Greetings all! This is to let you know that Nagafen, Butcherblock, and Lucan D'Lere will be down from Midnight PDT tonight (October 19th) until Noon PDT Tuesday October 20th, while the team migrates Nagafen (only!) to the new DB structure. As you all know from last week, the migration process did a little wonkiness with some of the longer character files. In order to prevent this from happening again, Nagafen will be migrated by hand. During this downtime, bonus exp will be enabled on Venekor and our Nagafen players are encouraged to make alts over there to take advantage of the exp boost. We'll also look into having the mushroom rings extended on the affected servers so that no one misses out. The plan is then for the server merge between Nagafen and Venekor to take place on Thursday (more details on that will be forthcoming). We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
Update: Good news all! We look to be on schedule for noon and from what I understand everything is going as planned. Butcherblock and Lucan are being migrated as well, now, as things are going so smoothly. So that means shiny new databases for all three servers As previously mentioned, the Moonlight Enchantment event will be extended for these servers (and others as well because gnomes got into the works!). Thank you again for your patience while we migrate the databases for these servers and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Update: Things are still going well, however it is looking like it's going to take a bit longer than we had originally anticipated. We're now looking at an uptime of around 4pm PDT. If we need to adjust the time again, we will be sure to update this thread. Thank you again for your patience.
Update: The downtime for Nagafen, Butcherblock, and LDL has been extended to around 10pm PDT this evening. We apologize for the extended downtime. As a result of this, the team has already extended the Moonlight Enchantments event an extra day to make up for all the time that these servers will be missing. Thank you again for your continued patience.
All 3 servers are currently up and locked while our QA department goes through the normal testing process to confirm everything looks good after the upgrade. We are specifically testing characters and guild halls on each of the three servers that had problems copying over last time. So far those are loading fine so everything is looking great. I'm hoping that we will be ready to bring the servers up within the hour.
Hey all! We are smoketesting the servers right now before we open them back up. Right now it looks as though we'll have them up around 7:00pm PDT. We'll let you know if that changes.
We are going to begin unlocking servers as QA completes their test. It looks like Butcherblock will be coming up in a few minutes.
