Blitz armageddon failure - server closure

Post by **DrGTO** » Jan 20th 2006 20:36

My deepest apologies.

I can understand that many of you are upset righ now.
We have decided to shut down Blitz server for now so we can take a close look on what has happened.

To give us all a break, Blitz server will be down for: - at least the next 12 hours -

We will make an announcement around 9 am tomorrow, explaining the next steps.
E.g.: When we want to bring the server online again and to what moment in machine-time there will be a roll back.

I am really sorry.

The bug has been found.

We are currently discussing the procedure of the rollback.
We plan to re-open Blitz Server at

22nd January 3 pm Server Time.

This might give everybody the chance to be prepared.
Detailed information will be posted as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Analysing the situation and the database we decided to delay the reopening of Blitz server.
There has to be done quite some data manipulation to restore Blitz server as accurate as possible.

There will be NO restart on sunday.

We will release an announcement at least 24 hours before restart.
