Planned Possible Downtime

 

We have recieved an email from our server provider. Here's the message as a whole:

To All Customers:
We will be making alterations to our core network Friday, May 11 from 12 am to 4 am. We do not anticipate any downtime with this maintenance but you may experience briefs moments of increased latency. If you have any questions about this maintenance please let us know.

Thank you


TL;DR: Expected probable intermittent downtimes between 12AM and 4AM EST.

They say the don't expect to interfere, but, let's face it, stuff happens. Regularly.

Planned maintenance 07/05/2012

 

There will be an expected downtime today around 12:00 MST for planned maintenance on the Chaos server. The Creative server will remain up during this time.

Expected downtime is somewhere in the area of two (2) hours, with the later part being reserved for stability checks. During the stability check period, we may white-list the server for our staff to have free reign should we need to reboot any amount of times. If it is not white-listed, expect the server to drop a few times within that period.

There will be an update here if the downtime is shorter or longer than expected.

Edit (12:00 MST): Maintenance is under way!
Edit (12:21 MST): Well, already hit our first snag, hopefully we can still be close to the estimated time...
Edit (13:37 MST): Hmm. Well, all's going good so far, progressing at a regular pace. Timer is rapidly ticking >.<

As of 14:24 MST, maintenance is complete.

We will need to pull it down again in the near future for some additional issue tweaking, however we are done for now. Check back for more updates!
