Hi Everyone,

We ran our first experiment with our new servers last week. About 1% of iOS/Android players were moved to the new servers (Mobile only… not Steam or Console).

[Note that SERVERS are separate to the DATABASE… we migrated to the new database quite a few months ago, and it’s been running very well]

It showed up a few problems…

- some minor things that you would hardly notice (such as a couple of very rare error messages)
- some moderate issues (such as a higher guild seals cap & a brief issue with XP/Soul multipliers which affected only the 1% who moved),
- and some fairly major issues (a new database query which we think may have been messing with the server stability for the last few days at peak time - 2am GMT… which has affected _everyone_ on at those times on ALL platforms)

I believe we’ve now addressed all the known issues from last week, so we’re going to start moving people over the next 5-7 days.

There’s nothing you need to do for this… we’ll likely move another 1% today to test the weekly reset (the busiest server time of the week) and then we’ll start moving people over in larger numbers tomorrow.

Consoles will begin _their_ move in a couple of days’ time.
