Current Server Issues

[Fredy]

As everyone knows, our current server provider has massive issues with DDoS attacks and network stability, which is leading to outages and weird bugs that never used to happen before.
We already ordered a new server at a different host, which will be in London so the ping should be very good.
However, the server will take ~2 weeks to be ready, so until then we have to find a way to bridge the period.
We have the two options

1. Keep the current server for two weeks and deal with the problems
2. Temporarily switch to a different server. It is a bit risky and the player count will suffer significantly. However, it should be a much better experience for everyone. There is also the risk that we encounter similar issues and have to switch again.

Let me know what you think. We are of course sorry that the playing experience has been this bad in the past few weeks, but sadly it was mostly out of our hands.

Option 3. Make 2servers split the player base so I can totally not raid 4 times an hour. (I totally don't do that already)

Other benefits - Normal FPS, less lag. thank you fredster.

For shits and giggles why not run the Evocity server again for those two weeks like a few years ago?

 

[King von]

i think staying like this is better since it only happens one time in day until the new server is up

would be awesome! +more players can experience the perp gamemode on evo

I feel like there'll still be less players if we stay on the same server so switching it would probably be the best choice here

altough evocity won't support the current player count, probs will go down to 70 player limit

I'd actually love that. I wasn't playing for several years around the time this was happening, and while I hear mixed things about how good it was, I reckon switching for a few weeks until the server is sorted would be a nice change of pace.

Option 1 just deal with the issue for two more weeks instead of the possibility of running into more bugs and issue with trying to doing a temp server IMO

Option 2 would be a lot better, just lower the player slots for 2 weeks on the temp server so we don't have an unplayable experience in the meantime due to these ddos attacks.

My thoughts exactly

When you change servers, everything is changed, the map, etc

everything'll be the same it's just the server that is changing

 

[syliezone]

And when is the temp sv going to open?

everything'll be the same it's just the server that is changing
