ZE Server Testing Period

[SpikedRocker]

As many of you have been told recently, we are looking to move our servers to a new Dedicated Server box. We have been working the past 2-3 weeks on this move and now we are ready for the first phase of testing.

 

As of 5:00 PM ET today, the ZE server is now on the new Dedi. If you had our server in your favorite servers, you'll notice no change in how you need to connect to it. However, if you did not, you'll need to connect via 70.42.74.162:27015. This IP is only going to be temporary while we do some testing.

 

I hope to only have this temporary IP for a week and then it will switch back.

 

So what else do you need to know?

Well if you notice any issues of any sort, you'll need to report it ASAP. Use this thread for reporting issues: http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70257

 

If the server crashes, you need to let an AO+ know IMMEDIATELY. The server will not restart itself at this current moment. So if it does crash, it could be down for some time. We are working on methods to help this, but at the current time we will need your help on this.

 

Thanks for understanding that there could be minor inconveniences while we are in this testing phase and through the transition. But we are hoping this should help your in-game experience.

The server is silky smooth with 52 players and (usually) laggy map like Exorath. Great job guys!

This will only be a positive change for S-G. Thanks!

The good news is that we've been running the server for about 2 days and not a single crash or any bad reports.

 

Next step will be adding other servers over and making sure they run well in concert. I'll be moving another server over mid-week.

At some point tomorrow, do not have specific time of when, the ZE server will go down unannounced. The host has to make a change the box so we can go forward with some testing. When someone notices, please let an BD know then say it on the shoutbox and here. That way we don't get flooded with the same message.

I'm an idiot! I was taking it from the servers tab up top thinking that was up to time!

[SpikedRocker]

Lol yeah we can't use the servers page just yet. That's what I am working towards to fix

Well maybe they'll get to what they are supposed to do tomorrow. Sorry for the delay and the potential unexpected outage.
