Extended for another 12 hours after they reach the 40 hour marker, and then will decide its Double Extended Server Shut Down weekend and wait to reopen servers Tuesday.
2019 Comicon. They set up a mini museum: https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-2...ng-legend-comic-con-museum-exhibit-recap-2019
On the exhibit it says, among other things, that, "Since the game was so popular, server reliability was a high priority for the developers." It is good to dream.
That is AWESOME! So was this an NT box? I heard they had so many disk drives going that they were afraid they'd have random frequent failures all the time...but it apparently worked out.
Huge thanks for posting that. And if a dev. or suit happens to read this, thank you for creating the exhibit.
apparently people had to sit with the servers to check on them wearing parkas when the game was new cuz they had to keep the rooms cool so the machines wouldn't die
I once sat in a freezing S250 military camper shell(ter) because we had a home/apartment sized air conditioner running in a closet sized space running one Sun computer and a bunch of other stuff.
I would totally love to have the art from each expansion framed on my walls. That Norrath map as a large wall-hanging would be great.
"UPDATE - We are extending the current downtime, this is unrelated to the server merge process as it is now complete. It is related to the normal live patch and as such has no current ETA while the team investigates the issues. I will update with more information as I have some" I am now hoping for Friday. Night all. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...er-downtime-tuesday-may-19th-10-00-am.266229/
