Yes, as most of you will probably have heard by now, Leanon went down today and we don't have any ETA on when it will be back
For the moment, Aniro is still up and doing well

But ... my Order ... my family ... my one and only character ... *snif*

*Hugs Salazar* Let's just hope it will come back... soon (TM).

Maybe someone could update the server status "leds", or no one is even bothering to?

Aren't they scripted? (automated)

The tool from the webpack doesn't always show the right feeds (since the server troubles started) so I assume it uses a similar system and I doubt the CSR can fix it without a dev &/or web admin.
Not to mention the craptastic plone website doesn't show live page versions unless you add a trailing slash to the url and it's been like that from day one of the "new" site afair.

They used to be, but since the change to "static" mode (without slash) I guessed someone needs to basically "change the <a href> tag", so to speak, and, as you say, I doubt anyone 'xcept someone having access to the server can really change it...

Ok here is my look at things. We know the server crashed and will not be restarted, my guess ins the dev that was stilll hanging on to his job by a thread has been terminated or found another job somewhere so there is noone to perform this restart. Due to the lack of funds and the job being temporary they probably will not replace this dev.

*cue Mission Impossible theme*

Sasi (in all black ninja HA) rappels into the datacenter. Looking around and finding that the free pizza with sleeping drugs has taken out the techs, she consults the blueprint she hacked from the secret government database.

She moves quickly down the rows of server racks, and finds the cabinet she is seeking. A few swift manipulations of her super-secret lock-picking tools have the cabinet open in a flash.

With one more glance around, she snaps on the surgical glove with the false fingerprint stolen from the CEO of gameforge. Now ready, she performs the intricate sequence required to revive both Arispotle and Leanon.

*pokes two reset buttons*

She quickly closes and re-locks the cabinet, moves silently down the aisles, and attaches her miniature high speed winch to the black rope she entered by ((Sasi *IS* a miniature high speed wench...)), and rises through the open ceiling tile above.

Minutes later, she disappears over the fence, just ahead of three barking Raguses and a snarling Torbak.

Uhm, wouldn´t it be easier if someone just payed another year of server time
(And before anyone gets strange Ideas, there would probably not be a refund, IF a new owner was found. )

With the French server down now, time has running out for us Ryzomites, at least for some undetermined time.

Probably we have not all gone into Jena's light yet; but as no-one knows if we will meet again (I met very few of you, though), I wish you all that Jena will enlighten your steps, and that her blessing will be with you on all your ways.
