Just a heads up, the master server will be moving from it's current location in San José to a new datacenter located in Las Vegas, meaning the master server will be offline during this time.
The downtime is expected to last between January 20th, 5:30 AM GMT until January 20th, 6:00 PM GMT.
I will be taking advantage of this downtime to perform some necessary performance optimizations for the master server software as well as the web server.
What does this mean for you?
The serverlist is cached on our web server, which is separate from our master game server for situations like these. This means that the serverlist will remain up, but just won't be updated during that time.
If you are a server hoster, you will likely see a lot of warnings that the server has been disconnected from the master server. This situation will remedy itself once everything is back online. No IP addresses will be changing because of this.
We will let you know when the server migration has been completed. Thanks for the patience.

No, this is a physical server migration, hence the prolonged downtime.

When will the server list be cached? I just launched a new server and am bringing it up and down as I make adjustments to the config.txt, I just want to make sure my server is on the cached list for tomorrows outage.

No, this is a physical server migration, hence the prolonged downtime.As in: throw the server in the back of your car and start driving?
Pity you had to take the weekend, but I guess you have your reasons.
Maps planned: Z-Fighting, Hallway Lite, Chaos Redux, Random Maze, FHQ Infiltration, Greece Push, Dracula's Castle, New York.
