Title: Server has Migrated Hardware
Post by: Knossos on October 20, 2013, 05:03:56 PM
It's been moved off a gaming machine and onto a server.

What is different?
World saves now take 5-7 seconds, up from the 2-3 on the high performance machine.
Our Saves are now backed up with dual-hard drives and automatically sent off-site via the internets!  SH can not "die because a hard drive was lost".

If you see any issues, extra latency/lag, or any issues, please let me know.

A 5 second save is quite tolerable but frequent crashes are a bit tough to deal with.  Here's to hoping the server crashes are gone and the days of a month online without a crash are back.   Wooot

Is it crashing frequently?  Since I hosted it has crashed once, and it was a player action.

My deepest apologies for this, as it caused several crashes and some down time.  I attempted to move SH to a Linux server I have running to cut my power bill down, and it obviously failed.  It's moved back, so it will be stable yet again.
