SO many tortures...yet some we can never accompish...

 

Not until we genetically engineer Rancors, Sarlaacs, Jabbas, etc. Then vengeance shall be ours!!! I think the torturing should be left to us Sith...

I hope you weren't too far in modding the SSD, B-Wing, or TIE Interceptor....

[Juggernaut1985]

Didn't you read that topic, it was DMUK's april fools joke.

[Foshjedi2004]

Well this is our new site, LoW Site V3 and it looks fantastic thanks to our new member Mawk who graduated from Full Sail and will be helping us with skinning and other projects to be shown later. Before I show the goods, yes it was all a joke, the "hacker" was fake and we were not hacked, it was a poor april fools joke. But you guys want to see the goods so we'll get to it.

 

First, as you know, the first release of Legacy of War will go from Eo 5 to the end of the Cloned Emperor. You also probably know that just after Endor the Ssui-Ruuvi attack Bakura so here are the Ssui-Ruuvi mini-faction for camapign.

http://legacy.gamemod.net/images/renders/Battle_Cruiserthumb.jpg      http://legacy.gamemod.net/images/renders/picketthumb.jpg

 

The Ssi-Ruuvi mini-faction. The Ssi-Ruuvi Sh'ner-Class Assault Carrier, the Ssi-Ruuvi Swarm-Class Battle Droid, the Ssi-Ruuvi Shree-Class Battle Cruiser, and the Ssi-Ruuvi Fw'Sen-Class Picket Ship. All 4 ships comprised the invasion force that invaded Bakura.

 

This is just the first of a few Updates in April so stay tuned.

[Mikan Cyclone]

The second it comes out, I'm going to hack it so I can play as the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium.  If only their was a way of making it so you can entench beings in battle to make more units....

 

Anyway, AWESOMLY LEET.

[Stellar_Magic]

Simple... infinite respawn on Ssi-Ruuvi Carriers.  ;D

[Foshjedi2004]

OUCH  Maybe Infinate Respawn on Fighters.....

[Foshjedi2004]

At least I don't have a load of work to do here....  Actually...Yes I do...

 

Update time...

 

Sorry guys, no models today. Just a small Update to show where we are .Up until now Legacy of War has basically been the mod showing all the pretty Pictures and leaving out the fat of the Mod, ie the coding aspect. This is the first stage to remedy that.

 

At the moment our Coders are busy working on a number of thing. Shipyards, so that the Battle stations are returned to their Namesakes a souped up platform covered with Weapons. Leading to an integration of 4 different Stages into the Shipyards plus the ability to construct Golan Platforms at certain planets like Mon Calamari, Coruscant, Kuat and Bilbringi for additional defense.

 

What does this mean? It means a more epic setting where the battles for "shipyard" planets and other important planets will be much more sought after but also well defended should the defender invest in his defenses. Bring a large fleet.

 

Our coders are also working on how to make Sectors and Systems. From initial tests our coders have found that it may well be possible to battle in systems and sectors leading to a whole new scale for the game. While NOT a for-sure thing we're looking into the possibility.

 

We're currently designing maps as well and getting them concepted out so when the editor comes we will be in a good position to begin them instead of running around with our heads cut off.

 

Also we would like to introduce a number of new members of Staff to Legacy of War. Coders: Mikan Cyclone, Ali-Sama and moda, who some of you may remember from the old RTS Galactic Battlegrounds.

 

In addition our Skinner FormulaRedline. who some of you may remember is responsible for the Victory Mod, has agreed to transfer to the coding department allowing our Modelers to get some more work completed.

 

Legacy of War is slowing down in terms of releases due to real life, DK_Viceroy and Fosh have exams and others are back at school so cannot do as much work as they once did.

 

There is a new model of the Juggernaut I will post next week. Have a good weekend and may the Force be with us.

 

Hi Guys.

 

Well there is an announcement that needs to be made.

 

For the next few Months Juggernaut1985 will be in an advisory status in Legacy of War.  Leaving Me to take over command and maintain this Mod's Momentum.

