Apologies, again.. for the flashy, not so misleading, obviously not-false, title.
WE ARE GOING DOWN IN 12-18 HOURS!
…..
Of course, for an OS reload/re-install.
Enough of monkeying around! Real news to come once we’re down… ok.. enough of the monkey business.
So, we’re all set with our preparations, and the server will be taken down for an OS Reload (OS Re-Install) in about 12-18 hours from now. We’ll then proceed to install the new EngineX webserver and other important stuff to get everything in order.
In short, we’re looking at a downtime of about 48 hours (at most).
Now.. I know most (if not all) of you are worried that like last time, we might destabilize for an entire week and things might get disrupted, etc. But, please, let me make a few things clear.
- To begin with, this time round, I (Hamza) will be the one supervising and installing all the necessary software on the server to get it to work. And being one of the founders, my only aim is to get the site back up and running ASAP! So rest assured, there will be NO mess ups this time.
- We have NOT hired any noob management company. We’re NOT switching data centers. As soon as the OS reload is complete, I’ll get to work and get the server up and online in about as little as 12 hours from the time of reload. 48 hours is a fail safe. We could be back up and running in as little as 24 hours.
- Once we’re back up with the new webserver, and file handling… we will be MUCH MORE faster, MUCH MORE stable, MUCH MORE reliable, and we’ll FINALLY get to work to fix ALL the pending issues. How’s that for a delayed Christmas gift to all of you?
Soooooooo… wish me luck, everyone. And hope for the best. We’re taking a dive for a while. Will be back up ![]()
And yeah, this blog will NOT be going down. It’ll be up and running just as it always has been
… so check back on it (in case we have something important to announce).

P.S: We love RP as much as you do. Maybe more. To us both, it’s like a relative that we cannot part from

Hey guys. I love the site. I do have a problem though. Since the update I haven’t been able to finish any downloads. It starts and the speed is great but randomly in no particular order the downloads stop and will not allow me to resume them. Pretty annoying. Any issues that you know of?

The more food in that particular area, the more bees are recruited to feed there. It’s actually the scout that locates the food source that indicates its size.
