We have received word from our game server host that they will be doing a physical datacenter move.

This will happen tomorrow, June 20th, server time unknown at this point. Same goes for downtime.

As per our host:

Impact: We will be physically moving servers between datacenters. There will not be an outage for the entire time range, see MAINTENANCE WINDOW below.

After years of being unable to grow further in our Los Angeles deployment due to Coresite's inability to provide us with additional space, in addition to Coresite's continuous price increases with no improvement in the service offering, we've made the decision to entirely lift and shift our Los Angeles deployment to a different datacenter partner.

Please be informed that we did not take this decision lightly; it's a large number of racks that a sizable team is going to be spending 24/7 over the course of three days moving, but without being able to move into a new footprint with a partner that can and wants to grow with us, we've been left with no choice.

What does this mean for you?

It means that the game server will go down temporarily some time tomorrow, June 20th, at a currently unknown time. The downtime itself is also unknown at this moment. Most likely the downtime will be several hours or part of the day.

Once the physical machine is back online, we will have to restart a lot of services to get things back in working order, which will add additional downtime.

We apologize for the short notice, as we also have received a short notice ourselves. Thank you for your understanding.