 

First things First.  I'd like to put out a call to Skinners:

Legacy of War are looking for Skinners.  You all know of Skinman.  We are looking for more skinners of his quality to really get this mod rolling.  With Mod tools just around the corner (Before E3 if rumors are to be believed) we would like to offer a position to Skinners who can Texture and then Normal and UV Map skins.

 

Here are a few more of Skinman's Wonderous Works...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/Foshjedi2004/SHOW4_1.jpghttp://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/Foshjedi2004/SHOW5_1.jpg

 

These are the Types of skins we would like to see made by our applicants.

 

If you could PM or Email me on the Legacy of War Forums that would be great.

 

Thanks Very Much and May the Force Be With You All.

Today is a new day.  And we face a New Mod.

Legacy of War has gone through a major upheaval Recently.

First thing...The Sad news

 

Juggernaut1985 has now officially left the Mod.  He will remain on the forums to be a thorn in my side and to post silly comments.  What will he think of next??

 

Second...I would like to announce that Elron is now Co-leader of Legacy of War.  He is our Mapping Lead and is going to be taking over some of the Admin roles for the mod when I am busy with Revision for My Finals.  He Previously worked In the Gaming industry itself and brings a wealth of Knowledge on how best to do the mod....

 

Thirdly...I have a Personal Announcement to make.  I have been Made Admin at both the Petroglyph Fans Forums and EAWfiles.  Woohoo for me.

Next on the Agenda is Mod News...And what news We have....

 

LEGACY OF WAR MOD RELEASE!

 

I have plans for a Small Mod Release that all future LoW modding will be based upon.  It will include some really cool work that Cy Raren (Mikan Cyclone) and others have worked on.  So now when you look at the Space Stations they are Armored Behemoths supported by Massive Golan Space Defence Platforms.  We have been able to Implement Shipyards.  Yes People SHIPYARDS.  Instead of Limiting your Construction Each level can Build at a specific Rate so a Lvl 1 Shipyard builds ISDs Really Slowly...  Lvl 5 builds them a lot quicker.  Imagine massive Constructions around the Space Map.  Should be A lot of Fun to battle through.

 

We have another piece of news Pertaining to the Mod.  You all know of Skinman.  He is the wizard that did the work on the TIE Fighters and Yoda.

Alas noone has heard from him in at least a month, we can only assume that he has abandoned the mod and Left for regions Unknown.  Same with Mawk, the web designer who did the new Site.

 

So We are going into a Recruitment Drive for Staff.  Especially any Skinners Who can UVW map Skins onto models.  We would also ask for any modelers in the community to come forth.

 

Final Bit of News is about the EAW Community:

 

Recently [LEC]Rogue Posted something on the LEC forums.  It was pertaining to Tools.  In Fact it only mentioned the Mapping Editor.  Many mods are considering a Plan of Action.  I'd like to say that Even I had a brief moment in which I thought about abandoning the Community.

 

But As I said in another News Post

NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!

 

The Tools ARE coming.  maybe not for a little while but Rome Wasn't built in a Day!  Like all good things they come to those who wait.  So that is precisely what we will do.  We will code everything we can and test it out using Placeholders while the tools are being worked upon.

 

And the LAST LAST bit from Me.

 

I'd like to Welcome the new Petroglyph Community rep to the EAW Community, Kevin Yu AKA SAGEKING.  He knows his stuff about RTS Games and will be a welcome addition to the Members of the Community.

Well thats it from me

 

Good Luck to everyone As We move into this...The NEW LEGACY OF WAR!!!

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH US ALL!

 

Its Scaling....LOW STYLE!!!

 

 

:rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  B)  B)  B)  B)       

 

http://legacy.gamemod.net/images/renders/i...%20for%20ya.jpg

 

We have entered a New LEGACY OF WAR, Legacy of War are proud to announce that Steiner's Mod.  One of the Early EAW Mods is to join us.

