    yes they have a few other games in the past have so they could update stuff on the site, all i am saying is i dont think there is anything to worry about.

     Website servers do not come off line for anything that has to do with the game.

    They are on completely different servers.

    You could host the Darkfall site on $6 / month hosting package from godaddy



     

    Confirm this. CCP hosts EVE on the same server as their site. How can you be certain? I agree that its probably a bandwidth problem.

    It's probably thier ISP, and a shitty one it must be, since the site goes down once a week.

    Aventurine.gr and Thenoob is down to, that's why I am calling it an ISP problem..

     

    Edit: Gotta say exelent timeing though.. heh

    Yes the hosting server is down.. 

    They would not take down an entire server just to do a website update.

    Good idea.  Unfortunately, some companies don't accept those or debit cards.  Strange, but happens.  So make SURE they take more than just credit cards with VISA or Mastercard logo.  Read the fine print for debit and gift cards.

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    I am able to reach the page but like the other guy said its all broken images and loading very slow..

    it's just the Hosting provider fucking up on their end

    yes but that happensa when some changes are bieng implemeneted, And thay have to restart  server with the updated content, like if i was bringing up a new website and adding stuff that is what would happen.

     

    It is no chance that it is just happening today. it is a good feeling i have that when it comes back up there will be some kind of update or new site ? Then again i am being stupid lol if thay was bringing up new website would thay not tell us in advance that the site and forums would be down due to new website and updates ?

    no   it  wouldnt.

     

    you do not take an entire server offline to update a website

    you don't get it.

    the server is not down.. it's just barely online. the original site is still there

    ive been following this game for juz a few weeks. whilst it may not be tru, there are a few reasons i could tink of y this has happened.

    1.) theyre doing some major updates, preparing for the release of the closed beta. ( chances 5/10)

    2.) serverdown which is the most easiest and likely explanation. (chances 8/10)

    3.) this is juz some sick experiment on the level of addiction some gamers have,how blinded they are even though they do realise the messed up PRs some of the game companies have. and now that they've got their intended results, poof! they bring everything down. lol. ( chances 1 in a million)

    4.) this is a 8yr old scam by an even sicker grp of ppl. (chances 1 in a million too)

    guess what.. im placing my bet on the last 2 options.. haha..GG

  • You bring a whole server down when you are adding new layers to the original website, such as billing , account management new databases etc.

     

    Tatix, since you seem to believe CCP are idiots where is your MMO?

     no you dont.

    Third party processors handle payment processing and billing. That stuff is not hosted on the same server. It's just linked to

    and like I said.. the server is not down. the original site is still there. It's just that the ISP is messed up.

    No you don't even if you would put it on the same server. It's not like installing an update on windows, witch would require multiple restarts.

    Website isn't down, just getting hammered and extremely slow to load. Forums, not too sure about. I haven't got anything to load there, unlike the main webpage.
