Monday, March 30 Datacenter Move

[SIG]

The DDO game servers will be offline on Monday, March 30 from 3:00AM - 5:00PM EST (-4 GMT) while the servers and all supporting systems are moved to a new datacenter. I look forward to see everyone in after the move. Have a great rest of the weekend.

...for giving us this information. I hope the new move works out and please be more open with information in the future. A little goes a long way.

YAY! If this really fixes the lag you won't hear a single complaint for a days worth of downtime.

...hear complaints. That is just human nature.

So you are finally admitting it was your fault? Wow. Thanks for the heartfelt apology for misdirecting us for nearly a year now (not that I see actually one here!).

They have for quite some time indicated part of the problem was on their end...

Good luck with everything SIG (and team).

Seems kind of laggy today.... almost like the current data center just doesn't care anymore...

when you move to the new data center where will it be? will the new caps come out soon? it would be awesome if major lag were a thing of the past~good luck!!

Best of luck with the move! AND thank you for continuing to support and improve this game and related services over the years.

I'm still hooked!

I know that this is a bit of a silly question, but has anyone asked/been answered if the downtime will mess with or effect the following?

1) raid timers
2) auctions/timers on auctions
3) mail box timers

Any info would be nice, just makes things easier if we know what is going on with these as well.

I believe none of the timers run while the worlds are disabled.... based on every past update. Though I guess it would be nice if raid timers ticked.

While the worlds are up but not available (testing, configuration, etc) the timers all run. While the worlds are down, the timers stops. That means that the timers will likely advance somewhat during the down time, but not for the full time.

Does this mean I will stop losing comms except for the /tell in raids?

No it does not mean the comms loss and disconnects will cease.
