Hi All,
Lucky B33f and I have been working on purchasing some new dedicated servers and upgrading all of the game server hosts. It's finally time, and I have purchased a new server. It's not the one that will be running Altis Life permanently, but due to certain circumstances we needed to purchase this one first. It will hold Altis Life temporarily while we move stuff around, and when the move is done we will work on Altis Life's more permanent home next.
During this time we will be testing a few performance tweaks, and are hoping that they will fix the mass BattlEye kicks. Since we are dropping the current server for this new one I will need to turn all services off while I move them to prevent data loss, and to ensure all services are moved over correctly. The plan is for an afternoon outage today where Teamspeak, the database and AltisLife will be moved over, the sooner this happens the better for everyone.
After Altis Life and Teamspeak are moved over and working correctly more of the back-end and staff tools will be moved over on Thursday night.
Finally, all services will be down while I set it up properly on Friday, and come Saturday morning it should all be running as normal again.
TL:DR Here are some estimated outages while we migrate the current Altislife dedicated server. Wednesday: 8pm - 2am Downtime for initial transfer.
Services effected (Altis Life, TCAdmin, Staff Tools, Wasteland, Altis Life, All Project, Lab and Dev servers, Teamspeak, Website based tools, (Maybe I&A)) Thursday:
8pm - 12am Downtime for importing several services.
Services effected (Altis Life, TCAdmin, Teamspeak) Friday: 8pm - 2am Downtime for anything not completed on Thursday. NOTES:
All times are server time - AEDT.
Please note that during these above times Lucky B33f and Red will not be contactable, except by Managers if critical.
