Planet Baen: Web Game for free eBooks - Page 57

I'm waiting for the projects for level 18. I'm looking forward to 18 because I put the level 18 cores (Los Quesos and Rat Land) on quick surge spots

while they still behaved as if they weren't cores (got to surge just the food and bucks-bit of them too, several times

). They're still on the quick surge spots, surrounded by Fertility Clinics, but Los Quesos only have 4 spots near it so I can't surge that one... The fifth spot is the Rat Land, surrounded by 7 Fertility clinics, so it yields 200K pop a surge. Pop gifts not needed

especially as it is on a functioning quick surge spot after all

I can only play in the evening for two cycles, and normaly this is fine with me. But at the moment, there goes nothing. So I got now one cycle around in two hours, and I did not level up because it is so tiredsome. I am going to bed, in hope it will be better tomorrow, maybe.

It appears to be fixed, according to the bar forum, and I just managed to rescue my freeholds in a very short time. It seems quicker now than it has ever been.

I fear that you may have spoken to soon. Back to slow by 0900 am e.d.t.

And now down, for migration to a new server.

mnfe · 07-03-2012, 01:39 PM

I hope I don't lose all my surge points....I had just levelled before it went down and I had over 200 points. Time enough for a new cycle to reset. *sigh*

I've never been able to log into the forum. So could someone post news about what's going on here as well?

Anyone know how long the migration is supposed to last?

Here's the announcement from Baen's bar:

If it goes down for a few days, it will be until Bob Kruger returns from vacation and can get under the hood, which is this weekend -- so that definitely includes the 4th.

We are going to attempt to migrate the game to a new server configuration today, and the game will be down for a while. Hopefully, all goes well. If not, we may be out of service for a few days.

Tony D.

If it does go down "for a few days", can you make sure it doesn't come back up until after July 4, so we can have a holiday (and not spend 2 hrs each surge trying to keep things going?)

Thanks! Appreciate it.

Hope it's not down too long. I feel weird when I check in every four hours and it's not there.

bgalbrecht · 07-03-2012, 07:23 PM

It looks to be live again and the next cycle will start in 1 hour, 45 minutes (around 8:05 PM CDT/ 1:05 Zulu time). I think this is about the same time it was rolling over yesterday, so they must have been down some multiple of 4 hours.

bgalbrecht · 07-03-2012, 08:39 PM

And it's down again.

Just as a heads up, it likely will go back down in a bit. We haven't made the switch over to a new config yet.

bgalbrecht · 07-04-2012, 02:26 PM

It's back up again, and it will be starting a new cycle about the time I finish this posting. However, nothing updated at the end of the cycle.

mnfe · 07-04-2012, 02:34 PM

It's up for me, and I caught it before a cycle ended so got to use all of my points. Unfortunately, when the cycle turned over, nothing happened other than the timer counting down from 4 hours. No restock on surge points, no recharge of assets, and no money earned. So something is still off, I think.

DuskyRose · 07-04-2012, 06:21 PM

I saw it just minutes before the first cycle, but like mnfe nothing happened when it rolled over.

I've been keeping an eye on it all afternoon, and a few minutes ago saw I had 16 minutes left. I leave and come back and now it's 2 hours, 2 minutes! Bummer. I've been waiting on the rollover so I can get my next book, so have been watching closely.

Guess we're in some kind of holding pattern now?
