Just a head's up guys - our server is getting moved to a faster machine (unlike our previous host who tended to move our server to slower machines) so we have been warned to expect a downtime of 5 minutes to a couple of hours!
Will the server still be in the same location as it is right now?
Yes, and it's already been done. A benchmark app I ran on it before scored about 4.5, now it scores about 7.9 - yay!

Running again. It's supposed to reboot itself on a crash, so now I've put an extra proviso in to check if the server is running every minute and if it's not it will relaunch it automatically.
I don't think it liked all the remotes I spawned. So, if someone wants to reset it or an npc kill all, that would be awesome.
Uh, the server is weird. I can't see my character and all the animations are messed up. Everyone is standing in that neutral position with their arms and legs spread out. I've connected to other servers including the SH, and my game runs fine. Any idea what's going on?

Yep... leave it to John to break the server

Scheduled server downtime, is only supposed to last a few minutes. It just coincidentally happened what I spawned a rancor!
Just reporting that KR1 is down as of this post.

nfo posted this on the server's control panel: -
It should be back up now.
I'd say it was ShellShock - but I had already patched bash as soon the update was released (not that our server handles html anyway...)
Due to a recently identified serious security concern, we will need to reboot most of the machines hosting our VDSes early on September 30. These reboots will begin at 11pm PDT / midnight MDT / 1am CDT / 2am EDT / 06:00 CEST, occurring at different times for each timezone as we handle them individually (starting with our Frankfurt machines and then moving west to the NYC machines and so on). We expect all reboots to be finished by approximately 3am PDT.I reckon that had something to do with it.
For the reboot, your VDS will need to be shut down for approximately 15-30 minutes. We will attempt to gracefully shut it down on our end through Xen, but sometimes this doesn't work perfectly, so we advise that you turn off unnecessary applications that might write to disk before the maintenance event, if possible. We also recommend backing up critical files, just to be safe in the case of a problem with the machine post-boot.
Also, please note that Windows 2012 R2 has a bug that causes it to sometimes not boot properly, then go to a recovery screen. If you are running a Windows 2012 R2-based VDS, you may need to log in with the VNC console to check for a recovery message and cancel out of it to try again. Eventually the OS will boot properly, and there are no further symptoms after the boot succeeds.
It should be back up now.

Looks like server is down again. Kinda odd when i was seeing Jedi Home map uploaded then i saw MB2 maps. I was baffled... but i decided to check here and by correction the server is down.
This appears to be something at nfo's end (our provider) so we wait for that to get sorted!
The truth is, jato tried to crash the server with his new powers, seeing as to how his attempts failed, he bribed NFO (Nice Flying Octopuses) to attack the server. Now Jawfin is hunting the octopus down with falcon, zab, and batman to restore justice, without them knowing of jato and AJ's plot of trying to sabotage the server. AJ was busy this time planning for their next server attack.
There once was a member of this land,
A humerous posting he had planned.
But when he posted,
By mods he was toasted,
And he had found himself banned.

Any idea when it will be back up?
