Quark Games forums

I don't think resource or truce should be an issue, were all in the same boat! The only ones who are affected are gold spenders and quark, lets just hope for a speedy recovery and some compensation for lost que and boosters.

Orlor allready stated they would extend "queue extender", "resource boost", etc. That is time limited.

I work in ICT too and know how the best plans for keeping a bunch of servers up and running can sometimes go haywire. I have seen redundant databases go down because a fault propagated to the fallback server(s). It took them over a day to restore everything to a working situation and another day to get the failover back up too.
Sometimes these thing take time due to the volume of the data. :-(

Excuses excuses, just sort it out ppl, I don't care what the issue is just fix it, the last time it went down you think you ppl would have addressed it.

I trink that all this crying for the server shortage is just unfair as part of a VALORIAN... I mean they're trying to make the game better... ( now lets hope that it turns out better ) and lets just be patient .... The game will come back

If the servers are down due to a technical procedure, planned, I think the minimum would have been to alert VALORIANS...
Following the link Orlor gave us, I'm not thinking they're trying to make the game better but to make the game work again!

And the truce is a good idea for planned server shutdown, as in EmpireCraft, we used each server maintenance to launch at our ennemies in order them not being able to defend ;-P

This really is big fall for valor plenty of users will be crossed and might loose hell lot cities and will definitely not come back on valor they must pay a heavy price for this...

What exactly has happened? Im just a kid u know and i cant understand WHY EXACTLY VALOR IS DOWN.. Thanks for any explanation and sorry for my crappy english.. Hope they fix it soon..

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fellow nerd!

I can't really imagine a situation that will require nearly a day to recover from. I'm in the online gambling and believe me without a disaster recovery plan inside the primary data center (or the cloud, for example Amazon EC2, Rackspace etc.) and off-site then better do not start doing business at all. Looking at the open positions atm. Quark needs a Linux/UNIX administrator with knowledge in Redis/MySQL. This combination of technologies is kind of risky if the power goes suddenly down: Redis is in-RAM key-value storage with offloading to MySQL database. So now what I wonder is if Quark admins managed to recover any lost information or we'll just start from a very recent backup point.

Anyway this downtime ruined my trust in Valor and I'm considering to charge back all payments I recently made to them if no adequate compenstation is offered. Bottomline: One can live without Valor, but Valor can't live without one's money.

Screw truce.

Its a game folks, frankly if they can they should simply restart the game from dark time. No additional Resources, no nothing, just as if it never happened.
