Asherons Call: Some Good News

Ibn posted this announcement regarding the database issues. At least something's starting to go right:

Good news, everyone!

Our Operations folks were able to complete the backup restore and data transfer way ahead of schedule by changing some methods and using better compression on the transfer.

We're going to begin bringing the worlds back up in about 5 minutes... that's 1PM PDT / 4PM EDT / 8PM UTC.

We're going to bring the worlds up one every 30 minutes, starting with Frostfell. We want to make sure that the new system is stable and bringing the worlds up one at a time will help with that.

So Frostfell will start coming up at 4PM EDT, Leafcull will follow at 4:30PM, Solclaim at 5:00PM, and finally Thistledown at 5:30PM.

Again, these worlds will be brought up with the data from approximately 7AM EDT Sunday morning.
