Aion Team Arctic Posted November 11, 2020 Aion Team Share Posted November 11, 2020 Greetings Daevas! Tomorrow, we will have an extended maintenance window as we change server hosting to AWS. These AWS servers are located in the state of Virginia. We expect for the transition to begin at approximately 6am Server Time (4am PT / 7am ET / 11am UTC), and last for approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes if all goes well. Thanks for your patience while we work to keep the Aion experience as rewarding as possible - and we'll look forward to bringing the servers back online as soon as we can tomorrow! Update: As a reminder and for those who may not have seen, the Pumpkin King's Haunt and Harvest Revel Transformation promotions will also conclude tomorrow.

Azzmaria-KT Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Usually in this kind of post is included the information about what will change in the next week. You know, events, fixes, important information. The server´s location is nice, but I think could be even better some info about the current situation with events. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means better servers, better network, and way longer DT than expected. It also means the ability to roll your own GPN by leveraging Amazon's internal network to route your traffic from an AWS location close to you, to the server location. So the possibility of better pings for tech-savvy folks. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heeeey @Kibbelz, Remember a while ago when you had posted something along the lines of a list of things that you (NCsoft) would working on to make the connection between NCsoft and the community stronger? Yeah? Wasn't one of those things better communication? I feel as if the community probably should have been given a heads up on this decision a while ago. Like what is the reasoning? What are the future states plans for AION looking like since the game is moving to cloud based servers? Not to call you out, but, you are starting to do EXACTLY what Cyan used to do... ONLY log into forums with Maintenance Notes, then quickly log off. And then not log in again until the next week to post Maintenance Notes again. There is an EXTREME lack of any communication about ANYTHING that is happening. What about 7.7 release for NA? Whoever is in charge of the AION Facebook seems to be more informative than the actual forums themselves... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more information. How long will the servers be down for? 9 hours is not realistic. Try 12-14 hours. Will we get compensation for the excessively long downtime? Will this fix the weekly bug with Katalam or is that a coding issue? Are the current events coming to an end or will they continue for another week? Will there be a new event starting? Will siege/Altar times change because the new server is in a new time zone? [images of the week x3] 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
