Notice Novaworld move all services
 

this is for all their services

attachment is a SS of the qoute.

Wonder why they're doing this lol. Can't get to NW site BTW.

I hope they've got something new coming up for the NW community. If not, they suck. :p

Chris :)

they maybe moving to a new loaction buiding or something.

they could be more like changing over to new servers hosting their service.

money is tight for them i would think no sells on new games now for a long time, it do cost money to host servers for their games think about it.

funny to think they already close down novaworld.com already and its only the March 23 2007.....lmfao

about 2-3 hours ago in seen dfbhd_moderator online for DFBHD servers lol:D

shutting down to save bandwidth money..heheheheheheh

wow, so their services will be down for almost two weeks ?

heard they are moving to india.. not sure how accurate the info is tho

some IT guy got his hands full here...hehehehehehehe

is it only moving ore will nova stop the people ho host ore play whit the mod
ther are go rumours a round that nova will stop people ho host ore play whit the mods

they are moving all their service totally to a new location.

that means all their software servers has will all their gear.

will they stop people from hosting the games can't say i would think so.

if i was moving all my things to a new building then yes all thing be truck to new location.

but again we don't know all the details what service they are moving.

it could be the offices and servers and the whole computer/servers systems
==========================================
Novaworld.com is down i can't get it to load up at all, thats may all so mean all the games servers as will.

some one other have to test that out.

hi Chief ADFP then we need to hold on to saturday morning
then we see

somtime i can login to the games. but when you have a pinger tool for the game and you have the server in the list you can join it

so, all public server will be down too, or only their official servers?
Xbox Live is going down on tuesday, but that's only going to be for 24 hours.

are nova that slow, they take almost two weeks to move to a different location, if it is india, that's far away, but it's still bad they're taking all their services down for so long

I thought that this was a pre-April Fools prank. Turns out it's far from it. :(

it could mean they getting revamp totally maybe. new system to get with the times...


remember NL been out of it totally and they like to do something to make a new bang up game.

i can only hope it not buggy as they made games in the pass.

think this year they will ether make it or it could break them.

but i would like them to make the new game for all system Xbox, PS3, PC DVDrom or Cdrom game for sell. this way they make more money in real fast. cover all area's more money they make

nice thinking cheif, if they made a new game for the XBox 360, like EA are doing with the battlefield series, I'd seriously think about buying it, and probably would in the end :p, I haven't been interested in nova for a long while now, but that could reel me back in.

A revamp would be nice, but as before, them being offline for so long doesn't give them a good reputation

yea i know
we can only hope for the best for them.

there is something to think about if they come out with a game like Delta Force: tomorrow lands 3048 a future combat game. alien or bio war undead think that may get them ahead jump on others.

ether fighting; terrorist, aliens, bio-undead, drug lords, NBC (Nuclear, Bio, Chemical war) or all out war worldwide.

Could be wrong but I read it as servers will be down but not for 2 weeks straight more like a hit and miss kinda deal,just down for periords at a time ie: down for 5 hours up for 3 then down again.Could be wrong

hehe, forgot about not being able to edit your posts in main news threads.
that can't be good for the community either, what about all their loyal fans!/stat whores ect, who religiously play on their servers or go on their site and forums, I always sound so negative talking about NL, I need to hear some positive news about them

DD
it never hurt to say how you feel about them, yes they been relax for too long now days, they have not made real money in for a long time.

NL was a big bang when they started out, but now days they seem more iffy

Ski - where did you hear that, was it a reliable source ?, that sounds promising, no idea if it will happen, hope it dors though, for Nova's sake :).

Chief - yeah, I say what I feel, sometimes it gets me into trouble, sometimes it doesnt, hehe.
I also agree about nova having their day, they were awesome with their earlier games, like LW, TFD & BHD, it all started to go with with Joint Ops, but they have had their successes too.

I thought I read in the novaworld forum that they are moving the servers to a new datacenter.

I can't login to novaworld though to verify that.

