outage

[redbones]

We had an unforseen outage for a few hours today. Everything should be fixed up now. Let us know if you have any technical issues.

Thanks for your patience.

[_Darkness_]

Alright, thanks for the information.

[C.H.I.L.L.]

He lives!

[Apocalypse0375]

He gone! :p

[Buster]

Man 10 reps now... does that suck..
Now its 9...Yup..

[EmelGreenLeafer]

redbones? back??? O.o

[Zander]

"few" hours?
*cough

Where's the :bullshit: smiley when you need it?

[dakhamee]

Thats for infoming us Reb Bones.

[Sangro]

yea i agree with zander...forums were down since 2 am last night, not a few hours

[dirka dirka]

That is a few hours though.. compared to the nightly outage of about an hour, 12 hours is really only a few hours.

[Jeffery]

Of course, there were a whole slew of sites and hosting companies that reported huge outages of many different sites, almost all of them with massive forums of several kinds.
TAO was simply one site of many that experienced the backlash of what will be shed as a major attack on the internet.

[meat.eater]

"few" hours?
*cough

Where's the :bullshit: smiley when you need it?

You survived.

[mushroom_girl]

You survived.
Damn!

Honestly, I had people yelling at me and saying that they'd sue me if I didn't get the forum back up.

Oh it was fun. :)

[Mystery)]

Compared to what it could have been, that outage was a relatively short one.

[Jeffery]

Compared to what it could have been, that outage was a relatively short one.
Yeah, next time I must remember to dump the off site backups as well......

Er. I mean, Golly that was bad.

;)

[Snork]

Damn!

[Office_Shredder]

[Cuathon]

Click "Remember Me".

[mushroom_girl]

Are you serious??
Who did that??

Just random noobs who bust my chops about everything. :)

I had fun with it. But it did get annoying when every single person (who had been logged in for the last time I answered) kept asking "OMG WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?"

I just started ignoring it after a while and let other people do the talking.

[sythe]

soooo what did really happen im still kind of lost

[Learz]

So, like, its working again?


Hahahaha. I wonder who'll flame me....

[philrox]

yes, it is working again. I was just on Banff on my grey. I was in a game, unfortunately losing because the guy had distracted me in getting my cleric. Next thing you know, I disconnected. I was quite mad, thinking I could have still won because of my enchantress. I log back on a minute later, and it appeared as if I didn't lose any stats, nor the guy I was vsing gain any. Everbody had disconnected at the same time.

Everything is back under control.

I also was unable to get on the site yesterday as well for a short time.

[speaker4thedead]

All the talk of ownership seed going and bills e.t.c. then suddenly redbones pops up :wink2:

Anyway thx for the info

[Jeffery]

We should find out which bar Redbones hangs at, and go slip him a roofie.......

[Learz]

Hmm.... you drive limos, right Jeff..? Lots of room in them...?

[Jeffery]

Hmm.... you drive limos, right Jeff..? Lots of room in them...?
Depends which one you want....

But for Redbones I'd prefer to just use some rusted out beater van. Less traceability.

[Unforgottner]

so whats this major "attack" ya'll speak of?

better yet, will my stash of internet porn be affected?!

[mantis33]

Damn, one post and all those negs went to waste. :p

[death of humans]

Click "Remember Me".

:dry: :dry:

do you honestly think i wouldnt of tried that already

[Zander]

Stop deleting your cache/cookies/saved information etc etc

In other words, stop looking at porn.

[Roby21]

I cant believe this it wont let me on and i did nothing wrong at all its been more than 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!:angry:

[Learz]

I don't like you, so I didn't let you on.
Sorry.

[Vash2000]

Games working find out, still the same and nothing wrong.

[Chaos 4.0]

We had an unforseen outage for a few hours today. Everything should be fixed up now. Let us know if you have any technical issues.

Thanks for your patience.

I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier! I have been getting a "Connection Refused" sign for the past 2 weeks or so.
I know my account wasn't banned because
1. There wasn't a mod on at the time. (Well, they might've been on invisibile, but meh.)
2. I had someone I trust (A mod) get on my account for me. It worked.
Can you or one of the admins help?

[Learz]

1. There wasn't a mod on at the time. (Well, they might've been on invisibile, but meh.)


Hmm... you were doing something that might have banned you...?
:wink2:

Have you tried disabling your firewall?

[Chaos 4.0]

I wasn't even chatting I don't think. Well, I think it was with my clan, but yeah. And if you don't know my age already, I'm pretty young, let's leave it at that. So, I have no idea how to disable firewalls.

[Learz]

...In that case you may not want to fool with your firewall.

Some thoughts:
Have you tried making accounts on other servers?
Have you tried your library? Just to log in.
Have you tried playing on digisonline.com ?

What *may* fix the problem is this: Clear your temperary internet files and cookies.
If you don't know how to do that, tell me what browser your on (IE, Netscape, Firefox, etc.)

[Doctor Nipples]

If you have ever loved a horse in more ways than one than you know what i am talking about

[Learz]

:dry:

[Doctor Nipples]

[Learz]

I like to make up quotes

Ah, thanks for telling me.

