Basilisk maintenance 3/4/13


Over the last few months our database has grown drastically and will soon surpass our server capabilities. It is because of that that certain changes in our database and compression had to be made. Last week they were tested on TC: Nova and now it is time to apply the same changes to Basilisk. This should help save us a lot of space on SSD's, which means we won't be forced to add two additional ones and thus increase our already high monthly expenses.


On Monday March 4th, Basilisk will be taken offline for maintenance. Expected downtime will be approximately the same as the one we had last week, more than 24 hours.


Basilisk will be taken offline for maintenance in 15 minutes (6:35AM EST).



EDIT 1: 8% (11:30AM EST)
EDIT 2: 40% (3:50PM EST)
EDIT 3: 55% (7:00PM EST)
EDIT 4: 65% (9:10PM EST)
EDIT 5: 100% (6:20PM EST)

TheAnswer is going to make another backup of the database and he will boot the server after.

EDIT 6: Basilisk has been ONLINE over 3 hours. All is good in the world... (10:45AM EST)

We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your continuous support.

[s]Do we know what time it will start? I am completely fine with "it will start when it starts" as an answer if need be, just curious if there is a targeted start time.[/s]

Thanks again for everything that everyone involved on the emu project does!

[edit]
I swear I read the post four times before asking, i think Vlada ninja edited on me

For those who can't read, like myself, the time will be announced Monday

Thanks for the heads up!

thanks for doing this during the week

having no Basilisk for the weekend was rough LOL

Does that by any chance mean that changes that're on Nova will be moved over as well? I am sure that's a no, but I ask out of curiosity anyway - waiting for the Commando skill fixes before I decide to go down that road. Appreciate all the work, very well done.

Nope, nothing to do with Publish 3, or Jedi or JTL or CH, BE, DE, Commando or anything else missing for that matter. This is only database related.

[Noxxy7]

Roger that, that's what I figured but was worth asking!

[Iazan]

the urge to qq is strong

[Vlada]