 

This news not only bolsters our complement of Coders but also our overall Mod Staff.  There is a little bit more information to be sorted out but this news means that Legacy Of War will be released in not only ENGLISH but In GERMAN too!!

 

Here is a sneak peak at our Version of Scaling....The ISDs are 1.6Km long, SSD 11x the ISD and the Sovereign is a Massive 1.5 times the SSD!!!

 

http://legacy.gamemod.net/images/renders/Scalethumb.jpg

 

You may have seen the New EAW Expansion Pack: Forces of Corruption.  We are interested how they can have Vader and Jabba Alive and Dead at the same time seeing as the Eclipse wasn't comminsioned till 8 years after the Battle of Endor.

 

However, The Essential Chronology says that "she was built at Kuat and only moved to Byss four and a half years after the Battle of Endor, when she was stolen in a partially-completed state by Lira Wessex and her design-team"...This could be the basis for the Xpack....Or at least the campaign....I still wonder how the Executor and DS2 will fit in.  Maybe there will be 3 campaigns spanning from Yavin to Dark Empire??

 

Anyhow...Just so you know.  Legacy of War's Eclipse is better!! 

 

http://legacy.gamemod.net/images/renders/Thumb.jpg                                              http://legacy.gamemod.net/images/renders/ESDthumb2.jpg

 

Another BEAUTIFUL Job by Skinman, he has not abandoned us as I intially thought.  Lord Skinman has risen and will begin working soon....

 

Legacy of War's Post E3 Trailer will be released next Week!!

 

It is going to be kick ass!!

 

May the Force be with all of the LoW Fans, Members and Staff....

 

Note we still are looking for some more Modellers and Skinners who can UVW map as well....Apply here

Legacy of War Mod Leader

 

Hello Legacy of War Fans, your eyes are not decieving you, I have returned but as Co-Leader. Halo 3 re-engerized me. Ok enough babble babble talk no one cares about. Lets get onto the main event: The Ingame SSD.

 

But a sidetrack to that, we are looking for talanted skinners to help us skin the models we have.

 

Now to the picture you have all been waiting for, completely ingame thanks to Elron. Legacy of War is now on track more than ever, an unstoppable juggernaut of progress from this point forward.

 

http://legacy.gamemod.net/Ingame/SSDgamethumb.jpg

 

 

I have also added this Wallpaper to the wallpaper page. Elron made it and it looks very nice. The Mini-Mod which will contain the SSD and only the SSD will be available sometime next week, hopefully early in the week so all you Imperials can blow up some Rebels. The Mini-Mod will not attempt to balance the ship in any way, that is beyond the scope of the Mini-Mod. The Mini-Mod is specifically for the purpose of letting players have fun with the ship.

 

 

http://legacy.gamemod.net/Wallpapers/INGAMESSDthumb.jpg

 

Its done, the SSD is ingame and ready for you to download. You can go to the page here or go to the link on the left menu that says "Downloads". Here is an ingame shot:

 

I'd like to address some issues though and here they are:

    - Scale: The SSD is only about 3-4 times the size of an ISD, this is so it can still move around the map as a normal ship. Its true size would have made it too big for any map. When Legacy of War has its first Full Release, this and all other scalng problems will not be present as map sizes will be much bigger and we will have fixed the scales of each ship.

 

    - Engine Glows: We are having a hard time figuring out how to make them and if we had wanted to include them this mod may not have been out for another week, maybe more.

 

    - Intent: This is a small mod meant only to give the Super Star Destroyer to the player to enjoy. It is NOT meant to be balanced, scaled correctly (as explained above), or have its own icon in the command bar, those things will be in the Full Release.

 

http://legacy.gamemod.net/Ingame/SSDDONEthumb.jpg

 

Thats Right People.  We are ready for service again.  And We will be running a number of Updates in the coming Months containing complete information about the mod, tell us on the forums what you want to know and I'll put it on the Site.  I will also finally get around to publishing a FAQ for the mod and also Features we planned for the mod but are not feasible at the moment.  Things like Empire at War Forces of Corruption Type Orbital Bombardment.  Mind you we have got some stuff that they don't.  You will be able to see a Short movie of that feature in game soon, hopefully.

