Vorspire, Noll and me are upgrading the live server box today. Migrating to a new operating system and hardware that will be more reliable to the players. This doesn't happen often as we hate being down all all (99% uptime in over 5 years), but it is totally worth it. There is no exact time that will migrate will take, could be 1 hour, could be 6 -- We will work fast as possible.
Thank you all for your patience as we continue to strive to give you the best gaming experience possible.
Status: The live box has been turned off, shard's saved and backed up. The network company has been green lighted to proceed with the new upgrade on their end.
Status: Still working on setting up the new live box's OS and third party programs.
Thank you for your patience.
Status: Installed the shards and their backups. Phase 1 complete.
Working on patching the servers software. We are moving quickly.
Status: Words from Vorspire "Almost there".
And we're live.
Thank you all for your patience.
