The blue man group has arrived


The movers are here, now you didn’t think we would be hauling all the servers ourselves did you? Well I sure didn’t jump for that opportunity! We have a good group here to help us move and get setup. Not in any specific order but you have here a glimps of Chaos and Loki and Sakray, and so what maybe I did name the movers?!

I know over the years there has been this rumor about hamsters and what role do they play in the servers. Well you can see we had the hamsters do the wiring here, and well I guess a picture is worth a thousand words.

Got Wires?

The process now is cutting, pull ties, unplugging, lifting and removing, not dropping (this is key to survival in all cases), packing, transporting, and then reversing the order. Seems simple yeah?

And now we say so long to our home for all these years, we will remember the good times and the bad times.

  1. I’m pretty sure I saw a hamster!

    Or was that just Callycakes’ reflection? ;o

  2. Looks like walls of blue,red yellow, and every other colored liquorice.. I KNEW IT. the game servers are made out of candy!

  3. Are you going to reset something? If i get to find my storage empty, I’ll kill your hamsters, mwahaha. Nah… Have a “happy” day, and enjoy the new home :D

  4. what a mess! actually organize your wires next time for much easier transport and troubleshooting! :P

  5. Yeah we kinda inherited that wire mess, and no one wanted an 8 hour maintenance while it was straightened out.

    Frankly our network admin is quite frustrated/embarassed about that spaghetti wiring. The Requiem servers he set up and is MUCH cleaner.

  6. This is awesome, I always wondered what the servers actually looked like. I figured they looked something like that, but I wasn’t expecting the wire mess.

  7. oh wow, thanks for the fyi postings. I bet it took them extra time getting the wiring raveled for ROSE. I wouldn’t mind seeing some level 7 gems in my storage when I sign back on.
