Really Reflex ....Really
another server down thread
It's not a server down thread.
It's evony performing maintenance with little to no warning thread. Which is ridiculous.
Enjoying Evony Retirement.
I thought people complained about other people being online while others can't login?
Now Reflex is saying the opposite.
Can't please everyone eh?
Just take a deep breath Reflex and continue whatever you were doing now that the servers are back on.![]()

It's tough luck for the other people, 5 minutes doesn't make that much of a difference. And it's been done before.. they have fixed the log in portal without taking down the servers themselves.

Tough luck just doesn't cut it. (Frankly you sure sound quite selfish with your messages here Reflex. Me Myself and I mentality?)
We, the customers, asked for an assurance that when the login portal is messed up, that everyone cannot play, as to have no unfair advantage over people who cannot login and defend.
They fixed the login portal in 18mins today. What if it takes them 3hrs? How many lost cities will there be because people cannot login while others stayed online?
Evony should take all the servers down everytime there's something that causes people to not be able to login while others are on. It's the right thing to do.

mmm. so let me get this right. we keep having issues because of the login server.
one single point of failure.
why doesnt the login server distribute user login info hashes to each server - distribute the database. The game servers do not need read/write access to it, only read access to check the validity of a password against a hash. The login server would not be half as taxed if it only had to send updates to the slave databases when someone logged in to the main evony page and changed their password.
throwing more hardware at the problem wont change the fact that you make every game server dependent on one single login server.
You seem to be missing the point. Take the servers off if nobody can log in. PLEASE. Take them off.
But give us more than 55 seconds to do what we have to do, OR don't make taking the servers offline act like a genuine maintenance, and level our flats and vallies.
Let's understand the actual argument before telling the OP hes wrong, Melri.
Agreed, more than 55 seconds is desired. the full 15mins if possible.
But 55 seconds is better than nothing. Or worse, not taking the servers offline at all.
Ever thought about that the only way to "take the servers offline" is to push the maintenance button?
Servers can't just be shut off you know![]()

So, your telling me in a system where you decide what makes it work, you can't put in a function that not only stops people from connecting, but also cuts all current connections?
Don't act like you know so much about their system that such a request would be so out of this world. You don't.
