Scheduled maintenance - Server Upgrades

Hello,

SimilarWorlds will be temporarily unavailable for approximately 3 hours while we upgrade all our servers to new, more powerful servers.

Scheduled maintenance:
Saturday, August 2nd, 5:00 AM Central Time (11:00 AM Europe/London)

Estimated duration: ~3 hours

This upgrade is part of our ongoing efforts to support our growing community by improving performance, reliability, and our ability to handle increasing traffic and data.

Once the maintenance is complete, all services will return to normal.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 🧡

Best regards,
- SW Team
Nuno

Good luck to all of you good people! Server updates can be quite adventurous... 👍🏼

@helenS If there's redundancy that's a non issue. Unless we consider the astronomically minuscule chance that all the servers independently experience a filesystem corruption at once. Though in any case I guess you just reformat, or swap the disks, and restart the transfer from the beginning

@itsok all my recurring payments, whether monthly or yearly, happen automatically and are managed by the receiving party so I don't even have to adjust the amount if rates change. Having to pay rent, insurance, and the like manually is wild to me. 😅

The way some people act about three whole hours of SW deprivation, maybe the site could play "Bye bye Ms. American pie" on loop while in maintenance.

This site is some peoples' entire lives. 😄

@FreestyleArt Nope! This is not adding any "features" to SW. It's literally server upgrades. Migrate data from old servers to newer (and more powerful) servers, and shut down the older servers.
