Yesterday I ordered a server upgrade to fix some of the issues we are having with performance since switching providers.

A lot of the issues are primarily with network but as for some of it, it was due to the processor we were using on our servers. When ordering the server at the time I primarily just wanted as little downtime as possible, so I carelessly purchased a server that wasn't very optimized for hosting game servers.

After a discussion with our hosts, tonight @ 22:30PM GMT, our main 'universe' server will be going down for an estimated 20-30 minutes in order to upgrade our server with better hardware. Now, rest assured, no content from our current server will be lost. All that will be happening is our data drive will be moved over to a better server rather than replacing the hardware, so all should be good on that front and the servers should be back up with no problems.

I personally apologize for the inconveniences caused by this downtime and also by the poor server performance up until now, but we are still in a settling in phase at our new host, although they have been super helpful.

I will keep this thread updated regarding when the downtime is happening and when it will be back up, as well as with (god forbid) details for if anything goes wrong.
