Moving our stuff Hello ppl, we are about to move our stuff from our ServerPC at Limestone to a new datacenter controlled by a company called OVH located in Beauharnois, QC, Canada. We are getting a lot better hardware and a very fast connection to go along with it. It will cost us around $180 USD a month. When and how long? Our current ServerPC will be cancelled effectively on the 9th of Decemeber 2014. So we must have moved our stuff over to the new ServerPC at OVH before this date. That said, we are going to order our new ServerPC between the 25th and 30th of this month November 2014. The gameservers won't be offline very long this way, since they can continue to run while we work on setting them up on the new ServerPC. If everything goes well downtime for the gameservers alone should be less than 30 minutes. What about the Websites The websites are a little different story. We are moving these as well and will host them 100% ourselves again on CentOS 6 x64 operating system with an Official cPanel license. Downtime for the forums will be slightly longer because we have to move and configure more for this type of thing than the gameservers and the forums cannot stay online while we work on moving them. Subdomain Re-organization Most if not all of our websites we have such as ultraaow.com, ren-x.com, mpf-games.com, tiberiumcrystalwar.com and a few others will run off a subdomain instead, this is cheaper and keeps everything centralized on our primary domain: multiplayerforums.com There will be subs for all of them: ren.multiplayerforums.com, renegade-x.multiplayerforums.com, tcw.multiplayerforums.com, etc. Donations are really welcome If you ever only thought of donating to us: This month is the time to do so We are preparing some big changes and some require us to purchase hardware or licenses for the forums and all. If we all stick in a few bucks we all happy Note that donators have some minor advantages in our servers and website: Read More here To donate Click Here -- Thanks <3

Complaints After a dozen complaints the downloads were getting slow, we talked to our webhost and they offered a solution. We have moved the websites to an alternative connection within the same Webhost Provider company, the data is now delivered through a secondary 1Gbps connection. Past testing Nobody probably noticed much however we tested UltraAOW.com and MPF-Imperial-Age.com which were moved to test the performance for a while. We are now confident that the new connection is good and so we have moved multiplayerforums.com to this as well. Downtime or Differences? There should be no downtime or any notice-able difference for visitors of our websites other than faster downloads and loading times. I noticed a big difference myself personally where downloads would start at 3MB/s and gain speed gradually up to 10MB/s whereas in the past on the old connection it would start at around 500KB/s and slowly build up. Thanks Thanks for visiting our websites and servers and please continue to do so!
