Hey guys! It's finally happening, sorry for the delay!
The database is currently being transferred to the new drives and will be back up as soon as possible. We expect no more than a few hours of downtime. I will update this thread when the server is back up and there are no issues.
Also: Compensation will be happening! Double Double promo will be back on as well as Quad Frenzy activated with a reasonable amount of hours. (Still being decided, but it will be a good amount no worries.)
Thank you for your patience, we expect the lag to be nearly gone after the transfer but we'll be monitoring for any issues.
Edit: The first phase of the new install has been completed; the new drives will be brought online sometime tomorrow. A short downtime may (or may not!) be announced. This means we're still using the temporary drive but you can continue playing for now, the rest of the transfer will hopefully go smoothly and not require much more downtime. Also, the compensation will start when the transfer is fully completed, thanks again for your patience!
Update: They're ready to move things over now, hopefully the downtime won't last that long!
Update2: It looks like everything is going smoothly and we're back up and running on the new drives now, if any issues arise hopefully they'll be minor. But for now we should be good to go! Please report any odd behavior in the Bug Reports forum, especially if you're having connection/lag issues. Thanks and see you in game!
