Feldon A surprising post from SmokeJumper yesterday caught our attention regarding New Hardware:
The server hardware is coming in in chunks as we ship it to the various data centers around the world.
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 already upgraded late last summer to new 64-bit hardware.
Wait, what..? These servers were upgraded with no significant downtime? That’s unexpected isn’t it? Shame it wasn’t Unrest and Splitpaw though, the two Smokejumper acknowledged in March were the ones most in need 🙁
