Webserver Downtime (August 1 10:30Pm Cest - August 2 7:30Am Cest)

[Rolf 3,563]

Just a reminder that the web server will be down between 10:30pm CEST today until 7:30am CEST tomorrow.

In case you wish to play during this downtime you should start the client before and log on the game servers, which will not be affected:

The start of operations at our innovative and energy-efficient

data center park in Nuremberg necessitate a restructuring of

our infrastructure.

This will enable us to continue to provide you with a reliable

and high-performance management of your servers and accounts.

We are therefore planning to move servers from their current

location in Falkenstein to our newly commissioned data center

park in Nuremberg during the night of 01.08.2012 to 02.08.2012.

This means these services will not be available from 10.30 pm

CEST

to approx. 7.30 am CEST (max).

So as to prevent the loss of any data and to minimize the

write/read access to the hard disk drive, the network will be

disconnected from 10.15 pm onwards.

As soon as normal operations have resumed at the new location,

all servers will be checked for functionality.

You can check the current CEST time here if you live elsewhere.

Thanks for 2 hours notice, would it be too much to ask for more next time

I knew this was happening and yet I had trouble finding out where it was posted. A topic named "Lag gone!" - not really fair to call that your two weeks notice.

Unfortunately the login servers seem to be down as well, so even though I have the client I can't log in. Guess I'll play tomorrow, hopefully with the sleep bonus you guys promised in that one topic with the really obscure name. No need to search for it, it's really there.

I'm not addicted to Wurm! 10+ hours of downtime? Pfft! Piece of cake! Not a problem!

I knew I set the alarm clock this morning for a reason. Alarm went off, I woke up, rubbed my eyes said out loud "Why did I set my alarm, I have nothing to do today." Rolled over went back to sleep, woke up 2 hours later grabbed my tea, sat down at the laptop, clicked on wurm... No launch... Looked at the computer as if I was scooby doo... Went to wurm site, opened up this article and went:

I instantly remembered why I had set the alarm to go off.

Sorry if there wasnt enough notice, if anything happens like this again i'll try to get more out in the days running up.

Methinks this is a sign that logging into the game and the webserver should not be inter-dependent. D:

[Brash_Endeavors 4,735]

I just logged into the game?

A fluke window of opportunity or are they done early?

looks to be done early.

See, sometimes it pays to sit there mashing that button even when you know its useless, "just in case..."

sounds like what people do when a beta's login server goes down / 2 hours before it's even supposed to be up

[Wossoo 1,915]

Yep its now up

[Wiro 370]

Something went wrong while handing out the 5 hours of sleep bonus I'm afraid.

[Wossoo 1,915]

Well the game servers would have had to go down for that or at least be inaccessible for more than 5 hours or something... (this is an opinion not a promise for future downtimes)

[Wiro 370]

In all seriousness it would be just the thing to make up for lost game time in the future. The system currently only hands (or is supposed to hand out) sleep bonus when there's a crash or something like that I believe.

Thanks for having the downtime while I am at work!
