Ok, for the 4th time in a month, the EU-BUNGIE servers are down. They don't show up in the server list and the IP list on bungie.net is outdated, so that doesn't work too.

This is really getting rediculous. I don't expect the servers to be up constantly, but 4 times in a month is pushing it to the limit.

And a bit of info wouldn't hurt either. Why are they down? For how long? Please bungie, don't turn into EA (although it's already too late for that i'm afraid)

There is maintenance in the datacenter where those servers are housed. Those servers should reappear as soon as the maintenance is complete. Unfortunately, I have no specific ETA for you.

Thank you for this official announcement. The fact that I know now that the problem is not on my end is comforting.

I don't know if you are 'the guy' but it would be really helpful for us Halo PC players if there was some sort of server status message on the bungie site/forums. I know it's unlikely, but I can only try ;-)

Much appreciated,

Ice

Obviously you people never read my thread on Bungie's contract for the servers.

Well heres an update. I spoke to the guy in RIT and he basically said that the datacentre moving job is HUGE, hence the fact we have not heard anything from them.
The data centre is currently relocating from Dublin, IRL, to Cork City, IRL.
This involves the movement of lots of equipment, not to mention the fact its all got to be setup again and tested.

But there is some good news!

The contract Bungie have has been confirmed as a 'rolling contract', that means to say that as soon as the data centre has been relocated we can all expect to be playing on our favourite EU servers once again.

So just give the techs some time and before you know it we will be back to fragging and tking each other in the time honoured EU-CTF tradition.

FYI, I did read it, so did Mr B and we both were asking for some proove to back up your rather 'bold' statements. Since we didn't get the forementioned proove we both concidered it big bollocks.

What you are saying now makes more sense, and I'm actually thinking about believing it this time, but once again... something to back up your facts would be nice.

Still, this doesn't take care of the fact that Bungie really should publish stuff like this on their site.

A friend of mine works for the RIT company that handles the contracts for the servers. Thats the only proof I can give, (you can choose to believe it or not, either way it doesnt bother me, Im only trying to help).
Im only trying to pass on iformation to you guys so that we dont have to bust bungies balls in return.

Acronos wont say anything because you know what they are like at Bungie, they only ever communicate with the community on their terms, never ours.
Quite sad really, considering other big budget developers go out of their way to interact with their community when ever possible.

I would love to give you more info, but I dont think he'd appreciate me giving his details out over the net.
I know you hear this stuff alot but I've got better things to do with my time than make up s tories about imaginary people, (I have got a degree to finish you know!) :o)

There are other servers than the Bungie servers, some servers can be better with less t'kers, better lag, and generally better gaming. Have a good look around.

I talked about this in other threads already and I really don't feel like saying it again.

Bottom line is: It's not easy for EU people to find decent servers

(we need a search function)

Yes, I'm bumping but I've come to the point that I don't really care anymore...
