Better to get them over with now before Empire is released and the tidal-wave of new members arrives.

Yes it would be very annoying for the site to go down whenever the demo is finally released or when the game is. This shoud not last too long to mind.
Cold turkey, eh?:wall:
It'll be back by the morning, TWC is immortal.:yes:

Hey all you TWC refugees! Welcome to the .org and I hope you enjoy your stay.
The last thread of this nature got closed down due to the way the conversation progressed. If you keep this thread civil and respect one another, I have no problems with keeping it open. :yes:

TWC was always a nice way to relieve oneself of stress after a hard day's work.
On serious note: I wonder if this has something to do with all those alts that Gh!z has created ??
Yup it's down unfortunately :( :wall:
Hope it's back up soon since the demo is released on the 17th right? If TWCenter isn't open when the demo is released... the world will implode :oops:

You can't give us a hard time.
Those still posting at TWC are so because of difficult conditions.
Children unable to debate properly, Nationalist spouting out false claims, spammers etc etc.
These conditions makes the TWC poster that passes these test without getting an infraction and beat these groups down to a pulp, to be tough and well-trained.
We got high morale and won't rout and also blessed with a powerful charge and fire arrows.

"The Guild" skin is the default one, so he probably is using it. I personally despite the "The Guild" skin. I loved the old RTW skin and I use that some times. The "Sengoku", "Euro English", and "I-Bulletin" are all great alternatives. I think the main guild skin does not do as good a job at looking pub-y(I assume that's the intent), and could certainly use less square edges. :egypt:

lol, I will give you that. I generally find the Center a little too rough, which is why I mostly post here. I know that there are lots of good, serious, intelligent, and cleanmouthed posters on the Center, but there are also tons and tons of noobs constantly swearing and insulting people and not seriously debating at all, just insulting. When I am feeling kinda p*ss*ed though and I want to let off, that is when I go to the Center. :P It is nice to have both.

I have broadband, and I still use the Dial Up skin. I come from a usenet background though, which uses plain text, so I'm used to a minimalist GUI. That said, I'm also used to an interface with lots of user-defined functions, which vBulletin lacks, but I suppose that's the nature of web forums.

Easy solution for those of you who don't like what you see: Leave!
TWC...hmm I'm a member there, but it went through some stuff a few years back and I think I got myself banned for protesting some outrageous things the admins were doing.
IMO the layout of TWC is too confusing, the scheme just clashed and it was impossible to tell who is of what rank! I just saw all these maces and ranks that meant nothing to me.
Here its easy, member group is written, moderators are in green, admins in red. Creative Assembly members in purple. Easy!

Anyway, the ranks, the Curia and such are the reason I mainly like TWC. Not that this place is bad, I like this place too (I like TWC moderation a lot better though).
TWC...hmm I'm a member there, but it went through some stuff a few years back and I think I got myself banned for protesting some outrageous things the admins were doing.
Many got banned - myself included - for less than satisfactory reasons, but that TWC administration is nowhere near the current, I assure you. The guys who were 'battling' those guys became the new Administration.
Here its easy, member group is written, moderators are in green, admins in red. Creative Assembly members in purple. Easy!
The colors here are a bit hard to see (I have to search thoroughly to see the CA members).
But to TWC being down, I think this new server is doing more bad than good. I also heard Garb spent some of the money on a vacation, but y'know rumours. :dizzy2:

It's just because of the amount of spammy members, it's a very nice place despite that though.

Yep, I agree to an extent. It's much more tranquile here, more peaceful. One look in the Political Mudpit at TWC gives you a headache :dizzy2:. I also like the junior member thing the .Org has, it's good at nipping spam accounts in the bud. :yes:
I have a problem connecting to twcenter.
"Unable to connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ......"
Hehe ya this is Code_Knight from TWC, and I also can't connect to it. There are several possibilities, two of which are:
The website is down again
or
Sim and GED are updating the hosting server
site was down at least 5-6 times this week - if they just updating server, i think they would already finish...

Gaius, are you the PotW guy from TWCenter? :) (can't confirm myself since the site is down of course.. :()
Yeah, so far i'ts been a bumpy ride with the new server, but as posted before better now than when Empire is released.
for me personally, i dont care about Empire - yes, i will play it, but its still about month till it will be available, then about few months until it will be modable - until then i plan to continue working on some mods/campaigns etc... (and btw, i already preordered the game)
Hardly a month now.. 17-18 days left :)
And I think there'll be a SDK made available a couple of weeks after, since everyone is anxious to get modding and to download mods :)
i'm affraid same thing was said before - they told us M2TW will be easier to mod than RTW, and then they packed all files and didnt provided unpacker for 3-4 months... so i'm skeptical...
It is not commercially sensible for CA to encourage modding until they have realised the benefit of the sales bulge from the initial release of the game.
I would be surprised if they have changed the policy followed with RTW and M2TW. The time to encourage modding is when interest is beginning to ebb and potential customers are being tempted by rival games coming up for release.
I think that CA have learnt since M2:TW... they now know how big the modding community of M2:TW is - even why they included latest mod releases in the Kingdom's Launcher. - If they forbid all mods and modding that'll crush their future sales.
for any company current sales are more important than possible future sales...
So this is where TWC'ers go for refuge when its down.
actually i joined ORG long time ago when MTW was released and i was searching for some mods. in that time i was a lurker and i didnt posted until later. Then RTW came up, and i moved to TWC where i stayed till now because of some mods that have home there (like S.P.Q.R for RTW, or RR/RC SS6 for M2TW.) my current profile was registered in 2007,because i forgot about my old one...

