Server Problems, Post Here!

Ok, i'm in again for now. Did not do anything actually..its just working again.. ooh well

Good to hear! Usually when the problem isn't on your end, waiting a little bit is enough for the problem to get fixed.

Undersea cables can go out or be unplugged for maintenance. With satellite you can get operator issues if their control center goes down etc, and any weather that creates lots of ions (severe, usually) can cause interference and signal degradation. In terms of landlines, well any number of things could affect landlines, from someone in your neighborhood over-using the bandwidth or some construction equipment breaking a cable to your provider working in the central office that you connect to. The physical internet is gigantic, in fact it's the largest physically interconnected thing on earth. The fact that it's usually mostly working most of the time is pretty amazing.

Can't seem to connect to smp3 I get an error message i can connect to every other one *wonders who broke smp3 or if its just a me problem haha* I'm getting a "Could not connect to default or back up server"

Also having problems with SMP3 and SMP3's livemap not connecting

weird smp2 is down now also

I was on SMP7. Got some kind of error and got disconnected, Cannot reconnect. Live map still works

Server timed out, and cannot reconnect on smp3 also.

weird.... cause when i type /who smp3 it shows srhoel on the list... so are people not really on or were u able to reconnect?

I can reproduce problems on SMP1, SMP2 and SMP3. I can connect to Utopia and SMP4 seems also safe. Haven't tried any more due to time restrictions. This is the error you get when you try to connect either directly (direct connect to 'smp2.emc.gs' for example) or in-game (/smp2):



Hope this can help.

(edit)

They most likely timed out so the system still seems to think they're connected. You can see the same when checking the server overview page.

Of course it is also possible that these problems only show when you're trying to connect, but not if you're already connected. Then the players are perfectly fine as long as they don't switch servers. Scratch this theory, srhoel already mentioned this not to be true.

It just timed out w/ me on, haven't been on in like 15 minutes .

I am only able to connect to utopia no other smp works for me....

I just heard from a staff member that EMC has network outages and it's being worked on. Smp1-3 seem to be affected.

All done. Move along, move along.

Appears to be working again indeed!

I was wondering why so few players were logged in! Mystery solved it seems...

Entire server just crashed, I think....

SMP3 is doing the "Can not connect to a default or fallback server" thingy again

I was on smp5 and it suddenly dropped connection. Can't reconnect.
