18/04/2011 Update - The server is running and stable. The IP is 81.88.24.200:7777. Also you may have noticed the forum is back to normal.

Hey everyone,

I'll be using this topic to keep everyone updated on the status of migration, basically telling you how long it will be until you can play on your favourite server again!d
You have been warned, this may be a lengthy process, however we're optimistically hoping for the server to be online within around 72 hours.

The current plan is to restore a backup image of the server/forums on the new server, of course, all new posts made after this image will be lost, so don't go writing your life story on here.
The server will first be installed on the french server, whilst the forums will reside on the English server. This may prove to be horrible to set up, but we'll give it a go. In theory, this will give us an extremely fast gaming and forum experience, with a 1gbit server connection; that's 10x faster than our old server!

Currently, I haven't ballsed anything up yet.
That being said, I haven't really started migration yet.
Ah well, check back to see how things are going, and remember to spread the word that WoS is back!


Elliot.



Update 1: 07/01/2011.
The server backup has been successfully created. After quickly downloading it, i've extracted it to the horror that it's about 3.5GB uncompressed. I'll begin the process of sending this to the new servers today, which should be bundles of joy

Update 2: 07/01/2011
Surprisingly, I've managed to upload the extreme package quite easily, and I've produced a backup of the forums. I'll just need to install the web server side of things, then i'll restore the forum. Simples.

*puts a life story here* jk Well gl with moving and stuff :')