[Doctor Nipples]

Wow that doctor nipples is so cool i wish to grow up big and stwong like him:wub:

Awww thank you.

[Learz]

I'm... generally nice to newbs, but... don't push your luck.
:)

[Doctor Nipples]

haha you think i'm a noob? i have been here since the poison wisp had 34 health

[Learz]

I was here when the Frost Golem was created.

But my point still stands.... try not to press your luck.
:)

[Doctor Nipples]

I was here when God was created.

But my point still stands.... try not to press your luck.
:)

Wow your even older than i am. Kudos.

[ExpectDeath]

haha you think i'm a noob? i have been here since the poison wisp had 34 health

That's not much to brag about...

That was what...A year ago?

[some1udontknow]

I've been here since the creation of the DT. And now just wait for someone to beat that.

[death of humans]

megabyte beats that dont he???

[Unforgottner]

I've been here since the creation of the DT. And now just wait for someone to beat that.

I designed the DT.

[G_RIDER_13]

lol...wow

[EddyGordo21]

I don't really know what's going on...

I played Tactics arena for a little while (I had 3 characters: EddyGordo21, Yun, and EastSport)

and I tried to log on today (at this link http://www.digisonline.com/tactics/play/) and now it's not working.

But this link does, and the other thing that's happened is that none of my characters have been created on this game..

I tried logging into them and none of them could be found...

I even had to remake this Forums account.

I don't know why it's not working now, but I had EddyGordo21 at 900 stat, EastSport at 900 stat, and Yun at 1000 stat. I had an extra cleric on EastSport and I had an extra pyromancer on EddyGordo21

I also had an extra pyro on Yun.

Could someone help me please? ;)

And this forum is much more confusing than the forum on the other page (and the colors on this one are different)

I had to remake everything =/

[Learz]

Here, at FPS (www.tacticsarena.com) there are monthly wipes of the free accounts.

That means, every month, ALL free accounts get deleted.

[EddyGordo21]

interesting... so this game isn't the same as the other game?

I noticed that the Furgon (if you have one) doesn't have a special attack (someone told me the only one with a special attack is the assassin)

that's very interesting... and strange.

so which game is the official one?

and to have grey accounts whiped at the end of the month seems to dampen the use for stats for greys anyway.

so ... wow... is there any way I can get my other accounts back?

[Wizzy`]

haha you think i'm a noob? i have been here since the poison wisp had 34 health

Hehehe.
This is what people from like 2005 are gonna be saying in like 2010


"I've been here since the wisp came out!"

"Really? I've been here since the game started 15 years ago"

"The game didnt start 15 years ago noob!"

"STFU NOOB COX!"

[death of humans]

I designed the DT.



:worthy: :notworth:

[The Red One]

so you guys experience outages over here as well....bummer

The gmaeplay here is similar, however, there are different policies in place.
The muddy and the assassin have special attacks. The furgon also has a special attack.
Legends is commonly known as "the test server" and here is commonly known as "the offical servers," however, that is popular belief, and I'm not sure if it is 100% accurate.
No, there is no way to get your accounts back. The wipe is sometimes called "an incentive to dish out money and go gold."

[AusIV]

My account was here last week, but now when I try to log in, I get an "Invalid username or password" error. Was there a wipe that wasn't posted?

[Shamus]

Yes, there was a wipe in which some grays got wiped, but others didn't.

[Hatchet Warrior]

I've been here since the creation of the DT. And now just wait for someone to beat that.

Fine, i'll beat that. I've been here since Oct 29th 2003.

[planktiffy]

omg! <--oct. 28th 2003 :p what son!

[Learz]

Come to think of it, does anyone know WHEN the Frost golem was introduced to the game?
I remember playing my first game of TAO when the Frost golem had just made the news that day.... but I don't know which day it was.
<.<

[Shamus]

Hmm, maybe this?: http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11533

[Learz]

That's referring to the DT, I believe.

The frosty was somewhere in Dec of '03.

But oh well.
I wonder if this thread'll get locked?

[Zander]

I was here before the 'serker <_<
yeah... that's all I got.
It came like a month or two after I started... giving me the impression such updates were frequent and common, like the updates on an unnamed RPG game I played before I came here that most definitely wasn't runescape.

[Apocalypse0375]

So what does all this have to do with the outage? :p

[Fallin_Demon]

I cant figure out what the outrage was in the first place.

[Zander]

outage, not outrage.

the game, forums, news page, everything.

[Chaos 4.0]

I wonder if this thread'll get locked?

It would seem like they would, but maybe the admins are waiting to see if someone else needs assistance in their TAOing.

[Silver Coast]

nah they will lock this, if u need help post it in Gold Account Help or Bugs or wherever....personally i think people still post here to be able to post in a thread in an admin section of forums :dry: :p

[Fallin_Demon]

outage, not outrage.

the game, forums, news page, everything.

Ahhh...Makes a little more since.:rolleyes:
