Part of the message I received

Sadly, we are indeed having some stability troubles with your machine.
Our admins are still working on a longer term solution to the problem. If
you like, you can choose to move to a new machine.

I'll have the site moved to another machine but no clue how long that will take, could be anywhere from a few hours to a few days
Last time it went through within half a day

You've requested to be moved to a different server. Looks like you're number 6 in line.

the turns were in the negative as people have posted. which means the automatic turn script is not active and people dont get kuwal into the open

after it's running again, i'll do my usual thing and the kuwal will be in the bank

Working good for me as well. No hits and all funds placed in the bank. Thanks Admins. Sorry your having such a hassle with things.

Take your time I'm sure we all will understand if it takes you a little while to get things stable on some new server Smile

Thanks for all you do.

Hey I wash all responsibility from this issue. It's the host who had a crappy setup. And the server hasn't moved yet, it's still the same we've been on for the last year or so.
All I did and could do was check and double check none of my scripts were running in some infinite loops and hence getting shut down by my host all the time, which was not the case.

the site has been moved to another server, the issue is now that the internet has to "find" it again so that it knows where in the world it should direct you to when you type in the AW address

I've disabled the turn script until then

I hope you take into account the people who had protection and couldn't bank this evening
because the server was down (me included).

by Nomad Sun Feb 06, 2011 9:16 pm

Any kind of an ETA or still unknown?

(Getting same message Nomad is. Guess its game wide for now after reading your message Admins)

Hey Admins I know how it is Smile

Don't forget I run stuff on servers too. It's not always something we can fix. I completely understand. Just hope all the others here understand that no matter how much you want to fix the problem its actually not in your hands that you have done all you can.

Not sure what specs you need server wise but I know I good host with VERY little downtime. If you wish you more then welcome to MSN I'll give you the details and stuff there Smile

All you Gamers out there Smile

Just be patient. I know Admins, must be ready to pull his hair out by now.

by Admin Sun Feb 06, 2011 10:56 pm

Update:

The website is up, but apparently the host forgot to actually move all the files to the new server (or maybe it's still in progress, i'm not sure, I received a mail 5 hours ago that the move went through successfully)

I have access to the database though again and I have banked half of everyone's kuwal (that coupled with the fact that the turns haven't been ticking for half a day anyway should mean that no one will get farmed once the game is up again)

by Nomad Sun Feb 06, 2011 11:55 pm

but the game is still not up I assume?

I get no messages, just blank screen

In short: Blank screen is what you should see, however it also means that you are actually able to "open" the site.

Basically "the game" is made up of 3 important parts

Access to the website (the part where you type in the internet address into your browser and your browser will know where to go and which files to open) <= works now, and has been the actual issue so far

Database (this is where the data about users, stats, ranks, attacks, alliances, etc. is saved) <= works

The code itself (base.php, etc. the part where the code tells what numbers to take from the database and display them, or what to do if you want to attack someone) <= missing (i'm working on uploading them again, but if the host would actually move them from the previous server onto the new one, which should have happened but didn't for some random reason, then it wouldn't take an hour or two but only a minute or two)
