Before asking if the server is online

Hello,

 

I noticed a lot of "Is the server up?" and "Is the server down?" in the shoutbox. I'm not even sure why I'm writing this right now, but it's just a little something that bothers me. I hope that in the future there will be some tool on the forum to see the server status. There's a very simple answer for it, and it might seem rude, but please, Check for yourself, it is much faster and efficient than asking it in the shoutbox.

 

I can understand confusion if people can't connect but others can, so I'll try my best to explain a few situations.

 

 

0.5 The server status

There is now a handy tool that shows the server status. It can be found under Portal.

 

 

1. The loading screen.

If this is the screen you are getting, this means that the server is online and you are loading the map. If you seem to be stuck on here, please just let it load for a few minutes. If after a while (Say 5 minutes), it still doesn't load, feel free to restart your client. Do not restart because the circle stopped spinning, this means it's at the final loading stage.

Server status: Online

 

2. "The server seems to be down"

Not much to say here, other than that the server seems to be down. This doesn't mean you can't reach the server, this means the servers are actually down.

Server status: Down.

 

3. Version outdated / "If you are reading this"

This screen means you are either using an outdated version (I reinstalled with the old client and got this message), or something went wrong during installation. Uninstall your version and get the new installer from either here or here. Once that is done, try again with the new version.

Take note that the people who give a "damn" to the forums, will continue to ask that, even if they see it on the frontpage or pinned. So, it's better if they add a "mute" function on the shoutbox, for the people to stop spamming about that. Just a warning.
