Level Up (A5E) A5E.tools down?

[Ondath]

I was just going to check something on the a5e.tools website, but it seems that the site is down. downforeveryoneorjustme also confirms it.

Is it a scheduled maintenance or an unexpected crash?

I had problems with it too, although at one point it went to a screen of random(?) text and said that it was down for maintenance.

Same here.

I’m assuming maintenance. But it has been down for about a day.

There was temporarily a message saying the site was down due to it 'eating itself' or some such and being in beta. Didn't sound like anything to worry about.

 

[Timespike]

Oof. That sounds un-fun for the site manager to untangle, though.

The current maintenance message makes it look like the site collapsed under heavy traffic.

If so, that is actually a very good thing, as it means the number of users has increased to the point where they need some more bandwidth!

This is getting concerning. I was going to run a game using these rules but my players needed to reference this site and it has been down all week.

I agree that it's a bummer that the site isn't back, but I can also say that I know from (extremely recent) personal experience that there seem to be two basic types of tech problems:

1. The ones that can be fixed in 30 minutes or less.
2. The ones that seemingly refuse to die, keep manifesting additional symptoms as you troubleshoot, and test the limits of your patience and resolve.

It seems like this might be the latter for the web folks at ENP. :/
