Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Online Services Currently Offline
Submitted by badman on Tue, 10/30/2012 - 18:43
The data center hosting the online services for Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars was taken out by Hurricane Sandy a few hours ago and is currently offline. That unfortunately means you won't be able to sign into your online account, and multiplayer server authentication is unavailable too. An army of engineers and technicians is working to restore power and service, but it's understandably difficult due to the on-going conditions in the area. We'll keep an eye on things and will let you know when normal service resumes.

It's possible that this is related to the big huge power outages caused by Hurricane Sandy in the US. Will try and find out more, but large swaths of the East Coast have been told to stay in their homes so it may be a while. :)

Maybe I'm thicker than a monkey's forehead but wouldn't this effect other games/servers too.
As an ,for example,Wolfenstein servers seam to be unaffected East side of the States?
And even the only populated Brink server (2 players) States side,is merrily chugging along.
Just an observation. ;)

Seems to be back up, kinda. Had a "cancelled" error the first two times I tried before it got through. Only 8 other people online.

It depends on where they're located - bear in mind that ETQW uses DemonWare, which the other games don't.

Just had confirmation that the datacenter hosting ETQW's multiplayer services was taken out by the hurricane. They have techs on site trying to restore service but so far there's no ETA.

Hello,
i'm also having problems to login since yesterday. When i try to login it shows the error "cancelled", but with other username that is older and not used for a long time the login process works fine and i can see the old account's stats.
And i have been checking who is playing in each server and there aren't many people playing also.
Is this still going on? Why is my older account able to login (haven't tried joining a server) while my current account can't login?
Thanks.

In case this wasn't clear from earlier posts in this thread, it is [U]still possible[/U] to get online and I have no reason to believe that it will work for some and not for others. It seems to be a hit and miss affair for everyone atm. You may have to give it several tries and several is sometimes a lot more then just a couple. It took me about half an hour to get on-line this morning and when I finally managed to do that, I was the only person in the world on a server :) .
Btw, thanks for the update Badman!

Sorry Dadman. I was just entertaining my fans. The "guilty" object that have a ETA on "T talk" is not SD, but the responsible for the tornado.
IT'S NOT APROOVED. I DO NOT AGREE! So it can't happens.

Slowly! The problem is, MCP was already making it's way by the bridge, then suddenly huge hurricane came, and MCP has fallen off the bridge so it is totally stucked. Map need to be restarted, as soon as the enginieers and constructors will stop quarrelling whether or not electricity would be a better power supply than stroyent... :/ That's the main problem now - shall we help them to figure out?

I'm not sure what's causing it, but I guess there's a problem with the authentication server today. I can only see 17 active servers as I type this (it was only 2 this morning!) and if I use the history tab to join a server that doesn't show up in the active servers list, I get a message that it's the server isn't authenticated (I tried the Villa server for this.)
Can someone have a look at this?
