Downtime notice - Server Migration
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2022 4:37 pm
Citizens of The Forest,
Tomorrow (12.12.2022) we'll have an extended down time for maintenance. Game and web services will be offline or locked during the day for several hours.
We are planning to port the game server and web services over to a virtualized server at the same datacenter where we are hosted right now. This was planned for a long time and should offer some great improvements. If the migration goes well, the new server background should offer faster maintenance (less downtime), easy recovery in case of hardware failure, scalable hardware background based on server load and so on. While this isn't too exciting for players, it's quite a big deal for us server admins. These developments provides us safe and reliable background for our services.
We've been preparing this migration for a while now so hopefully everything will be smooth during the transition. As always, we'll keep you updated here at the forums and on Discord.
