But the good news is…Permafrost and Oasis are now upgraded, as of this morning. More are coming soon! We’ve already received indication that the rest of the hardware is already on order. Russian servers will not be upgraded as the hardware is relatively new (2007) while the current EQ2 servers were on 2004 hardware. Note these are the game servers and zone servers. The database servers were...
