Five Hundred Regions Being Rerouted Wednesday a.m. Pacific
On Wednesday morning, February 11th, at approximately 3am PST, we will be changing the networking of some servers that host approximately 500 regions currently on the grid.
Those regions will have presence issues, Residents will not be able to enter or exit them, and Residents in them will not be able to access inventory, for possibly as long as 30 minutes (but probably closer to 5 minutes).
Any time a region restarts, it comes back on the first available host of that hardware class, so it is not possible for us to predict which regions will be affected this far in advance. We will be announcing in each affected region before the outage starts.
If the scope or schedule of the work changes, or if we get more information, we’ll post here.
