Today we have been informed our servers have to be moved to a new location. The servers are currently located in Amsterdam but they will be moved to Almere.

We will move the servers Wednesday (26-01-2011)! As you can see this is very quick and this news also surprised us a little bit.

This will mean that our website and gameservers will be off-line for a few hours (We think/hope from: 10:00 to 13:00). The IP addresses of the servers should stay the same, if they will change the new IP addresses can be found on our website.

Completed
All servers have been moved to the new location and everything is up and running again. Also we repaired an server that was broken so we can add some new gameservers soon ^^.

What is the diffrence? Higher speed connection? Connected to more internet crosspoints (or in one)?

[KamiKatze]

I don't know, this is not our decision.

[TheSaboteur!]

nahh. that will give mehh some more ping. but atleast they are still online ;D

[Mats]

I don't think it will cause higher pings, its still the highest connection speed possible.

Well I'm back home and the move has gone smoothly. Also the pings look better on my computer.
Any one who has higher ping?

[Rinkana]

Nope. But why where the servers relocated out of the wild?

[Mats]

New location is better and has faster connection + costs less (for the sponsor).

[Rinkana]

Ah, awesome. However i noticed that if you join the server you will get a 100+ ping what goes away after 20-30 sec. It can be me but i did not had this before.