When you go down to the forums you will notice that we have a portal now.  That will allow you to view the latest News From the forum and also has a number of other features. 

 

Well we are now hosted from Nektor Hosting and we have control of the server Admin Panel so we can do checks for problems directly instead of having to wait for the Revora Hosting admins to remove any malicious uploads.  We are a lot more streamlined now in terms of staff.  Quite a few have been kicked from the team as they have been AWOL for a little while.  Those affected can get in touch with me to explain just where they have been so for the moment we are again running on a Shoestring, real life has also hit us again with a member of staff having to leave due to personal reasons, good Luck SithDagger!!

 

However there is some good new.  I'd Like to announce 3 new members of staff.  chooie is a modeler/skinner and has already skinned us the Quasar-Fire Class carrier, remodelled and Skinned the Strike Cruiser and is currently working on Skinning the Carrack Cruiser and Remodelling/ skinning the Reborn Emperor's Galaxy Gun.

 

The other new members of Staff are Artili and Klarin.  Artili is a very skilled Skinner/ Modeler and  Skinned our Bwing, he is currently working on the rest of our fighters.  Klarin is a coder and is picking up the slack with z3r0x while moda, Arkles and Mikan are MIA.  Arkles...No idea where he is.  Mikan was hit badly by the Trojan from the old Site so he is still getting that removed.  moda's PC is down so until he is back up and running z3r0x is filling in.

 

Well.  An Update isn't an Update without Pictures In my opinion...sadly you will have to wait for them.  We will be doing an Update in the near future but till then.....

 

Welcome to the New Servers

 

Foshjedi2004

 

Welcome everyone to the NEW Legacy of War site and forums. As you can see we have moved from our old host to our new one. I would also like to show off a few new shots of finished projects.

 

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/images/renders/BWingthumb.jpghttp://www.legacy-of-war.com/images/renders/StrikeCruiserthumb.jpghttp://www.legacy-of-war.com/images/renders/QuasarFirethumb.jpghttp://www.legacy-of-war.com/images/renders/Executorthumb.jpg

 

Well this is good new that our SSD V1 is on the Disk.  On the Disk the Desciption is cool has our logo and everything.

 

Here is the Mag Description:

EMPIRE AT WAR - THE SUPER STAR DESTROYER MOD

 

The Capital ships in Empire At War are so large that your Squadrons of A-wings zoom over them like mosquitos, and each component of their sky-Blackening Hulk has to be targeted individually, but do you ever feel like perhaps they're not big enough?  The Man they Call Avenger apparently did, so we can all enjoy the Behemoth he's Created.

 

Happy Birthday Legacy of War.  It was 1 year ago today that Juggernaut and DK_Viceroy began the mod.

 

Since that day the Mod has gone a long way.  We have created a team that all are working towards a goal.  We'd like to mention that after the imminent small release we will have in total 5 Major releases.

 

1st release is a canon remake of the Empire at War basic campaign.

 

2nd Release is a Canon Remake of the Star Wars timeline for the Galactic Civil War up to the Events of Truce at Bakura.  The ETA for this release is Q1 2007.

 

3rd Release is an Expansion for the timeline from Bakura to the death of the Resurrected Emperor.  ETA for this Release is Q3/4 2007 with our current staffing levels.

 

4th Release is from the Imperial Civil War to the Signing of the Peace Accords. Eta is TBA

 

5th Release is the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion. ETA is TBA

 

If we had the staff we could set up teams to work on each region of the timeline.  If you are interested in bringing these dates forward please post in the recruitment topics and a specific release you would like to work on.  Nearly all of R1s Models are done but not skinned.  R2s Model list is well on the way and we have R3/4/5 model lists done and many of them have been done.

 

If you are applying for Concept Artist you will be mainly concepting images for Chiss and Yuuzhan Vong Units.

