Server status: Up or Down?

[Darks63]

I would prefer that they take their time rather than speed up and wipe characters/gear.

Why? because the server wasn't up in a few minutes?
It's 4am in France and the devs do have (real) jobs....

Some explanations.

The db disk is full (where your characters, items yadayayada, vaults...) are stored. So we must make things carefully (don't you agree? :p) to manage some space (backup, re-allocating (not a tech) etcetc...).

It may take some time and we apologize for this, but i guess you understand...

Wow I would think you would have some Netcool(or other alert software) on that when space gets a certain threshold it starts shooting off emails or maybe you do but the threshold is not set correctly every DB I have ever admin'd that feature was present. Not going to ask why you're not running a redundant failover either that backs up once a night lets say 4 AM French time(yes I know some DB licences are expensive)
