The timing/logistics of today's patch and legacy migration
|
The patch deployment and legacy migration will occur at 4pm New Zealand time. This is just under 3 hours from when I am posting this update.
We'll do a 20 minute countdown beforehand and then bring the realm down. The downtime will be approximately one minute, exactly the same as any other patch deployment. Once the realm comes back up, users will have to download the new patch (which is likely to be around 200mb because it includes the high quality music overhaul). While people are patching, we'll disable the old Default/Hardcore leagues, set a migration going so that the characters are moved to the Legacy leagues, and then create the new Default and Hardcore leagues. We expect the new leagues to be available within a few seconds of the realm coming back up. The migrated characters should be available in the Legacy leagues within approximately 5-15 minutes. The new leagues do not freeze you in place before a nominated start time. Once you're patched, you're welcome to start immediately. I understand that this means that people that patch quickly will have a few minutes of advantage, but these are long-term leagues and I don't want everyone else to have to wait around for up to half an hour before they can play. A few minutes of advantage won't mean much after a week. Last edited by Chris#0000 on Oct 31, 2012, 5:40:46 AM

" Wait Chris I don't get it. If we start making lvl 28's in the NEW hardcore league, when 9.13 hits does death in the arena pvp = perma death on new hardcore league? |

"When I asked this before he said that there would be a method to duel to the death as well as a method to fight PvP in HC without dying. Not sure how its working out yet, but 'Arenas' you wont die in permanently, and then there will be another option I think. Probably 'duel' (to the death).
