Topic: Server move & downtime on 2014-06-16

As announced in our recent devblog we'll be switching the location of our servers from Budapest to Amsterdam, which should considerably improve lag and rubberbanding issues.

The server will be taken offline on Monday, June 16th at 10:00 server time (CEST) and we expect to come online again from the new servers about 3-4 hours later. Our website and all associated services (store, forum, API, IRC, etc.) will be offline during this time as well.

Amazing. A new beginning.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

good luck

Re: Server move & downtime on 2014-06-16

Question:
1. SAP timers will reset or synchronised?
2. plants and mineral layers will be mirrored or generated anew?
3. incubators especially
4. field cans that have been on terrain because the mining macro didn't realise server will shut down will survive the transfer via ticket or not?
less serious question:
5. you will use the opportuninty to create statistics about existing assets while transfering them? (like how many top limit stacks syndic has in his private storage compare to the rest of the server? )

ok, that all i can think of now should be answered.

Re: Server move & downtime on 2014-06-16

Everything will be kept, just as if we would do a simple server restart.

The End of Lag

Don't hold your breath.

But good steps is good news!

I don't do TwitFace, and I notice you won't be able to email me when the servers are back online, but that's OK, I wasn't playing anyway. wink

Re: Server move & downtime on 2014-06-16

Awesome, good luck with the move! How many times more expensive is the rent compared to your current host?

Note: your lagmeter uses a rolling average, so it's always high when you start. Walk around for a minute for it to settle to what your average lag is.

Re: Server move & downtime on 2014-06-16

Tyvm! So far seems my lag is cut by half.

Re: Server move & downtime on 2014-06-16

I am getting 215 ~ 350ish.  I used to get 150.

Re: Server move & downtime on 2014-06-16

I've gone from an average of 50 - 25 but I never really had a problem with day to day lag but stability in strain situations.

In the last fight I did notice a fair bit of rubber banding on autopilot.
