Xlink (System Link Online Play) Current Down - Team Xlink Lives! |
Tuesday October 11th, 2005
Sadly, after three solid years of selfless dedication, TD has officially resigned as the active head of Team Xlink. Around the same time as TD's announcement, our core authentication and web server went offline. When it rains, it pours. We had presumed this systems failure was due to a networking issue that would be fixed quickly. That was not the case. We now know that the server failure was due to a spam malware attack at the data centre. Fortunately, our user database and web files were untouched but getting this data off the compromised server has proved to be a tedious undertaking -- four days later, we have managed to restore our game tunneling services. Yes, you can now play on Kai again!
The combination of TheDaddy's resignation and the failure of our core server has led many to speculate that the Team Xlink project has come to an end. Albeit, the timing was terrible, however Team Xlink is very much alive. As, TD's explains it, "Kai is like a rugby ball. You need to pass it every now and then [...] and you can only pass it back to some guy on your team." The game, my friends, is still very much in play and Team Xlink is in charge of the field. TD tossed me the ball and I am running with it.
Current Developments:
Back in the game...
* Kai is up and I will be contacting remaining Orbital sponsors shortly to further expand the network
* we expect to have the rest of our web files in the next day or so and the regular site will be back up
Looking into the future...
* work on Evo8 is maturing rapidly and we expect a public release in the not too distant future
* we are currently implementing failover mechanisms to insure any future outages will be brief/unnoticeable
* in the upcoming weeks, we will be announcing new web-based functionality for greater control over your gaming experience (creating tournaments, organizing clan scrimmages, and game planning)
In the know...
* we will be adding a Member's Newsletter to let users know about any scheduled maintenance, upcoming events, and new developments
* a new ticketing system will be implemented to allow members immediate and organized access to moderator assistance and documentation.
* a developer journal will soon be added to help co-ordinate projects as well as give the members an insider's peek at what is currently in the works
Lastly, thank you everyone for your patience during this past four days. Your support and enthusiasm means alot to us!
