| DAoC Shrouded Isles Europe Delayed |
|
DAoC: Shrouded Isles was supposed to go live on the European servers today. Was. They encountered some heavy problems, as described in <a href="http://camelot-europe.goa.com/news/newsarticle.php3?id_article=796" target="_blank">this site update</a>:
<br><UL><i>Hello everyone,
<br>
<br>The process to update the servers for the coming of Shrouded Isles started this morning around 3am GMT and, as planned, the servers were shutdown around 7 am GMT.
<br>
<br>As we briefly explained yesterday, the installation of Shrouded Isles is not like a usual patch. Many software modifications are needed but with them come many network architecture and server modifications as well. Our plan, as published yesterday, was a long patch day, with servers being back up late in the afternoon…
<br>As you can imagine with the title of the news, we encountered a quite important problem.
<br>
<br>We were supposed to receive the last files needed for the installation of Shrouded Isles on the production servers at the beginning of this week. These files are compiled and distributed by the Mythic's teams but, since the beginning of the week, a heavy snow storm is striking the area of Washington (where Mythic's office is located), preventing many members of their team to go to work and among them, the ones taking care of the patches. We did not receive some of the key elements yet and the launching process of Shrouded Isles is therefore delayed.
<br>
<br>We are now facing two options :
<br>
<br>* First, we can follow the plan, hoping that Mythic will be able to send us the needed files this afternoon (around 3 pm GMT with the time zone difference). This would allow us to open the production servers with Shrouded Isles this evening.
<br>* The second option is to cancel the current procedure and switch the servers back to 1.54 today and wait for the missing files knowing that in this case, Shrouded will not be released today.
<br>
<br>We picked the first solution and decided to stick to the plan. Our teams are ready to work late in the night if needed to open the servers with Shrouded Isles and the patch 1.57.
<br>
<br>Of course, we will keep you informed throughout the day.</UL></i>Our thanks go out to the beloved Mark Konrad  for spotting this. |
