| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 00:10 Well, as i said, i've stopped all games so that noone is disadvantaged.

| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 00:23 Requiem, do you need to pay for your hosting? If you need to, I am sure there is a contact stating the minimum amount of uptime for the hosting server. You could actually ask for compensation or something if it is not met. You are after all paying for their service. | | Requiem [R]Joined 3/02/2000 Posts : 4882
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 00:36 no i'm not paying. I'm getting free hosting through a gaming friend of mine in the usa.
Hosting there is usually very good, and the guys that run it are always helpful and friendly. The current server problems is on their webserver, and effects all their hosted websites.
I have access to their server and I'm working with them to try and resolve it. | | dkpunk Joined 8/08/2002 Posts : 6

| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 12:10 I just logged in very fast,could be a fluke. | | Gutterfly Joined 19/01/2002 Posts : 1877
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 12:39 I just got in immediately. It seems to be working well right now. | | Requiem [R]Joined 3/02/2000 Posts : 4882
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 12:50 ok... i THINK i may have found the problem with the server.
If all goes well, i'll start up the updates again at the end of the day. | | mimic Joined 14/10/2001 Posts : 1032

| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 14:40 Darkplague, just to clarify: I didn't mean "Waronline is free, so I expect it to suck at least a little." (Hope I didn't come across that way) This is easily the coolest game I've found online, and it's free to play--I think we are all pretty lucky to be able to play this game at no cost, and the server issues are a pretty minor inconvenience that can happen to anyone. I enjoy playing here, enjoy all the players I've played against and didn't want to come off sounding ungrateful. | | DoRW Empirez Joined 17/09/2001 Posts : 1521

| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 17:43 dorw, cdh121 was criticizing darkplague, tho in a very subtle way, if im not mistaken. that criticism was the core statement, i think. just my 2 cents.
however, waronline is faster than i have ever experienced it Last Edited : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 17:44 | BLOODAXE Joined 14/07/2001 Posts : 549
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 18:57 i with morb.fastest i ever seen gameplay go. | | Kingmen Joined 23/07/2001 Posts : 2010
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 19:40 it fast at times but still got some bugs n it. like if u move or attack something. and u hit refresh, it goes back to the place it started from. like i use it to attack a building and i use my action pts. then i hit refresh and it says i got 100% still. BUT if i attack it again and then i close the map. and reopen it. it's ok. so there is still a bug in it somewhere. | | Darkplague Joined 30/07/2002 Posts : 18
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 19:42 Actually Morbius he wasn't. I didn't take it that you expected the game to suck since it is free. I like you was saying it is good to have a great free game. | | Morbius Joined 15/07/2001 Posts : 3923
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 20:00 you said that you get what you pay for, and that we should therefore refrain from complaining. doesnt that imply that waronline's supposed to suck since its free? dunno, i thought it might.
cdh121 dissociated himself from that statement by saying that he never meant to say that, thus maybe indirectly criticizing you? thats the way i understood it, but i could be mistaken, as i had already mentioned above.
whatsoever, the problems could have occured as well, had waronline been P2P, i think.
kingmen, ive also heard about some bug like that. reopening the map helps, hitting refresh doesnt -- weird, isnt it. Last Edited : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 20:04 | cdh121 Joined 30/07/2002 Posts : 22
| Posted : Saturday, 31 August 2002 - 20:54 I wasn't criticizing anyone (although I certainly would if I thought it was called for )--just saying that for a free game, Waronline is equal to or better than every other online strategy game i've played, free or not. Server problems are part of life with computers; just because problems are occuring here, we shouldn't chalk them up to "low quality because it's free" or expect that there wouldn't be problems if we had to pay to play.
(climbs off soapbox)
and that's all I have to say about that! | | Requiem [R]Joined 3/02/2000 Posts : 4882
| Posted : Sunday, 1 September 2002 - 00:20 yes, this was a server issue, not a game issue.
since this website runs on the same physical box as other websites, any major problem with any website can effect all the others.
going p2p wouldnt change that unless a whole new server was purchased, and even then doesnt guarantee anything. altho i could never afford that anyway. | | sugarleo Joined 4/05/2002 Posts : 3773
| Posted : Sunday, 1 September 2002 - 02:54 Requiem, noticed you posted earlier that you thought you would be starting the updates again by the 'end of the day'. What's the status?....still on hold?......anxious... | | Morbius Joined 15/07/2001 Posts : 3923
| Posted : Sunday, 1 September 2002 - 09:40 okay, okay
