Site Update
Aywas is back!
So, here's the adventure.
At 12:30 AM we requested a new hard drive - as we were told that Aywas would speed up if we put our MYSQL database on a solid state secondary drive. The drive was installed by 1:00 AM, all looked good, until I turned the site back on and logged in.
Our data had been rolled back to October 2010. O__o
So, yeah, suffice to say that was unacceptable. Around 1:30 AM I requested that our hourly backups be extracted and the most recent database before the downtime be used. From 1:30 AM until now, 9:00 AM... the backups kept failing. And failing. :|
Only about ten minutes ago did a backup FINALLY WORK! And now we have Aywas back, just as it was when we left it - and hopefully faster!
Please tell me if you see a speed increase. That was the point of all this work!
As you so kindly waited along with me in our eight hours of downtime, feel free to request a free common species custom here by submitting a custom image.
It's great to be back!

I'm sorry to tell you, that I don't notice any speed increase.
I'm online with 6Mbit/s and it's as slow as usual. I tried muti-tab and single-tab browsing and I used the forum- item- and pet-search in several ways.
But it's good to see you back. ;-)

MUCH slower, much more lag now with less people online. (409)
Feels like the old dial-up days back in the beginning of the internet. lol

I think it depends on how many users are online? From what I can tell, it runs smoothly sometimes but if I'm trying to load the Forums or even the News area, it lags up and takes a bit to load D:

I'm glad the site is back though.

I was freaking out last night 'cause I tried to load it when it said October and I couldn't log in XD Glad to see everything's back up and fine though. Offering free customs is so awesome of you! How long will the offer be available though? I'm no artist, so I'm trying to commission someone to make a Dragon/Wyvern Phanto for me, but I don't know how long it will take to find an artist. I can pay in GP *wink*

Just reporting back in on the speeds, if anyone is interested.
372 online, lagging so badly now exploring, playing bones, even purchasing items from the shops is impossible. :(
Hope it can be fixed soon... I miss playing at Aywas. :(

Maybe it's just my computer, but Aywas is actually slower for me now than it was before O__O
