Dev Post JackieKo Posted August 11, 2023 Dev Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hello everyone! Mark your calendars! We are beginning the process to migrate the live servers over to the cloud beginning next week. More info here! 8 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char_Ell Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Very interesting. The only thing required is to "restart" the servers and voilá, servers will be transitioned to the cloud, except for Leviathan for some reason. Thanks to those who corrected me. Obviously should have taken more time to use my reading comprehension skills. 😅 Good luck to Leviathan players on August 15! Show us the way to the cloud!

Pretty sure the Leviathan will be the first one transferred to the cloud, hence the long downtime. Everything else is just restarting quickly but not being transferred to the cloud at the time. Presumably after the Leviathan is switched over they'll move on to the next server and all the other ones will restart again for a second 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuone Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) huumm.. this is...something to think about... "Once finalized, SWTOR may be capable to extend its servers capabilities to reach new players" how can server capabilities could reach new players ? Servers are far from being full...Will they improve the game enough to reach new players ? I think there is something here.. but mabye I'm wrong...On reddit, someone reminds me that's for apac players ;). I think he's right.

jedikranma Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 sounds like cross servers are coming, if that is the case would be fun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned months ago that they were considering adding a new server for the APAC region. That’s only possible if they migrate to AWS.

Lord_Malganus Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 NOTHING ever goes as stated it will or as planned. All it means is downtime is coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not. @Lord_Malganus ... probably a good assessment! Nothing wrong with the down time. I personally appreciate the heads up for everyone. I'm almost certain it won't bother me that much since I'm not playing that often these days. To the team ...(and everyone) I do hope this works out better for all of us!

septru Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Smart choice. Move the most dead server first, so that when you inevitably break Leviathan there is no one around to complain. 🤣 Edited August 11, 2023 by septru 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Broadsword is light on details ( for obvious reasons ) , i still can't figure out if this move is a good thing or bad thing. Good sign or bad sign. Good for the database or bad. And the hard part is, none of us will know either way until probably around December. Edited August 11, 2023 by Nee-Elder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do expect there will be teething problems at the start. There always is & I wouldn’t be surprised if some really unfortunate things go wrong till they work out the kinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancaos Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) I am hoping for the return of a more west coast friendly cloud server out of this heres hoping for one of the servers moved to the cloud in the us they will use central or west coast based aws cloud server and stop screwing over west coast players. Or that by moving to the cloud on east coast the route my isp takes to get there hopefully changes so i get better service(this being much more unlikely cause east coast but one can hope) If not ill probably end up quitting cause the constant random disconnects simply because of the servers location is really irritating.

Sylvannai Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) I'm just imagining the players of Leviathan happily having a party sitting on the cloud with a harp in their hands. ☁️😉 I keep my fingers crossed for the SWTOR team that it goes well and smoothly.🙂 Edited August 11, 2023 by Sylvannai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it works for EVERYONE !!! And (for whatever it's worth) ... @TrixxieTriss you're probably right (again). Probably a skinned knee or two along the way! I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and see what shakes out. Edited August 11, 2023 by OlBuzzard error !! (oops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
