New infrastructure

Dear Community,

Thanks to your additional support (~500 euros reached during sunday), Administration Team was able to get access to a much more powerful server (for a limited time yet). This server should be able to reduce the server lag that some players encounter when the server reaches ~6.000 players, and will also help us be more efficient while developing. During sunday, after positive local tests, the new hardware was used at the end of the morning (GMT+1). The result wasn't what we expected, and consequently, it was decided to move back to the old hardware.

A new test is scheduled tomorrow between 14:00 & 16:00 GMT+1 with a new Core version.
A shutdown of at least 30 minutes will occur.
Then, the server will be back online on the new hardware.
If everything goes well, the server will stay as it is, meaning a migration success.
If things go wrong, we'll have to revert the hardware once again, and continue our investigation.
The revert will lead to another shutdown of at least 30 minutes (time to switch of hardware) so everyone can play again.

The validation of this new hardware will help us move forward to the next step planned next week, if everything works fine :)

Once again, thanks to your support.

Best Regards,
Nostalrius.

That's great news. With new hardware you'll be more efficient while developing. That means you can code daze properly to not being applied with an absorb shield up. See the below thread for more information. Keep up the good work!

The only thing i'm scared of is the new Core version, I hope it won't generate more bugs :(
