Not working for anyone?

A lot of people that were afk last night, got dropped off from server instability. The server stayed online, as someone reported their pets were where they left them, yet the server dropped everyone's connections for some time.

This was reported in the community discord. I was way asleep when it was going on and wasn't logged in when it happened either.

The server instability has kept people logging back in at times, for almost an hour(so far), and has done this at least a few times.
I have heard you are working on correcting this soon. Thank you. And I hope everything goes smooth.

Added/edited:
Not trying to beat the dead horse, but a friend of mine stopped playing because of the lag. Not sure if anyone else has done the same. It can be frustrating at times. I know your working on it, but just wanted to add this to give you the full scope. Thanks.

This is great news(except the postal delay). Thank you for the transparency on the situation.

Wow, you got 15 years out of these hard drives, you got your moneys worth. What brand are they? WD, Seagate, etc? Just curious.
I usually buy WD for Spinners and Samsung for SSD. Other than the hickup they had with the 980 pros, I think they have the highest or one of the higher reliability ratings. Unless its changed since last time I looked.

Everyone hates seeing those postal delays, and that is completely understandable. It is becoming more common it seems, especially with amazon orders. I am away from home for another month, staying on the side of the mountain, and any orders I do takes an extra 2 days. But at home in suburbia, it still gets delayed every once in a while too. Its likely it will come by Monday I would suspect/hope.

We are all here as your biggest fans to the new future of Faldon, and some of us want to help it be a success. Maybe we can talk further into this sometime in the near future. I would like to see what direction you would like to take it, and help where I can.

Hitachi! Wow! Yeah, SSD's 15 years ago were probably garbage, just new tech and at that time, modern beta testing. It really started getting good 5-10 years ago. More like when the Samsung 870s were released(if you want to look that up). Now most are solid from decent brands, but sometimes still issues here and there, like everything else.

Gotta love that 1 year and 1 day failure. It could have been planned failure lol. It was probably less traceable back then. I don't know much about Maxtor, but I haven't heard of them if they are a brand. They are long gone now. Sounds like a cheap Chinese made fuel pump I was pressured into buying. I wont do that again. It was a year and a month or so, and dead.

Good to know Raid 1, and WD black was probably the right choice. Could even upgrade with similar current ones, and still be good how things are now. With my experience, its good to replace hard drives around 5 years. You can get further with Raid setup, but it also depends how important the data is.

Thanks for the insight on everything. It is cool to hear the hardware side of stuff, and awesome to hear that your server has definitely served you well! : )

It's nice, but as long as my cases have drive bays, I gotta lug my 8tb raid over to the new build.  It's never been touched in the 5 years since I built this machine, but you never know...