 

We'll be updating the site in the next few weeks with unit lists and short descriptions for Each Faction.

 

Well thats about it.  We'd like to thank the staff members for getting the mod to where it is at the moment and the community for their thoughts throughout the community.  They will be taken into account while we work on some really cool features for you in the final mod.

 

Cheers for your Support again.

 

Legacy of War Leaders

 

Well isn't this a nice surprise.

 

I got an Email from the Great Guys at PC Gamer.  The Next Release we do...Should be out sometime in the near future....is going to be on the PC Gamer Disk including an Apology for the mixup.

 

So I think everything is smoothed over now...

 

 

LoW is 1...+1 day

 

Ok Guys... We have a conundrum...

 

We need Skinners.

 

There is a MAJOR Release in the works. Its bigger than anything that the community has currently seen and Will be seen in September IF We get another 4 Skinners.

 

At the moment we have 2 Skinners, Admiral Mackay and Artilimartili... GoodWood is MIA...

 

So...

 

IF You want a Kickass Mod that will remake the entire Empire at War Game We need your Help....

 

We have a lot of Models done for the release and our Skinners are Swamped...

 

If you have any prior experience with Any graphics programs we want you....

 

Cheers

 

Applicants Can either post in this thread or Join me on AIM, MSN, YahooMessenger or Skype (Melvin2k1)

 

Hi Everyone. Here's a Small Update from the Legacy of War Team.

 

Over the past few weeks we have changed the direction for the releases and we should have a large release instead of just the ship Pack before the release of Star Wars: Forces of Corruption.

 

In the Mod we are going to release, we plan on adding 48 new Units, 9 new Heroes, 7 of them Completely new.... 19 new, previously unseen locations and 9 New in game Features Including Orbital Bombardment.

 

Plus at least 2 Easter eggs...

 

Lets just say that the Easter Eggs are Interactive...

 

Hello All.

 

Welcome to the September Update for Legacy of War.

 

For the first few days of September we released Some Map Shots and Some TIE Fighter Renders.

 

You can see some of these Images below and the rest here in the News Forum .

 

Alongside this we are releasing a podcast in the near future.  I just need to do the final record.  It should be with you later this week.

 

This update is just going to make a few points I further elaborate on in Podcast 1.

 

We have a Lot of the Maps required for the First Release now completed, we also have a lot of the units coded in, you can see the Strike Cruiser, Lancer, TIE Defender and some other TIEs below.

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/Ingame/LoW_Strike-Cruiser_ES_thumb.jpg

The Strike-class cruiser was a medium cruiser designed by the Loronar Corporation during the Galactic Civil War for the Imperial Navy as a general-purpose vessel capable of modular modifications to allow it to fit many missions profiles, yet cheap enough to be produced in large quantities.

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/Ingame/LoW_Lancer_ES_thumb.jpg

The Lancer-class frigate was a capital ship used for anti-starfighter operations in the Imperial Navy.

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/Ingame/LoW_TIE-Bomber_ES_thumb.jpg

The TIE/sa starfighter, known as the TIE Bomber, was a larger, less maneuverable TIE starfighter used for destroying large Rebel ships and pinpoint precision bombing.

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/Ingame/LoW_Vaders-Wing_ES_thumb.jpg

The TIE Advanced x1 (TIE/x1) was a prototype starfighter field tested by Darth Vader at the Battle of Yavin. Many of its best design features were later incorporated into the TIE Interceptor and the TIE Avenger.

The TIE/ln starfighter, often referred to as the TIE Fighter, was the standard Imperial starfighter seen in massive numbers throughout the Galactic Civil War.

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/Ingame/LoW_TIE-Defender_ES_thumb.jpg

The TIE Defender was in many ways far superior to any other starfighter of the time, having the advantage against the X-wing and perhaps all other Rebel craft (even the A-wing's speed) in every respect, exceeding the X-wing's armament with its two ion cannons, and two missile launchers with an increased capacity.

