IRE-Wide Server Downtime

Written by: Uilani, the Loom Mistress

Addressed to: Everyone


Our ISP is moving all of our machines soon - that's all of IRE's games - and the estimated downtime window we have been given is 8 hours. We're really hoping that's just a safety net and it won't actually take 8 hours, unless someone over there is actually going be copying contents of the machine in binary through a toaster input. So fingers crossed it takes much less time.

The start of the downtime is scheduled for 3am GMT on October 15th, that's October 14th at 10pm Central Time for a lot of you. I've scheduled an event on Discord to bring this to your attention. The game might be up before the event on Discord ends but we're not sure if one of us will be around at the time to end it early - most of us will be asleep.

When the time comes, ideally a few minutes before, get yourselves to a safe place in the game. When the game comes back up, do not immediately launch into Grimkeep. Give it a few minutes to make sure everything is stable and it is not just the ISP still fiddling with things. The games reboot automatically so it could be a false start.

See you on the other machine!
