HOTFIX 09/28: NA/EU, 7:30 AM PDT (14:30 UTC), *2 Hours*

[TrionBrasse]

ALL servers will come down tomorrow, Friday, Sept 28/18, at 7:30 AM PDT (14:30 UTC) for an urgent Hotfix.

The primary purpose of the downtime is to awaken Crucia on Prime in time for Storm Legion next week, and starting with Exodus of the Storm Queen.

As all of the code is connected, all servers must bow down before the Storm Queen. Seriously, who allowed her to have so much power? Even Regulos is skeered of her!

The downtime is estimated to be **2 HOURS**
We will update if anything changes!

thanks for the advance notice Brasse, also got a question though....I thought though Prime was physically located on NA servers it was on its own separate shard/cluster so is that not the case?

Only asking as would have thought that as the changes are to Prime only that it should not require all shards to be brought down to implement the change to the Prime shard?

ofc I may have this derriere backwards so to speak

And I only ask because you know....curious!

Separate servers yes, but for reasons of magical code beyond the ken of a mere Dwarf, all background services are impacted, and it is much easier to pull them all down and put them all back up at the same time.

thanks for update Brasse.

It sounds as though you could do with setting up a separate physical server for your non Live instances (Prime, Prime2, etc) that way you don't have to take everything down each time, unless of course you are also doing some retrograde updates to SL content on Live as well in which case you would need to reconfig and then reboot in any case?

Will be interesting to see the live patch notes following this update
