June 12, 2002 News Story: Prexus Server Crashes Entirely
Last night at about 1:00 in the morning Prexus had a severe breakdown.
Our Operations team has been working to get it restored and back into
service. Our hope is that we'll have it back up and running some time
this evening.
That's the bad news. The worse news is that we will have to recreate
all of the characters on the server from backups that are perhaps more
than 24 hours old. Anything those characters have earned in the last
day or so will be lost. Unfortunately, we will not be able to restore
items or experience lost to the roll back.
There is some potential good news, though. If you have deleted a
character in the last year or so, that character may return. So if you
see a character that you deleted a few months ago on your character
select screen, that's why.
Important Note: The restoration of these characters may leave you with more
than eight characters on Prexus. In cases like this, the character
select screen will list your characters in alphabetical order, and only
show you the first eight of those characters. This may make some of
your characters appear to be missing. They are not missing. All you
need to do is delete one or more of the visible characters in order to
see the ones that are not shown.
We are extremely sorry that this has happened. We are doing everything
we can to restore the server.
