Good news everyone! ( kindabutnotreally: downtime ^_^ )

The server will be down tomorrow for 8-16 hours, starting sometime late morning (UK time)

I have decided to go ahead and pay for the new SQL server we were in need of. I will need to stop the server, dump the contents of the database, transfer it over to the new server and then populate the new database.
I'm am currently running tests to make sure this will go smoothly, and am about 7 hours into my test-run.
Should this be successful, I will then do it for realsies.

So, sorry but this means downtime :( But should mean less lag :)

I decided to do it on a tuesday, as this is normally when we have the least number of players on.

So, my question to you guys is: What will you be doing in your time without Zedwork? Any other games you play?

I'll be doing the only thing there is to do, sitting in the corner rocking back and forth continuously pressing refresh on the server list until it comes back :P

Also yay, less lag :D

Another great example of why we need an announcement banner :D
I don't even go through the main page anymore anyway

I realised it was more convenient for me to do it now, as opposed to in 6 hours time. So the server is down already :P

Sad day that the server is down. Guess I'll go play Team Fortress 2 instead.

Server is now back online. Starting the server seemed much faster than previously. Haven't tested it under heavy load, but things are looking good :)
