Greetings to all our beloved players!

Tomorrow, at 11pm PDT, will be a special day!
We're moving west servers to newer hardware, yay!b:victory

All the West Servers will be down for approx. 3 hours.
However, we'll try and reduce that time with all our GM powers.

This upgrade should improve many latency problems,
Which will reduce any future game-causing tantrums.

Everything is aimed to be wrapped up by 3am PDT.
We'll be working hard to this goal; we have coffee!

Still... we can use your prayers.

-The PWI Team

Update 3:00 PDT. The migration is taking longer than we had expected. We're now expecting a 2-hour delay. Stay tuned for more updates.
Update 5:00 PDT. We encountered a problem with the servers that will require a restart to fix. The current project endtime is 5:30.

    Yes, 11pm to 3 am is 4hrs. You did math correctly there. But DoD said they plan to have everything done in 3hrs, I assume that last hour is to make sure stuff is actually working the way its supposed to be. But it could just be for a GM party for shiggles and gits. Who knows but glad to see that the servers are finally getting some much needed attention.

    Well if they took up this decision to upgrade the hardware of West Coast servers maybe it really needs renovation or else they won't make such decision it costs money.     b:surrender

    Increasing Server's capacity, upgrading HD,RAM etc i guess. I think they're doing this to merge servers in near future? b:surrender

    *recalling a quote from 'Hey You' about server v server NWs not being possible with the current servers*

    Hope this means we're getting server v. server soon to make that giant map less pointless.

    You are correct, we want it done right
    This way no one will have a fright

    To allay any misconceptions
    Each server name will be the same
    But with improved connections

    According to what I currently know
    The answer to that question is no.
    However...
    Farther down the line?
    Anything is possible with time.

    I bet you get this often, but I love your rhymes!
    It brings me a smile every single time.
    Though I am sad as I'm one of many east-coast players
    I will hope that you will not forget about these servers.
