Why do we have to get the info from LOTRO first?

6:50PM Update: Due to a power issue at our datacenter, all services within the datacenter lost power. For unknown reasons, the backup power systems did not properly come online causing all services to lose power and go offline. Once the power issue is resolved, we will begin the process of verifying and restoring our games and websites. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience.

Holy fucking christ on a plastic crutch, what the fuck sort of datacenter are they using for crying out loud?!  I must have done inspections of a few dozen different sites, and I've never come across any that could suffer an outage that profound in anything short of a major earthquake or the building blowing up.

That is some weak shit, right there.

No argument, but this is their datacenter provider's fault and doubtless impacted a whole lot of services other than Turbines.  The shit they host wouldn't even make for an anchor tenant in any decently-sized operation.

From what I heard it is Internap which is a pretty decent company from what people have told me.

Other than they did have a big outage in the hey day of Live Journal.

The Seattle co-location had a junction box that has 3 separate trunk lines and the back up generator connected to it, plenty of back up sources. 

Didn't help when the junction box was hit by a truck.

LOTRO brings in more money. Common business sense, capitalize what brings in the greatest amount of money. DDO fans are dumb, we will latch on with our hate and stay forever.

Again, because Turbine.

Power outage ought to be the EASIEST challenge for a data center to face.  And thwart.

Like most everything Turbine related, probably the cheapest one they could find.

Nobody cares about DDO except the players. WB didn't even care enough to put DDO in their Humble bundle, but LOTRO made the cut. Too bad, I had already bought it just for the Batman games, an extra 500 TP would've been nice.

That's what I thought too when I saw that. No love for DDO.

We really ARE pathetic.

Sad
  

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

Ok. Great. I am right now in a village with shitty internet. If the conection works, the wife sleeps (I use her notebook, I only have a desktop and I didn´t bring it), the baby sleeps and the mother in law is busy...then the servers are down.

Cheesy

Turbine really need to evaluate their datacentre provider - they've not had a good run of late.
