Server change over

[DarkDeamon]

The server has been a bit of an arse recently and there have been a number of problems behind the scenes with the back end where we manage the server.

After discussions with GD today, they are going to build us a new server and transfer our data and IP over. This is likely to take place early next week during the day and will result in the server being offline for a period of up to an hour.

Once they update me with a date and time, I'll update this thread.

And here ( and also looong ago ) we are very happy to have a skilled professional informatician by our side of the server.

Thks DD you make things go way smoother ( and many more )

Server being swapped over this evening. May be off-line for up to an hour

[Ztranier]

thx for info Dark

[DarkDeamon]

Transfer taking much longer than anticipated (thanks to all the maps and my theater)!

Server should be back up at some point tomorrow, depending on when I get the all clear to remote in and do some necessary changes. Will keep you all updated.

This new server will be more performant?

This new server will be more performant?

We don't know, we hope so!

After lots of upping and downing (like a tarts knickers when a ship comes in) the bugger is finally back online and on the original IP and port!!!

There is still one minor niggle which we need the GD linux expert to check when he comes on shift later this afternoon but any restart will be done out of hours.

Fill your boots you maniacs!

if its gone from your favorites

you will need to re add it as the port has changed so new address is

81.19.208.58:27035

which was the old ebs 1 server ip and port.