IcI

that is true, i read that as well.. they are saving costs by moving to india by the looks of it (good news for euro gamers if its true)

ski is right, it will be up and down throughout periods of time, however if u use the pinger u cn still join servers in ur favourites as long as they dont reboot

I was playin this mornin (sun 3-25-07) then something froze up and I went to look at NW website and it wouldnt load so I would say they shut it down now, but I'll keep tryin. Just got this in Jan and havnt had much playin time but now Im hooked and now Im jonesin'

Here is what nova is doing

Important notice concerning NovaLogic games and NovaWorld!

Beginning Sunday, March 25th, 2007, we'll be moving our Network Operating Center (NOC) from our offices in Calabasas to a colocation center in the Los Angeles area. This move will begin with a half day of non-service followed by a series of non-service periods throughout the following weeks. Some of our game titles will require you to download our free patcher utility which will modify your installed product to work in our new location. If you do not modify your installed product, it will no longer work over the internet.

The game titles that will require this utility are:

* F-22 Raptor
* Comanche Gold
* F-16 Multirole Fighter
* MiG-29 Fulcrum
* F-22 IBS
* Delta Force
* F-22 Lightning 3
* Armored Fist 3
* Delta Force 2
* Tachyon The Fringe *
* Delta Force Land Warrior **

* Tachyon The Fringe will no longer allow consumers to host their own game servers once it has been patched.
** Some versions of Delta Force Land Warrior installs will require it.

Download this utility now!

You can select the RUN option, or the SAVE option. You may also right-click this link and select "Save target as...". Clicking on the SAVE or Save Target As options will require you to begin the program once the download has completed.

Once the NL Exe Patcher utility has started, follow the instructions given.

Heres the patch link

beat me to posting it Cyber :p

please note BHD isnt mentioned folks .. ;)

So, it isn't India?, atleast it's not as bad as first thought, almost two weeks of complete downtime, that would've spalt disaster.
yay for all your BHD fans :)

thanks you for that:gj:
i can now instill DF: 1/2/Lw in get them going again soon

Tip for all: fully update your games first (download updates & save them) then add this new patch to redirect the game to new location to connect with novaworld servers internet address

Was dicking around and figured out how to get df2 to work for now..

Goto page listed below.....goto your browsers file...(top left)

http://nw2.novaworld.net/df2lobby8.htm

Save page as....goto your C:....program files....novalogic.....DF2 folder.

There is a page already listed there called STARTUP.....click on that...save and overwrite...

Go play game.... Wink

Novas problem is they dont have enough good game ideas.I would give them some of my ideas I know would make tons of money for money in return but I know they wont pay for ideas.Too bad I am not a game designer or I know a idea for a 3rd Joint Ops that might stomp EA's butt in.I call it Joint Operations Rising Sun and it has to do with the game going more into Rebel Territory but thats all I am going to say upon my idea.Might make a better mod but then again a possible good expansion idea.

There not down completly for 2 weeks, theres just random down times 1 to 24 hrs. it was up last night when i got home from work but when i left for work that morning it was down. and this is not all the different lobbies at the same time either.

this makes it look like they close the servers to either transfer large bits of info from an old one to a new one, or they are moving that server, or even doing upgrades to it.

there not moving to india, but somewhere else in southern california.

Here's my 2 cents. DFLWdemo was taken down and will never return. I lost the games DFLW and DFX last November and could not find them in any store. I ended up replacing them through Nova on line services. If I could not find any Nova games at all that close to Christmas it tells me Nova is in need of some serious changes in the way they market their games as this surly cost them.

I cant believe its 9/april and no word yet!!!

Any News Yet?
 

Hi

ANy news when they are up and running? Man its been 2 weeks without my fix!!

I haven't played a nova game for a while, but the services were meant to be available at intervals, what game are you trying to play, woah, it's gone over the end date now, that's kinda sad.

DFBHD
 

Im playin BHD with no problem at all. Whats different from what you guys are doin

it ended a couple days go..

April the 6th my a**. I just went into the lobby and it did the same as usual...

I'll tell everyone the truth: they are going to finish moving all their servers in July 24th 2009, because that's when it's Armageddon day for Nova...

Chris

BTW, a few days ago I used Nova Pinger and it said it connected to NW fine, yet in BHD, doesn't work.

Lemme try LW...

Chris :)

Well, I could go play LW online. I don't login the LW lobby so I dunno what happens when you log in...

Chris

my BHD pinger has worked every time I've tried it, no one I know plays older DF games anymore though.
