Unexpected Downtime Update

[Emily]

Hi everyone,

 

We know many of you have been waiting for an update, and we want to be as transparent as possible. As you’re aware, the recent downtime was not something we were informed about or given advance warning for, but we are doing everything we can to get the servers back online as soon as possible.

 

We are actively working with our service provider, and preparations are in progress. Based on the current timeline, we expect to have everything back online by Friday. This has been a difficult situation, and we know it’s far from ideal for anyone.

 

If anything changes, we’ll make sure to update you as soon as possible.

 

Thank you for your patience.

I still expect patch notes today for what would have been tomorrows update. Also, is the server provider able to hurry up and plug the ethernet cord back in?

[RoxieBragg]

So this has been down for 2 days? The discord shows the announcement being on the 2nd.... 

[JohnM450]

Well...

 

That was unexpected to say the least and that's unfortunate. Hopefully something like that happen again, the server provider gets the idea to inform you beforehand...

 

As for the actual situation, I guess it's good to take some much needed vacation from this game, oh man.

To be fair, I think that I won't be playing for a bit. Got burned off this game bad in November, came back last month and slowly getting back to that point again... Still not decided on what I will be doing.

[AquaSensei]

This can turn into an idea tho....Voted for by those per server Jericho or Citadel as a way to deter toxic and try hards and to get people to relax. When ya dont have a choice to do so, its only then that you actually go outside lol. My fav game don't get me wrong, but this break isn't that serious. PS>>>Migration for ARK long time ago took about a month.

Oh yeah... I get that! It's been a love/hate relationship since forever.

What exactly is migration of a server, is it the uploading of game from one 

hardware device to another, or is the physical office/building/company moving to 

another location?

 Then you wonder if the game will run good afterwards or worse.

Last time this happened it was about a week or more, and then required another day 

down for maintenance to run right. 

We may as well figure that friday wont be the day, and prepare for a lengthy wait.

Server migration is the process of moving a server’s data, applications, and configurations from one location to another. This could mean transferring a game or certain code date from one physical hardware to another, shifting to a new data center, same applies for online multiplayer services from what I understand or even moving everything to a cloud service. It’s not about physically relocating an office or company, but rather ensuring that digital operations continue smoothly on to a new system or updated system. Think of it like you are trying to move a house or furniture—you pack everything up, transport it carefully, and set it up in a new place, hoping everything works as it should before finally just getting comfy. But instead of furniture, its codes, services, basically techy stuff... Its... kind of something like that in simple terms, but the migration of a game is not that easy to explain. Thats just a simple explanation.

 

I hope that helps, hun.

Saw discord announcements. 

shows some changes to wf for V-day, also shows a pic of the options/movement menu. 

And on that menu i see settings for auto sprint.

 So, is that for everyone or just for those with the special config???

Said it will be with the V-day update.
