Hardware Swap & Security Warning

[Shenna 1135]

We have noticed that one of our drives for the server is failing, we have planned a hardware swap regardless, the Lead Team has decided to swap the entire machine over to a newer system. We will be doing this tonight at 11pm server time (23:00)

We have already set up an SQL replication so the downtime should be rather short. There will be no progression lost and no issues are expected to occur. The hardware changes are expected to improve some the the latency our non-EU players have been experiencing with a change of the server location.

Thank you all for your patience!

EXPECTED DOWNTIME: 2 HOURS

ALSO, CRITICALLY IMPORTANT:

As we are sure many of you have heard, (we have received many messages), the database of LightsHope was again compromised. This has happened a few times before. As a security measure, we urge all Elysium players and staff to change your passwords immediately. You can do this via the website user control panel at elysium-project.org or by typing in game;

.account password $oldpassword $newpassword $newpassword

We do not know the extent of the breach, we have received many emails containing forum database and screenshots showing two factor authentication recovery keys. If you have any affiliation, or even have an account with their servers, your account could be at risk. Please we encourage you to change your password.

Looks like all is well, up and running ok. Thanks for making the effort and merges. It looks like it worked for me and the Nighthaven server is operational, nominal and stable.
