PEQ is down again ??

[war_master11]

it really blows that the server is not up for the entire weekend, guess i'll go back to starcraft2

FNW, for the sake of the whole peq community, why dont you allow others to access the server? seriously already, we appreciate that you are the "founder" of all this, but if you dont have the commitment to this project anymore, why dont you just give it up and let someone else handle it? the rule you have right now is just gonna kill this project if this same problem keeps happening. Look at recent peq population vs p1999 and you'll see TGC player base is going down hill.

Agree. As I said before , whether it is free or not does not matter at this point. The purpose of having a free EQ Server is completely defeated when the server goes down for 5 days at a time. It would be one thing if it was a freak thing that just happened once or twice. But this has happened Like 5 or 6 times since the start on 2010 alone...for extended periods of time just like this one. What is the purpose of people donating , and for that matter , why should anyone donate even a penny to a shaky server run by some dude who clearly does not want to even be doing this anymore? The server is losing people every single day that this drags out longer. Get some stability going on PEQ before it dies for good.

I don't think it'll die out as long as eqemu is still developing. PEQ is the main and test database for EQEMU and most if not all are based off of PEQ.

The entire purpose behind the donations is to move away from this host.

Also, please provide proof of 5 or 6 times this year that the server has been down for 5+ days please. Exaggerating certainly doesn't help your argument. Coming here and sounding off saying that the server is down for a week every month or so certainly doesn't help the next thing you said....

PEQ won't die. I've been around long enough to know that, of all the servers on the Emu, PEQ is the least likely to die. For starters, it's a test server. It is just here to develop a database for all of the other servers to use. When I started on PEQ, we peaked at 30-40 characters. It has only grown since then. If a large population of players is the goal, then there is most certainly about 50 other ways to grow the server's population. As it stands, we don't feel the need to grow the population or we would implement some of these things.

PLEASE War Master, bother to read the other posts on this subject Before you comment. The present server belongs to the person who originally set it up. He is no longer active. He is out in Colorado while the people presently running it live on the east coast. Those running it now are Trying to come up with the funds for a New server that they Will have access to. The new setup will cost around $4k & are asking for donations as it is a bit much to come out of their own pockets to run what is essentially a free game server.

What I'm trying to say is FNW should designate at least 1 or 2 developers as contact points with the hosting company. Right now it seems FNW is the only one that can talk them, why not let CD or others speak on his behalf?!

At this point, we don't even know what the hell is going on other than CD has contacted FNW. Has FNW even made contact yet with the host server? Or is the hosting server just keep delay the request for some reason??

Great point, obviously best case scenario would be the ability to directly contact someone who can touch the server. I'd imagine this has been addressed already?

Maladien, that's a great gesture.

Admins and those who give their time and resources to the Peq server, thank you. It's a great setup with the website, magelo, database etc. etc. I know I'll play on this server for the foreseeable future.
