Why Did MAUL Crash?

​

Why did we post the Big eGO news? Why did MAUL go down? Why why why?

Well we will tell you why: HostGator decided to cut our webhosting off because we were using too much bandwidth. This is despite having a Professional Account with them. They did not tell us in advance, they did not give any warning, they just turned us off. We asked why and they said something to the effect that we were using more than our fair share of bandwidth.

So, we scrambled around and got another server from SoftLayer and we are going to do our own hosting for MAUL and some other things that keep eGO running like a fine tooled machine.

It took Kendle and Dominion over 9 hours of work to get the server, set up the server, get DB's online, line out each game server with the admin DB.

An all day affair thanks to Host Gator's professional webhosting account. Well, we guess you know you have a big eGO when Host Gator kicks you out!

Not to mention taking up our Advisors, DL's and Council people's time adming servers thru rcon.

Thanks everyone for your hard work!
