Thanks for the info!

Same here. Been troubleshooting and the server population keeps declining at https://firestorm-servers.com/en/welcome/realms. Started at about 730 an hour ago and is down to 400. I'm assuming something is broken as I keep getting the BLZ1901016 error

[Bowsamdi]

the thing is this is also happening to others not just firestorm lol its like a coordinated attack?

[Limp_Bizquick]

Seems they are actually "Bliz Like" =)

Yeah, it is happening to other servers. A message from the host:

We are currently facing a major incident in our DataCenter of Strasbourg with a fire declared in the building SBG2.
Firefighters were immediately on the scene but could not control the fire in SBG2.
The whole site has been isolated, which impacts all our services on SBG1, SBG2, SBG3 and SBG4.
If your production is in Strasbourg, we recommend to activate your Disaster Recovery Plan.
All our teams are fully mobilized along with the firefighters.
We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

[lollipozaaa]

soooo...what exactly happened? 

 

[decbee2]

another server i play on posted that the host's building is literally on fire...hence why the log in server would be down, and is down for multiple servers that share the host. but i don't know if that's the problem we'll have to wait and see what Firestorm staff says

Has the firestorm staff made an announcement or something? I'd hate to think that the entire BFA server is gone just like that.

[fo0tytang]

I had the same error blz61901016 for the last 6 hours or so. Thought it was just me. Thanks for the information on the fire situation. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/uptime/ceo-says-fire-has-destroyed-ovh-s-strasbourg-data-center-sbg2  Hope nobody got hurt.

I wonder that  site shows 160 online players

[decbee2]

The realms are online so anybody who is logged into the realm would still be able to play, until they disconnect. Then they can't reconnect like the rest of us

So the loginserver and the server when you are online are somehow separate?

"It’s unclear how the fire started at this point." 

Well... judging by another incident/maintenance ticket on their tracker, they've started mass replacing PSU cabling due to potential insulation failure in other datacenters (Limburg) about an hour ago so... make of that what you will

Yes, login and world servers are different.

I think they can do it for security purposes after what happened to OVH.

[Valathorn]

So let's hope the fire's don't reach the server where all the character info is stored then.. x)

Or maybe they have a backup somewhere..

[Valathorn]

Update 7:20am Fire is over. Firefighters continue to cool the buildings with the water. We don’t have the access to the site. That is why SBG1, SBG3, SBG4 won’t be restarted today.

Yes, I hope such a thing does not happen. I think backups are taken.
