iRO Renewal Weekly Maintenance

August 29th, 10:00AM - 8:00PM PDT

 

During the maintenance the game will be moving to newer servers. We expect this to add extra time to the maintenance due to the need to transfer the data. This means that today's client patch cannot be skipped.

This is unrelated but posting it here is better than starting a topic about it. Your SSL Certificate is about to expire and for some of us who are already on 29th, it shows up as an error that requires us to either continue anyway or add an exception.

Yes got a question. Two months already and no "weekly" FAQ thread (eventually you remove the weekly part and move somehow to a month basis, but now its year basis?). Will you continue on copy/paste Maintenance thread without confirm if you indeed will do the FAQ Thread?

 

Claim for a new FAQ Thread or remove it from the patch notes, have no sense.

I don't get the reason for 10 hour maintenances that stretch till 11pm at night... you'd think everything would be prepared on a test server prior to implementation, and maybe an hour or two to double check for bugs. At this rate, Thursdays are basically "you can't play" days for all EST players.

As someone who has worked in IT for years building and maintaining servers for companies, I can tell you this: if the server migration involves moving the server data to a new storage device, copying files can only go so fast. I've had migrations where a company bought a new SAN and we had to copy the data over the network from the old storage array to the new one. Multiple terabytes of data can take many, many, many hours to move. If you are working with tons and tons of tiny files, it could even take multiple days to move if you are verifying the data once it gets to the new storage device.

 

Having a test server in cases like that really just gives you a pretty good estimate of how many hours you are going to be waiting for the data migration to finish. It won't speed up the copy process of all the production data you still have to move.

 

So yes, an extended maintenance for a server migration is not an unreasonable expectation.