I have no clue, we should search around the other refugees. I know a bunch of other people who have accounts here. You can always tell me since I've been on the team for a while. I think Pomps trusts me:P
@Aradan- too true. :yes:
Guess who!!!

Code, FC has a TWC account, he knows all of this:P
Good to see you too, let's go find Ponti!:beam:
where is that bastard who copied my name?
But you're not Allu X!
I see we are working hard to make the .Org as spammy as TWC... Even pulled an .Org admin in the thread!
Indeed, even you are contributing now. It's a joint TWC-Org Admin project to spammify the TW series forums.

egads, I haven't logged on to this account in over a long long time. Years it seems, since it was before I changed my name to Calvin over twc.
This kind of reminds me of the RTR forum episode that lead me to stay at TWC. Wonder if the .org will become home...
the org is boring me :/ Well done GED, well done.

Nice thread. :2thumbsup:
The server was not *scheduled* to go down, there was a technical issue; our technicians are working on it as we speak.
And maybe TWC members should stop spamming this thread so badly, lest we find it locked and barred soon.

There's already been a wave of deletion. The only reason this thread still stands is because I like you TWCers and I want you all to have a place to vent, hang out, and socialize while your site is on the fritz. I think you would do the same if our positions were reversed.
If that hospitality is abused, however, this and every other "is the twc down again?" thread from here on will be viewed as spam and deleted. And I really don't wanna go down that road. :no:

I guess it's to read my amazing shogun AAR naturally, in which you can visit the sword dojo to see it :clown:
wait, you dont want it to be online!?
They have changed to the new server, but obviously, all the kinks have not been ironed out yet.

Don't be to hard on CA apparently (well according the PC Gamer UK) the AI in Empire is and I quote 'A bastard on hard difficulty settings'.
Good to see this place has Comic Sans MS and Green. Looks like the Helios will be delayed for this month. BTW Hi to all TWC refuagees I just hope the .org fanboys don't mind us invading your space. :sweatdrop:

We actually have at least two issues here at once. Maybe more. Believe me this is more irritating for myself and Sim than it is for anyone else, as neither one of us foresaw these kinds of problems.
First, there seems to be an issue with kswapd and the Linux kernel. We are using Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/) and I can find numerous threads on this in their forums. Sim disabled the swap files a few days ago as trying to kill the process doesnt work, and performing a normal reboot locks up the entire OS requiring a hard reboot. I think he later renabled the swap files, but I havent asked him to be sure.
We also had a problem with usbcore locking up, which hopefully was fixed by disabling the USB ports via BIOS and blacklisting the processes from even starting in the first place. Friday afternoon/evening I went through all the BIOS options and disabled all the hardware we do not use. This includes serial/com/USB/second NIC, etc. After several reboots to make sure the system would come back up it seemed to be running fine. I checked it early Saturday morning and it was up and running with what I considered to be a normal load average.
I do not know what took the server down this time, it would not respond to a login shell, and going to the server and performing a hard boot doesnt work either. Currently I cannot even log into the machine even when standing at it. Something got a bit hosed up. Early tomorrow morning I will be going back and trying to boot to a live CD and figure out what happened. Worst case is I reinstall on the OS partition and reconfigure. The data is stored on a separate partition and should be intact.
The second problem actually is beyond our control. Sim ran a network map on our IP address and its showing some stuff it shouldnt show. Particularly there are Micrsoft NetBIOS and SQL ports responding, and we are not using Microsoft. So it seems to both of us that somehow our IP is not pointing at our machine. I will be talking to our host about that in the morning as well. I am too damn tired to go back there tonight.
The host actually has a core router replacement scheduled for March 2nd. I do not know the details on that other than they expect that there might be some network speed issues for 30-45 minutes while that is being replaced. I was notified of this when I installed the server. Its possible that the router they are replacing was already having some issues and they have gotten worse, I will get more details from their network engineer tomorrow.

The downtime Friday evening WAS announced in the Q & S. That was the last scheduled downtime. The current downtime was NOT scheduled, and is actually driving me nuts.
GED I program linux (as you've seen in my "Linux Thread") would you like some help?

Yeah sure.
Tell me why the server boots, shows a login prompt, then a black screen when you go to login.

Sorry to the folks promoting civil discussion, but due to requests by moderators this thread will be closed for a cool-down period.
Sorry again for the well behaving members, I suppose you might have to take your conversation to the soical groups for now.
Thank you for your co-operation.
:bow:
After further review this thread will remain closed permanently due to the abuse and continued spamming of the Entrance Hall and its posters.
Because of this: All further "Is it down?" threads will be regarded as spam and promptly deleted. Please use the Social group (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/group.php?groupid=65) set up by Code to ask the status of, and investigate why, TWC may be down. This was the second chance and it was sorely taken advantage of.
