rocket 16567 Posted May 19, 2012 I'm still working on it.Unfortunately, the lull in peak time never happened. And I had forecast that the usual lull would be started now. That isn't happening. So we will try and figure out a way to roll out the patch but it is complicated.There are so many people playing (over 6500) that if we auto-update the servers the reconnect load caused by everyone coming back on within the same period could, well, crash everything. We don't know if it is possible to handle such load, and I don't really want to try.So we're coming up with another plan. But it will be within the next six hours assuming that testing has gone okay.

SixPackAbs 13 Posted May 19, 2012 Could you do a rolling update and just do like 2-3 servers at a time? or would that still bork it :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seaon09 5 Posted May 19, 2012 Good job Rocket, Take your time, I would rather a complete patch tommorow than a patch next hour that implodes the server destroying all the hard work everyone has put into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
