Downtime - Sat 24th Jan 2015

[Naozumi]

All services are now back online


In order to further improve the systems that run NI we are scheduling some downtime on Saturday morning GMT.

Follow us on twitter for the fastest updates: https://twitter.com/NordInvasion

Times

0900 - 2200 GMT/UTC (hopefully - sorry its taking longer than expected!)

What is happening

We are doing some massive upgrades with a view to increasing the performance of the systems, specifically the database.

This is likely to last a couple of hours as it will involve massive backups and reshuffling of systems and data. During this time all EU servers, websites and databases will be offline. This also means that no equipment or loot will be handed out to players on AU or NA servers. Additionally the primary teamspeak server will be offline. We may have a backup working - check back here for details as we will keep you posted if it's available.

When the services are back up we will update this thread, IRC and the forum as a whole. I have included a chart to help users understand the impact.


Downtime Systems Affected:

Systems work is still ongoing. Apologies but this will run much longer than anticipated.

Current ETA: 9pm GMT - [countdown=1,24,2015,21,00]Standby for update[/countdown]

So when this is done, are there any changes we'll notice, or is it mainly behind the scenes stuff?

[Naozumi]

It's mostly behind the scenes stuff but it should improve the responsiveness of the game servers and the website.

Also, teamspeak back online

Do these improvements also affect the cavalry servers? Would be a good move, as you often get teleported while riding.

[Mr Killer]

Does this also help fps potentially or will it not affect things like that?

[-Perception-]

Fps are based on the performance of your computer and the modfiles (e.g. filesize, texture resolutions, etc.).
So nope, your fps will most likely be the same.

After bumping?Thats rubberbanding,blame warband for that,havent seen any mod fixing that so far,so I doubt that will be fixed with a better server.
