ForsakenMage Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You know, I wonder if the solution to all this was simply to have those 2.3k people on RuneScape right now to log off, and things get fixed again.

Ren Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Anyone interested (with access to RSC) just type in "Runescape classic" on the runescape wiki at Runescape.com. Scroll down until you see "Classic 1/2/3" highlighted. They are links to the classic servers. EDIT: Obat, tell Yafi to change name to Mgt Ramo.

WeatherMatt Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 HYT RSC mass. NOW. I'm not a veteran Classic member, so I'm on server 2 in Draynor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose No Hope Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It would appear I no longer have access to RSC...

Sorator Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Classic! Woo! I think I've logged into RSC like four times in my 8 years of playing. Now if only we could get access to FCs in Classic... Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoko Kurama Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I just logged onto RSC, apparently I still have access despite being away for 400+ days. It managed to keep my interest for a few minutes before I left. That aside, this server crash is simply annoying, that's all, I will survive(assuming there are no major roll-backs).

Tecmaster Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Having worked as a sysadmin I've seen this kind of thing happen firsthand. One of the biggest things you learn is that no matter how hard you try to make sure everything is perfect, something WILL break. I can't speak on how well Jagex's datacenters are planned and what their server architecture looks like, but servers do go down and issues happen. Usually with proper planning and redundancy most issues won't even be noticeable to the end user and they'll have no idea that anything happened. Take VMs for example, you have 3 servers running a bunch of VMs running on them. If on server goes down the other servers will recognize that and pick up all of the VMs running on the down server so quickly that most users won't even notice a service interruption of more than a few seconds if at all. That being said though, there are issues that are just totally beyond your control. Power goes out at the datacenter for several hours, you're going to have downtime. ISP fails and you have no outbound internet connection, you're going to have downtime. It's just part of running a computer system with a lot of servers. Jagex actually is known for switching ISPs if they have significant issues with them though, they have on serveral occasions dropped an ISP and picked up a different one on short notice because of issues with downtime. However, I do think that Jagex has some issues on their side too. I really don't like the lack of redundancy between the login servers. Each login server supports a specific number of accounts and there's no backup for them. If one goes down, anyone assigned to that login server can't login. It's just a really dumb system. How hard can it possibly be to build in some sort of redundancy between them. Also, the login servers treat all accounts as logged in unless they get a logout request from the game world that the account was logged into. This is just really bad programming IMO. Every one of the login servers should be able to keep track of the status of all the game worlds and be able to unlock accounts if they lose connection to a game world for more than x minutes. The current system where they wait for the game world to come up again before unlocking the accounts of everyone who was on it is just silly. There are some issues that are beyond Jagex's control, but some of their own design decisions are questionable at best and really just seem like poor design choices.

Fleetsy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 On RuneScape, I'm fishing. However IRL, I'd find new skills to learn and help me be a more employable and useful person overall. Life would be much more richer if I just didn't have the internet, in all honesty. Achieved 99 Woodcutting on 12/06/08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lep Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Summer weather is awful. I spent a little over $1,000 this year to finally enjoy nice weather (bikes & kayaks) but it just isn't worth it in summer. Humidity, extreme heat and exhaustion are ridiculous. Anyone who wants to be outside in 30+ degree (celcius), humid weather has problems. Being inside for the majority of summer is the best way to go. Spring, Fall and Winter are the best months of the year. Spring and Fall for doing everything you want to outside being the weather is BEAUTIFUL is ideal. And winter is an awesome season for many reasons. Anyone who likes summer more than winter has problems. /100% true facts Seriously, I hate summer. I work in it all day every day and it sucks. Can't enjoy this crap weather. Would be nice if some good video games were released during summer. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Lep, I think it depends on where you live. Here, summer is usually pretty mild, though it can be sweltering. The difference is that in fall, it gets to rainy and wet to do the summer activities. Winter is overall just.. dreary here. But I do agree I much prefer fall/spring over summer. And I do enjoy winter, just for different reasons. Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
