Scheduled Downtime
 
We will be taking the server offline for about 4-6 hours to move servers to a better one with an updated operating system.  We have had several hardware issues and operating system incompatabilities since we have been back online and are attempting to stablize the shard uptime.  We have worked out all the upgrades and details and should be a smooth transition. 
 
We will be down starting at 6am-10am, hopefully shorter.  I will post any updates here
9:00am We were not able to complete our upgrades this morning, we ran into a few complications.  We will have to complete at a later date.  We will announce the new date soon.  We are online today, no downtime planned

Slight change in plans...

As we were going over the last minute checklist of things we noticed a slight flaw.  So we are addressing those flaws at this moment and will keep everyone informed because there will still be a complete server upgrade but we need to make sure that we do not loose anything and we improve our current serves being offered to those of you who call Evolution home.

However we still have crashes to fix.....

Once we decided on this course of action, I started working on a plan B.  Plan B is already in action as we speak as of about 30 minutes ago.  The current problem is there seems to be a stack overflow in the Core of runuo and when it crashes it closes the console with no messages or clue as to what the problem is.  We currently have a small program attached to the RunUO process that is waiting for this crash and should start producing data as to what functions are being called when it happens.   Not only do I apologize for these crashes but I also ask for you to be patient and understanding, we are working on this as our priority and will solve this issue.

Thank you

We will be down for at least an hour, we are adding updates and doing a complete server backup in preparation of our server move and operating system upgrades
 
We should be back up shortly, thank you
