of stuff at the box and on the pole but it didn't solve the problem.

He said he is coming back tomorrow during the day to try a couple more things.

I will keep you posted.
