A power outage knocked our servers offline this morning and it's taking longer than we'd hoped to get them back online again. Normally I'd post about such issues no the pathfinderonline.com forums, but the web site is down along with the game servers, so I'll post here for now in case anyone comes looking here for status updates.
Cole made significant progress getting most of the game servers running and talking to each other, but we've still got issues blocking the web site and authentication from functioning properly. We've still got a few more things to try in hopes of kicking them back into gear, but they may require more significant repairs before they can be brought back online. I'll post more updates here tomorrow.
It looks like some of our physical servers were rendered inoperable during the power outage, though we're still in the process of figuring out exactly which ones aren't coming back up and seeing if there's something reasonably quick we can do to get them running again. We're making a last ditch-effort to get as many of them working today as we can. For any that we can't get running, the next step is to repurpose some of the physical servers used by Zog, which will take a fair amount of work for the web site in particular. It's still possible we'll get lucky and be able to get things running soon, but there's a good chance we're looking at multiple days of work before everything's up and running again. I'll post more updates as we get a clearer picture of the work involved.
Not sure how stable it is yet, but the website is back up and allowing logins. That also means the Patcher can get the EULA and therefore lets you move on to launching the game. However, the game servers aren't online at the moment. Cole was able to get those running for the most part yesterday, but there were a lot of map servers missing and it wasn't possible to log in at the time, so we shut them back down for now. Hopefully we can get them back up soon, though we may need to move those map servers to a different physical server first.
The game servers are up and it looks like all the maps came up too. Huzzah!
