We are planning a shard clean up this weekend and making some hardware upgrades to the server.  I don't have an exact eta for the downtime yet, but I will post here asap

Please take the time to delete any items you don't need on the shard.  Clean out your bank boxes, houses and packs

Please remove any vendors you are not using.  We will be removing any inactive vendors and cleaning up the vendor malls and condensing them to smaller areas.  We are encouraging the private player vendor malls and diminishing the public gm run malls this month to create a true player based economy

We will continue removing old accts/houses to make room for new players

We will also be making server upgrades this month to accomodate the increase in the playerbase.  There have been many shards that have closed in the past few months and we have had a huge increase in new players.  We broke 500+ players this month during the Black Friday weekend and holiday events.

We will be adding 4 more new cores, 8gb more RAM and 30gb of SSD which will increase the speed and reduce any lag, along with making the save times faster

I will post more info soon

Thank you for the upgrades! I have been left thinking my client froze waiting for the 30s world saves. Keep up the great work!


Yes I saw that last save, so we immediately started planning a massive upgrade to handle the server population growth.  Since October/Halloween to Christmas we increased our population by about 33%.  We are going to double our capacity asap!

We are working on the Upgrades now and will be down for a short period.  I will announce a new ETA as soon as I know ty


That downtime was short and sweet!  We are done with today's SSD upgrades!

We will be down shortly to upgrade the RAM today which will significantly increase the shard's capacity to handle the population explosion over the past 3 months.  This upgrade will easily handle 500+ players and still have plenty of room to grow!


We are Evolving!


The upgrades to the server are done, and we even had time to add the content updates today!

thnx for the hardware upgrade...i think i will donate next time to support the staff in his work.
