Rollover Error:
- 8:36 - Today's changes have been completed, and we're opening up the site for play. Lightsky will be monitoring the server throughout the day to see how things went. If issues arise additional downtime is possible, but we're hoping things will go smoothly! All dragons have been fed for the duration of the downtime. Thank you!
- 17:16 - We will be putting the site into read-only mode beginning 23:00 on September 8, which will continue through the night and into the morning of September 9th. We are giving the team at Lightsky a chance to pull the site down and make changes to our database structure. It is our hope that these changes will be a step in the right direction to allowing us to support more concurrent online users with less latency.
9/6/13 Downtime:
- 15:12 -Today the web development team at Lightsky has made some good discoveries with the operating system on our database and how it's not using all the power our server has available to it to process pages. They've laid out a good plan for moving forward, but ultimately this will take some time to implement and is not good to do right when we're about to enter a weekend.
Today was an enlightening day of testing and research, but no significant changes have been made; expect the site to perform at the same slower pace as yesterday. Our apologies. We hope to have the site running at a better clip after the Lightsky team has had the chance to implement some of their suggestions. - 09:37 - LightSky is progressing with further optimizations. We do not have much new to report, but want to thank everyone for their exceptional patience.
- 06:22 - Flight Rising will be undergoing maintenance starting at 6:30 on Friday September 6th and proceeding into the afternoon. We are putting the site into read-only mode to allow the team at LightSky the opportunity to make changes to our table structure to help better handle our new traffic and performance issues.
9/5/13 Downtime:
- 13: 58 -
Web team is applying artificial stress to the server in addition to our natural traffic to see how the site performs.Complete. - 13: 32 - We are taking the game out of read-only mode and allowing players to play. We will be monitoring the effects that the changes had. Additional maintenance is possible.
- 13:25 - A series of database optimizations have been made.
- 06:48 - Flight Rising will be undergoing maintenance starting at 7:15 on Thursday September 5th. We are putting the site into read-only mode to allow the team at LightSky the opportunity to make changes to our table structure to help better handle our new traffic and performance issues.
9/4/13 Downtime:
- 15:06 - We are opening the site again to monitor traffic's effect on some of the work we performed during the maintenance. There is a chance that slow-down may still occur, and that we may close for a bit longer, but we will make this known if we decide to do it. Thanks for hanging in there!
- 13:50 - We don't have much of an update yet, but we are working diligently to identify problem spots and communicate them to the web team.
- 10:159 - Flight Rising will be undergoing maintenance starting at 10:45 and proceeding into the afternoon. The main reason for this maintenance is to allow the web team at LightSky some time to work on the site to address some of the new performance issues we are seeing. We do not currently have a time frame for this maintenance, but will keep you updated on its progress via this news post. Thank you!
