We are proud to announce the addition of a new game to the Azure Gaming Network! Welcome World of Warcraft, Blizzard's famous worldwide phenomenon with millions of players.

Azure Gaming: World of Warcraft

We have added Azure Gaming: World of Warcraft (from now on WoW or Azure WoW) and hope players will enjoy it. This brings us to finally fulfilling our purpose of being a gaming network. No longer are we just Lineage 2 with FPS servers.

Azure WoW will be ran by Nebi (Admin), KFL (Head Developer / Admin), and Kurapica (GM/Moderator). Our staff will work hard, along with help from L2 / FPS staff, to make a fun, stable, and successful server.

Join Azure WoW and help us beta test and fix the server.

Beta Information

The beta is 50x, with beta registration on the WoW page. Visit the Azure WoW page to get started.

Please join, download the client, and help us find bugs and fix them. We hope to go live with a 2x server in 1-2 months, once most things have been fixed.

Azure L2 Closing / Celes Delayed

We have decided that we will delay the launch of Celes until April 10th, 2010, and will focus on developing WoW instead. We hope you can understand our decision. We just don't have the staff to devote to everything at once

Aerith and Nanaki will have a Farewell Event to celebrate their long-lived, fun times as Azure L2. Please visit the Azure L2 page for more information.

Azure FPS Servers!

We are glad to announce the addition of EU servers to our FPS collection. We will be continually improving our Azure FPS collection, and we welcome you to visit the forums, jump ingame, and help make them a success. They are up for you to play on!


Thanks for all the support, and we wish the entire community a happy rest of April! Frag/Grind/Farm on!

P.S.: April Fool's Day to you! We will return the L2 servers to normal tomorrow. Everything else is NOT a joke. Enjoy WoW!

Network Maintenance

Sorry for the short notice, but we have an important maintenance on Tuesday, February 24. I will explain exactly what is going on below.

Changes

We are doing many changes during this maintenance.
  • Doing work on all our network hardware, which means downtime for the website and our L2 servers.
  • Adding 10k RPM Raptor drives to the L2 servers for the paging file (thanks to an awesome donator for those).
  • Moving all our servers into our own IP space, giving us more control and more IP addresses. We are sorry for the change, but we will make it as painless as possible.

Time of Maintenance

We estimate to begin the maintenance around 11 am, CDT (GMT -6) which is 18:00 CEDT (GMT +1).

Estimated Downtime

The estimated downtime is 2-4 hours.

In all honesty, this maintenance should only take an hour or two, but we need more time in case problems come up with the hardware changes or the IP changes.

We are sorry for having such a maintenance during a peak playing time, but we are limited due to the free time we have available. We hope you understand.

If something unforeseen happens, the servers may be down longer. We will keep you updated throughout the day with updates on the website (after we are done moving it). Check the "Quick News" up top and this topic for more information during that time.

Closing

All of these changes are needed so we can finally start expanding our network as we have always wanted. We have been held up many times due to our current situation (don't ask us to explain right now).

We will be launching our long-awaited FPS servers after this change, so look for those to show up later this week. We will do our best not to delay them any longer!

We've also got a surprise planned for the L2 community, but you will have to wait a bit longer before we announce that information. More details to come soon!


Thanks for your patience and understanding, and wish us well in getting this maintenance done with as little headache as possible

Sincerely,
Azure Gaming Network Staff

Update

Maintenance is just about finished now. We had some difficulties getting the new IP address range working, and some issues with our switch we just started renting, but everything else went fairly smoothly.

Just finished getting MySQL back online, and the game servers should be back up shortly.

The IP address for our L2 servers have changed, so please take note!

Old IP Addresses:
  • auth.azurel2.com - 67.202.101.2
  • aerith.azurel2.com - 67.202.101.3
  • nanaki.azurel2.com - 67.202.101.4

New IP Addresses:
  • auth.azurel2.com - 67.202.95.201
  • aerith.azurel2.com - 67.202.95.202
  • nanaki.azurel2.com - 67.202.95.203

If you have problems connecting, please try doing ipconfig /flushdns in Command Prompt. If this doesn't work, you *may* enter the IP address in your hosts file, but you will have problems in the future if we change IP addresses again. We recommend just waiting until it works by itself!

FPS Servers

We will be announcing the launch of our FPS servers very soon, so stay tuned. If the response is good, we will look into expanding it into Europe or adding new games.


Thanks for all the patience Enjoy the games again, now that we are back online

>> Web Server Back Online

Web Server Back Online


We had our website down for the past 3 days because of hardware problems with the web server. However, everything is back online now, and the broken hardware has been replaced. No more worries

What Happened?


Remember when Jason stole our hard drives? Well, one of our hard drives broke back then, and we sent it to the manufacturer to get it replaced. That made our RAID 10 array degraded, but we thought we'd be ok. Unfortunately, a second hard drive went bad 4 days ago, and we didn't have the RMA back until 2 days ago

We tried to restore the RAID, but it was impossible and not worth paying a professional company to attempt recovery. After trying to restore the RAID, we just wiped it and reinstalled the server. We had *almost* everything backed up safely, so no worries.

In the future, if we ever have another RAID issue, we will make sure to get the bad drive replaced immediately instead of waiting for an RMA. Much safer that way.

Was Anything Lost?


We only lost forum uploads (like avatars, album images, and attachments) and the Azure L2 Library. However, we may be able to get the Azure L2 Library back from Rikku (have to ask her if she has a copy). If not, we'll see about making a new one (when we have time).


Thanks for understanding. You may now commence browsing the forums since I'm sure you've missed them
