We will be having more downtime. It may have been buried a bit in ⁠general at this point, but we are expecting to have at least 2 more periods where we need to take the games down to resolve the issues that occurred during our original shutdown earlier this week.

We will likely be moving everything to a backup in the next hour or so, we’ll start messaging in game when this is happening.

Next week, we will be moving to brand new drives, a new configuration, and everything we’ll be fully transitioned to the new office site.

If anything changes, I’ll be sure to announce it. I’ll also have some announcements about our plan for the downtime shortly (i.e. GIFTBOX, EVENT BOX, etc).
