I know some network stuff.. they have internal LAN connected to their Account Authentication server and repository servers where our account data resides.. but after Authentication is done our data is directed to us thru multiple application servers(if there is many) who acts as an active game map in which we play around.

As far as i can guess, becoz of vast log in and hunting/partying/quests at the same time by almost all the users the application servers are stuck and cant deliver the data .. its simply a matter of serverload, processing speed and other hardwares. GMs cant solve this becoz it would take major hardware improvements/upgrades of the server. nothing to do with bandwidth. coz all the application servers will have its own dedicated bandwidth to serve. so i can hope to stay late tonite to wait for maximum users to log off and then do all my super xp events..

SO MAGES PLZ STAY AWAKE TO TAKE ME TO C3.. LMAO

If that would've been the case, a simple network reboot would've done the job. I doubt that A3 doesn't have a 24 hr network management team, as the game runs 24 x 7.

This is quite irritating after the fact that they require a few hours every week for "upgrades"...

I just started playing like 2 days ago, at level 15 atm and as i learn new things, am very enthusiastic abt having them put to the game... but alas this downtime is irritating me off!

Sify server... what else do you expect!

Duh...

technically speaking.. network reboot and server reboot is not the same thing.. server reboot might take upto 12 hours to complete depending on resources.. more or less.. its not only a domain controller and a few hosts that make this vast game to run.. its a whole database instances, application servers etc are all there.. that would definitely take time.. i am not sure how many different servers are there in this system landscape

At this instance I doubt all servers require rebooting... The only server which needs a reboot will be the one that has stopped relaying data...

However, a reboot is just a possible solution. The problem causing this might just be entirely different... A technical glitch, a game code bug or anything of that sort!

WTF is wrong wit this fckin server...xp event but cant see any chars to play it...fck them fck them all..._l_ gms guides who ever related to management...

A3 is a relatively simple game that way. Check out ragezone.com for further info.

The reason why we're having this issue is because of a software glitch. The authentication servers are obviously not passing on the account info to the game-server. Therefore, post authorization, the game server does not know who we are, so returns a blank (empty) record.

The server running A3india would not require a 12-hour reboot at all. It's just that the SQL server needs a reload. 5 mins, give or take a few!

Ideally, for a game that runs 24/7, GM's should patrol the game 24/7! There ought to be service at all times of active gameplay and Sify is certainly not keeping up to its passive duties and responsibilities.

It's sad!! No wonder then, that it will start making huge losses for Sify in the long run. People will quit A3india and go to private or other official servers to escape the unreliability and lack of service commitment from Sify's side.

All said and done, I resent this whole affair bitterly! Way to go Sify!

//Update: Check this error that occured around the 11'th of Feb, 2007.

GM's should have a patroling team on server 24/7 ===

Sad they don't do it and we face problems like this
