Due to suspected hardware failure/degradation, among other things, a game server migration is happening.
There will be some (hopefully not too long) downtime as I'll need to shut down the old FLServer, take a copy of all the files and move it to the new server. Once this is done people will need to restart their launchers.
I intend to begin the process at 2300 UTC. While this is ongoing, the web server should remain up and the basic functionality of the forums should work, but some more advanced functionality like the API-related things may be down.
Should we be ready for things like missing chars, pobs, etc?

No we should be able to get all the characters and POBs that exist at time of old server shutdown.
Will you solve the lag issue?
Good luck. (happy)

We'll see, it should solve some performance issues but maybe not others. It's got entirely different hardware (more powerful CPU, SSDs) on an entirely different network. It certainly won't prevent anyone from ever lagging again, we're still subject to the wonders of internet routing.

Thanks.
Is a spec comparison available?

We allocate 12GB RAM to the game VM and that appears to be fine for what we run. We allocate 4 VCPUs to the game VM.

Edit: Oh, also, SSDs in the new server. Didn't have those on old.
Is it going to be in the same region or a different one? If different, where is it being moved to?

Still in Europe, but Finland now.
