Like the subject line says, we’ll be migrating the Gems of War databases for the next few hours. We don’t expect this to cause any issues with gameplay, but if you see any crashes, that’s the cause.

While we don’t have an exact time for when the migration will be completed, we don’t expect it to take more than a couple hours. I’ll be back soon with more information.

@Nex, is this specifically referring to the console databases, or does this apply to PC/mobile as well?

Specifically consoles.

I don’t speak for the PC team, so if you see a post from me, it generally applies only to consoles. If the PC team were migrating databases (or doing any other sort of maintenance), you’d see a post from @sirrian.

I figured as much, thought I’d double-check though! Thanks for the clarification.

Phase 1 is already finished, but phase 2 won’t be for a couple months:

> Hey Everyone! This post applies to Mobile/PC only right now, although console users will have their migration done shortly. As you may know, the last 4 weeks have seen a few server issues (including on horrible day when they were down for about 16 hours). This mostly seems to stem from the fact that our server provider (Parse) will be closing down in January 2017, and as such, they’ve started to decrease resources/support already. So… much like the wildebeest of the Serengeti, it’s time for …
