OH NOEZ! XL Nation is OFFLINE!

[simfan 11]

Today I was heading over to XL Nation to download some content, when the site said 'Site is Offline'. I tried again to check if it was a internet connection

problem, but it wasn't. Let's hope it gets fixed!

[simfan 11]

Oh wait, it's back online! YAY!!!!!

[aparrot7 82]

Yup, it does that all the time. Its not offline- its just too many people are using it at the same time. Spam the refresh button and you should get in

[Ocram's Razr 964]

Spamming the refresh button might help you but it exacerbates the problem. XL Nation is obviously growing more popular thanks to the paucity of competition -- and the high quality of the product.

Hey, Today it is actually OFFLINE and not the normal Drupal-message.

A message from hostmonster.com, does anybody have any info? thanks alot

[Preyfr60 1]

Do you feel lost too, br41ns70rm ? ^^

I hoped to see Hyperwolf on this site, but no luck yet...

[Dreian 0]

yep... i also feel like missing something! ))

Maybe we could create a fb page or twitter account in order to have a "rally point" in the future?

Well, i don't have FB or twitter, so keep me posted here please

Hope indead we see hyperworf or snick around, would fasten things up even more.

[snick25 384]

I'm around. I don't know what the problem is; your guess is as good as mine. I wouldn't worry about it though, give it time and HW will get it back up and running.

EDIT: I was also going to point out that there is also a thread on the FHI forums about the outage, however, checking back I found it has mysteriously disappeared...

Tis' a shame. So bored and nothing to do!

Still down....

[Destroyer128 2]

Site will be down for at least a week according to Hyperwolf. Check out the thread on the CitiesXL forum.

Thanks Destroyer, Great to hear the reason. now i can patiently wait and sleep at night

[Breizher 1]

Incredible ! Now it's the turn of the official site of Cities XL to be offline. SQL error ! Too much connections !

It's the XL Nation syndrome !

Knowing Focus Home Interactive their forum won't be up until Monday, if even then.

It might speed things up if people email Focus that their forum is down.

[Ocram's Razr 964]

I guess Cities XL is more popular than most thought. Maybe these forums here will see an uptick in activity because of this?

--Ocram

[snick25 384]

We'll see. CXL in general has seen a resurgence of activity recently. It's good to see the game, albeit heavily modded, finally get the good attention it deserves.

Done

[ReneXL 16]

Thanks Breizher! Let's all email Focus about the situ!

Btw, It's me Rene here!

I'm getting XLN withdrawal symptoms! We need a temporary chat for people to hang out! Despite that the XLN chat is hosted on other server/provider we can't access it because the link to it is on XLN frontpage and for the chat to work it also needs a XLN cookie to identify those who log to the chat.

Thanks God some news about XLN. I can see I am not the only one with the empty feeling in my chest person around... Thank you Destroyer for the info and the link of course since it is in reference to XLN now the official site is off line...huh? Well I am following suit and emailing Focus about it but nothing will feel my empty chest feeling until I click on XLN link and it opens.

Good Luck Hyperwolf, we need you back.

I suspect that the website has exceeded its bandwidth limitations...which most likely means that it won't be up again until someone pays up or they increase their bandwidth (which would cost more money to keep the site running).

This is speculation on my part but the message I get when I try to access it is similar to messages I've gotten in the past with certain sites when that's been the case.

edit: i tried to access the thread above but got the too-many connections error message...

I think its time to delete all of the locked threads that are meaningless. Not pay to increase the amount of junk the site can hold. Anyway I too hope that its back up soon. I have a bit of an update Id like to post already...

[ReneXL 16]

Hmm, an update? Sounds interesting..

[Seabass 0]

Does anyone feel like passing me the Realistic Highway mod? Seems I must have deleted my copy accidentally.

[soltangris 42]

I read that the problem is with the code, unfortunately. Hyperwolf is trying to optimize it, so the provider would let the site up again. Patience!

Latest news in case you missed it:

http://forum.citiesxl.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6147&start=30#p59066

So if you're wondering when to check back in, Friday is a good bet. My bet is that if not Friday, it'll be back up over the weekend sometime.

[Ohadi195 30]

Hey guys. got some spare time now so hope XL nation will come back as soon as.

miss ya all

[snick25 384]

Hey Ohadi, it's been a while! I look forward to see you and everyone else back at XLN tomorrow (hopefully).

[soltangris 42]

Guys , good news:

XL Nation is BACK! Check it out now!

[Ayberk Yarbaş 1]

XL Nation is off-line. I am bored of seeing this error.
