Tuesday at 19:00 GMT, 11am US Pacific, Achaea will be down.
This will last a few hours. We'll keep you informed via the
forums at http://forums.achaea.com/.

Remember how we had a load testing day on another server? This
was to determine how we could move to a new hosting service
provider (HSP). We have got that all figured out now!

This is the big move to a new HSP. All IRE games are moving.
It should benefit us in speed and reliability.

Backups, which on Achaea run every 20 minutes or so, generally
cause a 5-15 second lag, on our current HSP. On the new HSP,
backups were causing 1-2 second lags. The same performance
gains were seen for loadsources, which is where we introduce
new features (and which often happen several times daily).

We should see some reliability and customer support
responsiveness and quality gains as well.

It's going to be hard for a few hours, but we believe it will
to for everybody's ultimate benefit. And a big THANK YOU to
our players, the greatest players anybody ever had, for your
ongoing support of Achaea.