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/Ingame/LoW_TIE-Interceptor_ES_thumb.jpg

The TIE/In starfighter, or TIE Interceptor, was an improved version of the TIE/ln starfighter. It was identifiable by its arrow-shaped radiator panels, as distinct from the hexagonal ones on its parent craft.

 

We are getting units in with leaps and Bounds.  Reskinned TIE Variants are coming.  You saw a few in the Last Few Updates

 

http://legacy-of-war.com/images/renders/LoW_TIE_Promo_thumb.jpg

 

We still have to add the TIE Droid to that list and Also for the Chiss the NSSISS-Class Clawcraft.

 

We are busy working on the Legacy Editor Tools as well.  We hopefully should be getting out a Public Beta Release in the near future but that is subject to change.  You know how bugs pop up all the time..Sigh..

 

We'd Like to Welcome Eldor back into the fold.  He's been at home over the summer and has had a problem with internet Access.  Now he is back at College we should get the models out a lot faster.

 

With this I'd like to put out a call for Staff.

 

We are looking for Concept Artists and Modellers for work on the R4 and 5 releases.  We need some staff to concept and Model the Chiss Units.  So far we have the Well Known Nssiss Class Clawcraft and a Concepted Chiss StarDestroyer but we need some to concept the Maser Equipped troopers and various space units.  Like the Chiss Corvette and Victory Variant seen during the Dark Nest Series.

 

 

If you are interested feel free to post any previous work here

 

We are also looking for someone to help our skinning department work on some of our model Backlog and an extra few hands in coding the units into the game.

 

Its along the lines of the faster they are skinned the faster we get the mod released.  If you are interested we will also teach you how to do Engine Glows, UV Maps and then how to Export them to .alo.

 

Well thats it for this Update.  But I just want to leave you with something that we were going to release in the Ship Pack a few weeks ago.  Sorry guys but you have got a little while to wait for this now...

 

http://www.legacy-of-war.com/Ingame/LoW_Dungeon-Ship_ES_thumb.jpg

Imperial dungeon ship was the term given to describe the 1,000 meter ships the Galactic Empire used to transport captured Jedi Knights during the height of the Great Jedi Purge following the Clone Wars. The original design was first used by the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Wars, and were possibly the same as, or the basis for, Mandalorian Dreadnaughts. They were similar to the Lictor-class dungeon ship, and were possibly based off of Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers. They were still used during the Yuuzhan Vong War by the Mandalorian Protectors.

 

I originally posted this on some of my other sites.... so pardon some of the language. But this will explain what happened...and why all the downtime. 

 

Ok, wow guys its good to be back and what a crazy week its been. On 9/7/06 we got spybotted by some lame south american kiddies.. A few hours later we were able to firewall the shit attack however at about 5pm EST the Datacenter pulled the plug on the server. Now our datacenter was run by some dirty ass russians who like to scam people. We knew they were dirty however they allowed us to stay online as along as we paid our bill. Now little did I know they moved out of their old NOC in the middle of the night and took our server with them. All my emails and calls to them went unanswered.

 

 

On 9/10/06 they email me and say that they are upgrading our pipes. Now I knew this was bullshit but what could I do. They email me again and say that the server would be back online at 5pm EST on 9/10/06. Now I knew something was wrong.. as when I tracert'd the servers main IP it no longer went to New Jersey but to somewhere in PA. Well 5pm came and went. So I send a email off. 45 min later I get one back stating that the server would be back on at 11pm. Well 11pm came and went.... I send another angry email. I get no reply. Now this is where the fun begins... at about 1:30am I get a call from one of my admins Nex aka Arya. He informs me he is leaving. He does'nt give much of a explanation other than he has lost his passion for all this. I take him at his word.. however I was little miffed that this person I took under my tuteledge for 2 years quits with out much of a explanation or warning. However, thats life I guess. Well, this was more bad news I did not need. However at about 7am EST 9/11/06 our server came back online. So.. I call a meeting for Monday night to break Nex's leaving to the members as he could'nt do it himself. Well at the end of the meeting our TS gets spybotted by more kiddies as does the IRC. Well again this goes on for about 20 min, until our firewalls block it.

