    Update 20190109 17:20 CET

    Due to another mistake on our side the TS3 server has again been unreachable for about 11.5 hours. From 05:12 - 15:38 (09.01.2019). We sincerely apologize for that fail on our side and have fixed the issue causing this mishap.

    Technically interested?

    The technical reason was us running two separate instances of our TS3 server simultaneously. After the ISP went down (Vodafone) we were forced to migrate our TS3 server onto our core infrastructure at Hetzner Germany (uploading the files via slow 4G). The migration went well and we were back up running in less than an hour. As clients use a domain name to connect to our TS3 server we kept the ‘old’ TS3 server running at the old location/ISP with a message pointing towards the correct IP (just in case someones DNS (servers) cached our domain too long (ts.unitedworldminers.com)).

    This is where we failed: The ‘old’ Teamspeak server still used the same license as the Teamspeak server at the new location. Our license allows us to run one single instance of Teamspeak on one IP, not two. Teamspeak periodically checks if there are servers breaking with their licenses and stops all additional instances to avoid multi-using one license (which is completely legitimate of them to do!).

    This is what happens if your ISP goes down in the middle of the night and you start doing some quick and dirty workarounds, forgetting to remove your license from the old TS3 instance…

    All issues which began on the 12th of November 2017 have been resolved.

    The affected services are back online. The reason for this outage was a physical defect of an HDD as well as a simultaneous failure of an SSD in our server HV01.

    For the technical folks this is what the servers sata controller threw into the kernel log:

    this error has been thrown over and over again fatally crashing the controller in the end. We have resolved the issue with the help of Hetzner’s technicians which did replace the affected disks within a few hours. Great support as always!

    Hallo @Novus Spieler,
    es ist mal wieder Zeit für einen Server reset!
    Dieses Mal wird aber nur noch ein Server für euch zur Verfügung stehen da auf keinem der beiden Server auch nur die Hälfte der angedachten Spieler spielen. Am Freitag dem 28.04 wird gegen Mittag ein Server reseted und der andere wird gelöscht. Es wird dementsprechend ein Modpack update geben!
    Ich bemühe mich momentan euch die Maps der beiden Server zum Download bereitzustellen. Ich kann aber nichts versprechen, da die beiden Maps im Client sehr wahrscheinlich nicht Spielbar sind!

    Due to a technical fault in one of our root servers, a large part of our services went down, including the forums, our website as well as some of our Minecraft servers (Modern Millenaire, Novus and Pure Vanilla).

    We resolved the issue and apologize for the inconvenience.

    Yesterday (12.01.2017) we had a downtime of our forums from around 18:00 (11.01.2017) till 12:00 (12.01.2017) CET. Thanks to some of our members we have been noticed and got the forums back up.

    We are actively investigating in the cause of these downtimes as it has happened multiple times in the past few months. For this we are in contact with the developers of the forums software.

    Aside from that we hope you enjoy your stay and are excited for the upcoming updates / modpacks in the next few months!

    This graph shows the downtime:

    Due to a technical failure the forum has been rolled back by about 48 hours.

    We sincerely apologise for this and are working on a solution to avoid this in the future.

    Ach mist ;)
    Ich versuchs in Deutsch.
    Der Castor Server startet in der Zeit in der ich Spiele gefühlt alle 30-60minuten neu. Nicht weil der Server den Automatismus hat das zu tun sondern weil er crasht.

    Draconis läuft viel stabiler, klar weniger user und Fortschritt nicht so weit etc. kann alles eine Rolle spielen. Aber es gibt auch unterschiedliche Configs und das merkt man z.B. daran das meine Freunde von Castor auf Castor nicht in meine Chests schauen können. Meine Freunde in Draconis aber in meine Chests auf Draconis schauen können. Ich denke der Server hat andere Einstellungen die eventuell besser sind.

    Besteht eventuell die Möglichkeit die Draconis Einstellungen nach auch auf Castor anzupassen?
    Kann natürlich auch ein Fehler sein das jetzt wieder lauffähige System anzufassen ;) aber ich denke das macht ihr so oder so ;)
