New server hardwer - Double exp and godly points!
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:17 am
If you see this, you are reading the new forums on the new server. 
Huge update went live today, please take your time to read.
To celebrate the new THF home we'll run Double exp and godly points until Tuesday morning!
We are glad to announce that we are done migrating THF services to the new server hardware in the new datacenter!
These changes should greatly improve the quality of game server and web services even further. We really hope everyone will enjoy and like the new home of THF, lot's of preparation and work was put into it.
For the visual types, this is the room where THF is hosted:
To enjoy the improvements you should not have to do anything but to log on and play, nothing should be changed client side, the migration should be transparent to you.
Some of our domain names were redirected to the new physical location of the server so it might take some time until they get up to date worldwide. If you would have any trouble reaching the THF login server, please temporary use the 195.5.177.21 ip in your eqhost.txt file, instead of login.thehiddenforest.org (port numbers are the same). See the example below.
[LoginServer]
Host=195.5.177.21:5998
# Host=login.thehiddenforest.org:5998
If you would have any other issue please don't hesitate to post and ask for assistance.
Now that the sever background is considered to be final, we can work again with full force on content development.
Some misc changes:
The following items got more unique inventory look, while they will also look like being part of a "set" now:
o Sune's Vambraces of Eternal Life
o Aphrodite's Gauntlets of Desire
o Aeolus, Boots of the Wind
o Disguise of the Assassin
o Ice Crystal Wristguard
o Fire Crystal Wristguard
Last but not least please join us to congratulate guild <Forest Rebels> for defeating (server first) the Tier 8 zone, Nadox!
Enjoy the server,
The THF team