 

 

Now on 9/12/06 at about 4am our server goes offline again. Why??? The russians unplugged it again. So once again goes the phone calls and the emails. I had a friend who went out to the Datacenter to see wtf was going on. He tells me its empty. Once again Im wishing I had opted for the optional Lojack for my server. So I tracert the IP and its in PA ending via Sting Communications. Now for those that dont know.. Sting is a MLPS and Ethernet Carrier. So I call in a favor at work and get a Netadmin I know over there to tell me where the hell my ip is routed to.. he says.. Direct Link in Reading... I say thanks.. and call Direct Link. I talk to some dumb bitch who proceeds to tell me Im on crack. So I call back and get another jackoff who tries to stall me with some bullshit. So I ask for Debbie the IT manager of Direct Link. Debbie gets on the phone and I explain to her that the damn Russians have run off with my server. She says she will look into this and get back to me. Well at this point.. Im pretty pissed off and worried we WILL never get our stuff back. So I call the Police to see what they know.. they tell me that they have gotten LOTS of calls like mine. They also promise me they will go out to DirectLink to fix this mess...well I dont hear anytning. Well on Wendsday I get a call from one of the Russians he tries to explain to me that Sting dropped one of their net blocks. I tell him he is full of shit and plug my box in... he says he will and he will call me back in 15 min. 15 min comes and goes and the moron never calls me back.

 

 

So I call Direct Link again and get another moron on the phone. This time I try some Social Engineering... I tell her I'm John and I need to speak to Frank... he is in the NOC and he is away from his 2-way. Please page him.. she says ok. Then she comes back and says uhhhh plase call.... she gives me the # to my old datacenter. I was like WTF? So I hang up... and begin to pull a Kiddie Info file on em. I pull stats on ALL these scumbags and begin to call ALL of them. Finally on 9/14/06 I get a # to Natalia. She is the sister of the owner. She tries to pull the "ME NO SPEAK ENGLISH SHIT" However I know some Russian and I say to her in Russian... YOUR A LYING BITCH. So she responds in English.... Dont talk to me that way. I say.. "GIVE ME MY DAMN SERVER BITCH". Well she begins to give me some cock and bull story about how I need to call Direct Link.. I say No... GIVE ME MY SERVER... I then call her private cell # which begins to ring in the background... I say to her "You gonna pick that up'". She says ok... and puts the phone down and picks up her cell.. and I scream into her cell "GIVE ME MY FUCKING SERVER BITCH". She says "How did you get this#?" I say.. "Im gonne get more than that if you dont fix my shit". She says "Whats the IP address and Tag# for the server". So I give it to her. She asks me for a phone# and says she will call me back.... 2 hours later she calls me and says. "Your server is online". She then tells me " Do not call me here any more.".. and hangs up.

 

 

Now, I was not at a terminal at the moment, so I call Optix and I tell him the box is up. He goes in and grabs everything and moves it. I then call another friend of mine. He has a Small DataCenter in New York. He also has a private subnet and great pipes. He tells me we can park the box there no prob. So last night we moved all the data and we are now back online. Also in case you have not noticed Optix has replaced Arya as admin.. and we lost one Jew and one Drama Queen we will also be making some other minor changes in days to come. So again sorry for the downtime. Congrats to Optix on the promotion... Adios and Auf Wiedersehn Arya.

 

Some of you may not understand about some of the names of people here but they are other people that are in another group with me... and no its not a mod. This site is on the same box as that site and many others I run. Moral of the story is. Take Daily backups.. AND never co-locate or host with Russian Mafia types.

AND never co-locate or host with Russian Mafia types.

 

I thought that was a given.

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

So why you related to russians?Just curious nothing else.

[Foshjedi2004]

The Russians were the datacentre Owners.
