And we're back.

Updates and upgrades were broadly successful.  Probably nothing you'll notice tbh, sorry to say :(

Some minor points about this specific time period that you may notice are:

Times of things that were set to occur in the window between 0500 server-time and now (about 0800) may be "off" from what you expected.  ie, if something was due to complete at 0535, it might say it completed at 0742 instead.  Don't worry, though!  It all completed in the linear order in which things were supposed to complete.  All I'm saying is that you may find "clumps of timestamps of things completing that were due to be more spread out across the downtime window".  This should have little to no impact on anything, except...

... it is possible that some cotters or herbalists that were due to return during this period *may* have farmed some patches of herbs and grapes to extinction.  I'm sure some of you remember this from the last time the harvesting respawn "jammed".  We certainly do!  Which is why we will be comparing before and after snapshots and will return any accidentally over-harvested resource patches back to the locations they occupied before the scheduled downtime began.  This will happen momentarily.

Many, many thanks for your patience.

Regards,

SC

lol, I just changed a large number of people's roles, in my alliance, The Han Dynasty, but I hadn't sent out the IGM yet explaining it. Hopefully they won't notice!

Looks like Nikon has found a spamhammer loophole.

And we're off to the races, sadly ending our 937 days of uninterrupted uptime!

Should the upgrades and patches take less time than 4 hours, and we're happy with everything then we'll return the server to service when it's ready.

Please do, however, bear in mind that our ISP still has the full 4 hour window for their Core Edge firewall upgrades, so even if we do return early, it's possible that there might still be some hiccups as the ISP upgrades their hardware (although they've indicated that they think downtime is unlikely).  We'll keep you posted if this occurs.

Best,

SC
