Posted June 5, 2020 There will be an extended downtime on June 11th at 1pm UTC while we take the servers down and move Celebration to a new hosting provider. Since this is a trial run, I will refrain from delving too far into the details of the provider and only say that I’ve been impressed with their knowledge and willingness to learn about Wurm’s needs. I’ve worked closely with them for a number of weeks now and I have confidence that we will be impressed with the result of this test. Once Celebration has been running successfully on this new provider, we will announce everything and answer any questions. I can’t wait to do a deep dive post on what we’ll be doing for hosting and how it will all work. For now, happy Wurming! Update: Celebration has moved! 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like Hetzner or OVH where you put money in the vending machine and get a server out. They do monitoring and support as well. 13 hours ago, Nomadikhan said: Sucks to be the test rat, but I guess that's how it goes 😕 Hopefully this helps. Celebration is being selected for this because it's not running as well as we'd like on AWS. Given the benchmarks on the new host, I suspect Celebration will be running quite well post-move. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 9, 2020 Celebration is already inaccessible from Exodus: [23:38:58] An enourmous shark scouts you from below. Also cannot plot there. Not even in the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2020 As much as I'd be pleased to sort Celebration out first, surely Xanadu has suffered for a lot longer. If the hosting sorted that out, the other servers would be a breeze Or is Xanadu's lag nothing to do with the hosting? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can plot from Pristine to Cele so it seems Exo / Cele connection is broken. I dare not to cross though from there either ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be fixed now, it happened due to the crash Exodus had last night - that broke the link between Exodus and Celebration that we were able to restore now without restarting the servers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 9, 2020 Still not able to receive mail from Exo to Cele at this point of writing. Thanks for the head's up, Keenan. Will take note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured as much reading in on their twitter and what people talked about they offer simple services like the ones on their site and also go beyond for those who need more so seems like a better choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xanadu's hamster wheel is bigger so the hamster gets tired quicker and has to do more intermittent stops. That's what causes.the lag. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 We're aware of and working on a connectivity issue with Celebration. Please refrain from travel to that server until we've resolved the issue. You *will* be unable to play if you sail to Celebration at this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 11, 2020 After a short session - maybe less than an hour there is 0 lag on Cele \o/ No refreshing...., no waiting to open my doors. So far looks awesome. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2020 I can drop large quantities of dirt for terraforming without ANY server lag now. This is great! Much appreciation to you Keenan for your tireless efforts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2020 I will admit the lag has bothered me to the point I don't play much.... I can't wait to jump back in this weekend. The feedback seems great, so nice you have resolved this! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2020 Looking really good on Celebration this morning. Zero lag as far as I can see. Nice work @Keenan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2020 It's totally smooth, no container lag, no door lag, nothing. It's beautiful. How about doing the x2 skill for a few days to celebrate? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
