NCsoft Server Move
On Wednesday, September 18th, we will be relocating the US Lineage game and website servers to a new hosting location at Texas.net. We feel that this move will provide the best possible solution for our customers – giving them access to a diversified network that will, in many cases, improve the connectivity between customers and the Lineage servers.

While we complete this move, there will be a few instances of downtime or potential downtime detailed below:

  • Saturday, September 14th - 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Central US time. Customers may experience a brief outage while we begin moving backup equipment. We do not anticipate downtime, but there is a possibility.
  • Tuesday, September 17th – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM Central US time. The Lineage and City of Heroes websites, including message boards and support sites, will be unavailable while we move the web servers to the new location.
  • Wednesday, September 18th - 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (noon) Central US time. All US Lineage game servers will be unavailable while we move the servers to the new location.

Of special note: the US servers will have new IP addresses following this move. As the new IP addresses will be patched to Lineage game clients once the servers are restarted it is important that users access Lineage using the Lineage desktop shortcut with /us following the program link. If you are using the desktop shortcut from a default installation of Lineage and have not modified the shortcut, your client will patch correctly. Additionally, the Lineage Test Server IP address will change to 216.166.78.130 and Test Server users should adjust their test clients accordingly on September 18th. The test server will be down slightly longer than the production servers and is currently scheduled to be brought back up by 3:00 PM.

Finally, as this move will take place next week, it should be noted that Lineage customers may still experience connectivity issues during the previously announced Exodus maintenance period on Sunday, September 15th from 2:00 AM to 7:00 AM Central US time.

We apologize for any inconvenience these downtimes may cause and will be working to minimize any disruptions during the move process as much as we are able.

I assume so -- I was just browsing their website and it appears that they own and operate giganews.com -- that's a ton of bandwidth they must have if they can do that!

if we added up all "downtime" during the last year we'd probably have a free month of payment. we should get that =) let's hope new server doesn't lag... or run through about 12 different locations.

Texas, hrm... not even close to the main backbones.

This is a preaty good indication NC-us is ramping _down_ operations for Lineage. You dont move your servers to Texas in expectation of big growth.

My first inclination is that this was a good thing, and of course I'm going to go with amer (through his unstated opinion). Plus, getting off of Exodus would be an extreme help to most players with disconnect problems, etc--hopefully!
