| Post subject: | Server move |
Hello, This weekend we will start moving Amia from the current server to the new one. I am not 100% sure what the order and exact dates will be, but I think this is a nice prediction (I use server standard time): 1. On Saturday morning we will lock the forums completely, clean up some old stuff, and export the database. This takes about two hours. 2. We download the database export on the new server and open one forum on the old server which you can use as a chat room. Nothing posted in there will be moved to the new server. 3. Once the new forums are up and running and tested we close the old forum again and redirect you to the new server. 4. On Sunday we'll start running and testing the NWN server. When we think it's properly working I'll shut down NWN on both servers and start exporting the vault, archives, database, ect. That's a lot of data so I guess the game will be offline for a few hours. |

Haha, is that to help some people retain what's left of their sanity, during the downtime?

It's a good way to prevent our MSNs from being spammed silly with questions, yes. |

... well, if someone spams enough to put the server on its knees, that's a bit too much. So be moderate with your spamming. |

No need to recreate accounts or anything. I doubt you even need to upload avatars again. |

Yes, unless something unexpected happens. You'll be redirected at first, and notified if something unexpected happens regarding the address. |

Disco has a backup, in case something goes wrong. I can take another, if it makes you feel better.

Actually, I usually makes back-ups of my characters, too. It has just been a while since the last time I did. :P |

Disco's out to get me I swear, all because I made those The Great Chicken Will Destroy You! jokes.

If we say it'll be working perfectly by then we'll have a mob of angry players knocking on our doors on Sunday if it doesn't. |

I think you'll survive a day or two without Amia, especially considering the effort they're going through to re-establish the server elsewhere. Just find somethin' else to do, and when it's up, then it's up.

Just find somethin' else to do, and when it's up, then it's up. 8) I will, silly. It is just that I am trying to schedule something with Gers and the day he suggested was Sunday. And it is one of those situations to decide the life of PC, that the sooner it is solved, the better. So, if it does not work Sunday, I will reschedule it for the next week, or before the server move. I tend to stay days away from Amia, then I stay days on Amia... I will be fine. I am just anxious to solve this situation. xD |

Disco has to drag the server to the train and break his back... if you want to show your appreciation for the efforts, there's that donation button in the sidebar. The server isn't in danger of going down because the hosting fees are quite reasonable, but that doesn't mean we absolutely want to pay and do all the work by ourselves. 
$5's is a lot of money when it comes to server hosting, but a small sum to an individual! We actually get less bang for each $, since the colocation fees are paid in euros now, but decided to keep the donations in dollars nonetheless because it's a lot cheaper overall. $5 is 4.50 euros. It's the cost of one beer at the pub! |

In the Netherlands, not too far from Amsterdam. |

Question, when the server move is complete, will the rest of the Haks be implemented and/or usable? Or will we wait a few days or weeks later? I remember someone saying that to not expect the rest of the changes until the move, I think it was Mahtan? |

There's no one day when you'll suddenly see them all over Amia, but they'll be implemented as new stuff gets added or old stuff gets updated. |

Ahhh, alright, I was hinking they;d all just pop in one day lol ^^. So we'll just start seeing different Haks become part of the game over time |

I have a few items waiting to be added. Nothing spectacular, though. The weapons are a bit of a pain in my bum, I am still brooding on a way to add them. Server will be here. It's the 'E' on the map. It's not that close to Amsterdam at all, but the train station has a very nice connection to my house. I guess I have to walk about 700 meters from door to door. |

Not easily. There's not much of a system in them. I am thinking about changing the lootbin items and just allow you to change the colours, not the forms. |
