What a piece of junk! -Virtue - Jun 06 10:16am

Okay, so this news post is long overdue for two reasons: #1, There hasn't been a news post since April. #2, The content of this news post should have been covered ages ago (although a Forums post has been made about it).
So apologies for that. :(

Basically, servers.
Here's the deal...

Kaelis and Myself provide our official EU Servers, but due to a loophole in the contract that we had with our company on their part concerning the amount of bandwidth used, they decided to shut our box down. This meant that JA Euro Home went down, as did Jaktorow (Aurochs Server) and our two MovieBattles Servers.
We are currently in the process of getting a new (and better) box with a different company and getting all of our servers back online again the reason we've been held up is because one of us had an unforseen RL issue that had to be addressed, so we need to wait for payday again before we can finalise the Server purchases, so please bare with us, they'll be back soon! (Huge apologies to the Aurochs as well) :)

As for the US Servers... I personally am not sure why they're down and I wasn't actually aware of it until recently. I did speak with Huxley a few weeks ago though - he was unaware of the "slowmo lag" troubles that we were having on them and felt really bad about it, he told me that he'd get them working properly again - so maybe the US Server downtime is due to Hux giving them a bit of an audit. :)

There are a couple of (really awesome) people who have been good enough to donate servers to us recently, Johauna and Solitude.
Johauna is having a few problems with her hosting company right now but is confident her server will be back online any time now, so her server information will be updated as soon as that happens
Solitude has only just recently donated his server.

So thank you very much to both members, we really appreciate it! :D

I hope the rest of you are all well and hope to see you soon! :)

Correct IP port and password?

According to his server information page it is the same password as for the other JA servers.

Also, if I had the wrong password it would say so.



I was under the impression you were referring to my server. http://www.thejediacademy.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=16897

As far as I am aware, Johauna's server is currently down.

I am still in the process of having the server fixed. Due to its unstability (it was going down every time after each hour in last month) the server providers moved it to other computer, which they claim to be more stable. All we are waiting is - server will be moved on the original IP as well as they need to fix it so we have old good settings in it as well.

Stay tuned! The server WILL be back ;)

I can't seem to connect to that either.

Is there a problem with my setup maybe? I can get to public servers.

The US servers are down at the moment. The european servers were taken offline permanently, but we should have new ones at the end of this month. Johauna's server always goes offline within hours of support fixing it. Solitude's server is still up, though may be going down soon for a short while for upgrades.

You can find Johauna's server information here.

I can't connect to the JK3 home, Solitude's server or the euro server.

It's the fastest server on the academy! At some times 'connection problem' appeared but it was gone after 1 second. (I was downloading MB while I was playing and I also have a faster connection then before.)

My ping is awesome, the server is the fastest and smoothest I've seen so far.

So far, I've had no problems on the server, although if I recall correctly, I had a spike for about 1 second once, a while after my dad (who downloads things often) went to bed. Don't know if he was really sleeping then or still surfing the internet, or if it was just me.

Ah, yes, sorry for the double post but ...

Can I get feedback on:

#1 pings

#2 at how many users does the server lag down?

Thanks.

The problems should all be gone when the new server arrives, but the feedback would still be appreciated.

Glad to help out. :)

This is just a general note for anyone curious:

The current server is on a 100mb line, but is somewhat ancient.

Pentium 3 Coppermine 1GHz, 512MB ram, 9gb hdd.

I have just ordered some new parts, so this week, it is being upgraded to:

Pentium E2180 Allendale, Dual-core 2GHz 1MB L2 cache, 2GB ram, RAID-1 80GB disks.

So, when the parts arrive, expect some downtime while I migrate accounts and data over. :)

I will post again before the upgrade, if the Gods of Computing smile on me, it should not take more than 2 hours. :)
