Unexpected downtime (February 21, 2010)

[Archived Post]

Currently, the Champions Online Server is down. We are aware of this issue and are currently working to bring the server back online as soon as possible. Please keep an eye on this page for updates, and notification when Champions Online is available again.

UPDATE: Servers are back online

[Archived Post]

Now all I know was that I was in the middle of suspending a gold farmer when everything went down.

I REALLY hope that wasn't it >.>

ETA is 30 minutes.

Thanks for the update and the notification, greatly appreciate it!

I am curious as to what keeps happening. Seems like something that has been hapening rather often. Someone over there DL'ing pron and its killing the server or something>

[Archived Post]

Thanks for the quick heads-up!

oh Hi Tekka! ^_^

Thanks for the update Indigo.
There does seem to be a lot of instability lately...I've been DCed many times over the last week or so...any ideas to what is causing this? This seems to be happening to a lot of members as well, so I know it's not just me.

[Archived Post]

I would like to see some kind of return for these unexpected downtime
Either a limited use Device (30 Days or somethin) that would allow me to Knockback any given citizen 50 feet. A Destroid Whack-a-mole Game added to the website to amuse me during these downtimes
or a Swimsuit Calendar of Champions Online Females...

Did you push the big red button labeled "Ban Everyone" by mistake?

Swimsuit Calendar pls. In 3D. With scratch n sniff.

I noticed the pvp queues were screwed up for a few hours. I always have some pron up in the background, but that doesn't interfere with CO. Maybe that goldfarmer got angry.

I have wanted to get my hands on that button since I realized it actually does exist.

Unfortunately my bosses are smart and keep it hidden. :(

Hello! :)

I like the idea of a civilian knockback device! :D

Doubly so, appreciate the quick responce

[Archived Post]

The stability has been especially bad today. I was in a team in MC and DCd, when I checked back in everyone on my team had had the same problem. Ergo - not my connection. My connection is no where near the best so i like to check and see if a problem is happening to other before I blame something else... or at least I did until this past week in CO.

Ahh it is probably a wise decision that they do, lest you acquire it and become unto he that is named "The Great and Terrible Banner of All That is Ban-able".

Especially when I'm pvping against them.

Bam re-pick all your powers and the old ones are blocked out for 4 hours and watch all the FoTM kiddies cry....I'd put that on youtube

And before you suggest anything, Yes I already looked under the bust of Benjamin Franklin AND behind the red book that is slightly ajar on the bookshelf ...

Did you check the lefthand bottom drawer on the boss's desk? Look under the stack of pron with the revolver on top.

No my mom is OP and she'd pwn you while taunting you in L33T

Thanks so much for being not just communicative, but light hearted and fun.
These message boards really have needed a presence like yours for some time now, so thanks!
Hats off to you sir!

I'll make her sing in L33T.

Dude, I think we're off topic lol.

You obviously aren't looking hard enough...I would have looked INSIDE the bust of Ben.

Then again...we shouldn't be helping you at all since, if you did come to acquire it, we would all feel your wrath.

Maybe it's down to do a stealth launch of Vibora Bay? ;)

[Archived Post]

Rogue, No matter what is being discussed we are almost assured to be off-topic

and no CO Server Stability is not like "There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"

Oh Lord, please no... If they can't get something that's been on the PTS for weeks right, I'd hate to see what they did with something released blind.

Hey CyberRat, your aware your BIO link doesn't work right?

[Archived Post]

Well here is the thing.

In all my time working at cryptic I have only been able to find the diamond key and the club key. Sure I can get into the room with the shotgun on the wall, but the last time I removed that I almost became an indigofyre sandwhich.

Oh by the way, servers are back online!

You know he's a traitor right?

Sigg'd. LUVS me some RE references. Tell the costume crew to work up some more Resident Evil-ish parts!

Went to go let some friends know and got this

"The mail service is currently down."

Is it always a trade off?

Curious? How can you tell when someone is a gold farmer? Don't expect an answer if they are doing something that effect's the rest of players or games economy. Was thinking someone gets paid to do that? I guess the levelers have the fun job. Probably get paid no more then 50 cents an hour playing 16 hours a day or working commonidies, possibly going upside down now and then. Ruin it for them, flood it. Be careful what ya wish for i guess. " I wish i could get paid to play games all day " don't forget to state how much, how long and what? same goes when wishing you could work on them.

Please do I would like to read it.

Thanks Indigo and to the team (if it wasnt just you) for getting this up and running as fast as they did.

Now tell Stormy to answer his PM's, if you dont mind.

Also shove a word to the costume artists to get some bird heads in game. Please!

But did you check in the straight green book next to the ajar red book? After all the best place to hide something is in plain sight. The last place they'd expect you to look for a red button is inside a green book...

Not sure why but that comment made me so happy. Especially after the disappointment of the recent RE5 DLC. :(

By the way-trust me on this one-it might be wise just to wait for him to go get more rope. Yes, he's slow, but he'll be there for you.
