Over the next couple of days, Kyle and I will be moving VC's website and forums to a new server. There are several tests and trials we have to perform first, thus exact timing of this transition is still up in the air. However, we will have appropriate notifications on the website when the transition is in progress. During such time members will not be able to comment or post.

The domain name remains the same but it may take 1 or more hours for IP address information to migrate through all DNS servers.

I will be creating test installations for our website, forums, and wikis today. These are the last components of our old system that need to be moved. None of this will affect the performance of Arda (different server); however, database lookup (e.g. money, XP, etc) may not be as snappy at times. Also,there should not be a need for system restarts, but just in case, you have been forewarned Laugh

Test installations for the Lore Wiki, Wiki, and website are done. I'm still working on bring our version of WordPress into the 21st century. Once Meatbawllz gets back from his work travels, we'll do a final export and make those the live versions. Functionally and content-wise they will be exactly the same. Member's don't need to change anything. The sole difference is that those sites are hosted on our own systems and will allow us to more completely integrate with Minecraft.

More info to come when we have a date set for the switch.

More website/wiki conversion will be going on this evening. Again, this will mostly be database-related and could - though highly unlikely - affect some DB-based commands (i.e. money, logblocks, XP, etc.)
