 Registered Member #2421 Joined: Sat Aug 01 2009Posts: 28 | Ok something happening novaworld2.com just gone offline completely again, maybe a server reboot lets see. It appears to trace into the verizon connection (0.ae1.RES-BB-RTR1.verizon-gni.net [152.63.32.142]) this is the gateway to the network where they had the test page on for the last week still so its not another move, could this be the end of the darkness.... OH GOD LET THIS BE THE END THE MADNESS IS STARTING TO TAKE ME... Update: Well its been 20 minutes now and still no sign of the server so it look for the moment its just yet more darkness and not the magic reboot to greatness and goodness, im not sure i can take much more and my blood will be on novas hands if darkness doesnt come to an end soon ha.  Kovoet dude those stats for 72.67.0.25 which was novaworld2.com's do you now if thats the new one or the old one. strangely it still resolves on a whois to that 72.xx ip however the trace resolves to the verison network, forgot what it was before the down and change. Update 2: just noticed novalogic.com (72.67.0.20) is now also down and joined the black hole after being the only remaining nova site on the net :( its not looking good :( [ Edited Sat Oct 30 2010 ] | ||

The quote on wiki says they wont answer any emails at the moment either :( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NovaLogic I also found: 5th Fl.,70-74 City Rd., London, EC1Y 2BJ, United Kingdom ()44 20 7324 8900, 44 20 7324 8919 fax, I tried the uk number (disconnected) but no answer same on the fax number :( noooot good So what do we think guys, the CEO has stopped answering emails, no ones heard a single thing since the day it went off two weeks ago, and what little came back from the black out has now gone again and taken the remaining sites with it. No one will answer the phones or faxes are either disconnected or turned off. Its not looking good at all, i dont want to be the angle of death but have a look at nova's facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/pages/NovaLogic/87101023904 It does rather sadly read like they were getting more desperate towards recent days for cash with the call for more and more sales.... ... so maybe im wrong i really do hope i am, but personally its feeling more like a shutdown than an upgrade to me. The only thing i can come up with is : http://romero.smugmug.com/Video-Games/The-Archives/480_BdMqY/5/63500969_oW6UC/Large John of rome.ro appears to be friends or know john garcia who is nova's ceo, so someone might want to email him and ask if he can make contact with mr garcia.

| Registered Member #2421 Joined: Sat Aug 01 2009Posts: 28 | I just found this address: 23826 Malibu Cove Colony Dr Malibu, CA 90265 John A Garcia Although it would appear since 2006 - 2007 he was leasing it out for private parties and company events through a company called Fingerprint commincations (ran by Jessica Meisel), so again it doesnt look like its been flowing gold for him the last few years. Google Doc from Council Agenda Report in 2008 with a refrence to John and his house Aggg fingerprints website contact page flashes images so fast it should have an epilepsy warning lol: http://www.fingerprintcom.net/ It would appear the office at 301 is currently listed as empty : http://www.buildingsearch.com/CA/Agoura-Hills/Office-Space/ Not a good sign as well... i did find a number for lot 270 (farmers insurance company) which is the closest i could get: (818) 707-6000 It might be someone can convince them into having a look or they may have already seen action up the road and can shead some more light. I suppose the good news its the office isnt listed as vacent office space to rent ... yet.. :( ?? More i found : Novalogic Inc Customer Support B B S (818) 880-3444 26010 Mureau Rd Ste 200, Calabasas, CA 91302 This rings and gets answered by someone, but they dont speak CALL IT NOW !! I tried 3 times but every time i get hung up on and it sounds like someone tapping the receiver with their finger or something. Also found this on a press release: Novalogic, Inc.: Tel: 818-880-4997 -- Disconnected Fax: 818-880-3445 -- Same as the above phone (something picks up no fax no voice then hangs up).

| Registered Member #2421 Joined: Sat Aug 01 2009Posts: 28 | ok well it appears back, well as much as it was 24 hours ago... according to the twitter post: HQ relocation is the reason. Like i said earilier i had seen the networks change when monitoring with tracert, but if they had said data center move... instead of upgrade im sure we would have all understood what the hell was going on. Instead we got ever increasing blackness and only part of the picture told to us. The hq move explains all the number problems... So good news is looks like they dont plan to shut up shop, bad news is this is probably the 2nd or 1st worst PR disaster nova has ever had. [ Edited Sat Oct 30 2010 ] | ||

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list. Registered Member #343 Joined: Fri Oct 29 2004Location: Baton Rouge, LA USA Posts: 1490 | Just seen on the Novalogic.com web site: Last week, Novalogic's scheduled server downtime allowed us to integrate our development and server centers in order to accommodate better gaming experiences. During this process we identified several improvements that could be addressed before going back online. We've decided to extend the downtime to see these changes through. NovaWorld has been running for 13 years with hardly any interruptions, and was due for a major upgrade. We understand this may be a frustrating inconvenience for our customers, but we'll try to ease the process by posting updates here on our home page and on Tiwtter. So all may not be lost after all.... but it sure would have been nice to have been informed during the whole process. It would have eased everyone's concerns and prevented a lot of rumors running amouk. | ||

| Registered Member #2421 Joined: Sat Aug 01 2009Posts: 28 | Yeah man, who ever in charge of nova's marketing dept at the moment want sacking straight away this was a big old mess. Like you said tiger it should have never happened. They didnt want to initially mention the move, two office into one, thats called down sizing, but why lie or forget to mention it, some spin would o done fine. Instead it initially got passed off as an upgrade to benifit the consumers. Then they leave one web site live, that to eventually dissapears along with email/website/phone support, leaving on man and a twitter feed to let us know whats going on. Now im sure other people could have done what i did and just keep on digging until something turned up. Hopefully my pain will save the pain of the many (god bless you spock) ha. So NOVA read this and sack who ever organised this and decided the level of public communication during the perioid would be little short of nothing at all, its a pharse and i say have at you sir.
