A new home is being given to Redemption, Ruin, Exile, and the PTR - a newer, faster server. Keep your attention on this post for current information on how the move is going. Downtime for each realm will be approximately 1 hour.

PTR - DONE
Redemption - DONE
Ruin - DONE
Exile - DONE


Update by Cyph3r:

The upgrade is a purchase of a new very powerful box that the realms listed above area being moved to:

• 1x - 6 Core - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz (Board has another empty socket available for quick expansion)
• 8x - 15K RPM (6Gbps) 300GB SAS Hard Drives (RAID 6) (Space for another 6 drives available for quick expansion)
• 24GB DDR3 1333 ECC RAM (24GB) (Space for another 24GB of ram for quick expansion)
• 1x - DELL H700 RAID CARD (HUGE HDD PERFORMANCE BOOST!)

This matches the specs of the other box that Eternal and Remorse are on. I do not know for sure that this will resolve the entire lag issue, but I do know it is part of the problem at least, and is a bit overdue.
In addition, I've been working with our host to try to pinpoint any networking issues that may be causing lag mostly to Europeans. But alas, nothing has been discovered. We are taking the measures that we can right now to resolve the issue, and if it continues, will continue to look for causes.

[Sshadess]

[Suhaib]

am i the only one who can not login to the servers? what's wrong? i'm stuck on "Logging into game servers" could it be because of the updates?

[anonym0us]

Is PTR a permanent realm? As in, it's going to be open all the time?

[leon0546]

Thank you staff for doing this, and thank you other donors so staff was able to pay for this :]

[locedafterdark]

You guys rock, but you know that.....
2 things, I hope you read them!
1st: As Istarted to lower the effect settings slightly the lag isnt that hard for me anymore. Also the cleared cache folder helped a bit I think. Client side^^
2nd: A guildie has a very high ping with the ONE account but with the other account his ping is just fine. So this is another client-based problem.

But nevertheless it feels good to know that the lag isnt server-based,and even now the machine is really VERY powerful. Should work for another 2 realms on the same machine I think

thank you staff
