Server Restarts

Information pertaining to Server Restarts and the National Weather Service.

Last updated 2 months ago

To maintain optimal server performance, scheduled reboots occur twice daily at 4am and 2pm Eastern Time.

To ensure an immersive experience for all members, in-game server restarts should be called "storms," keeping the technical aspect hidden from the characters.

Prior notice won't be given directly; instead, a National Weather Service warning will be issued, signaling an approaching severe thunderstorm that will cause rolling blackouts as time passes. Members should look to wrap up ongoing scenes once the first warning is issued and exit the server temporarily. Feel free to return after the reboot is complete.

As noted in the warning, emergency services will be temporarily suspended 15 minutes before the server restart, as it would be unsafe for them to enter the storm during that time.

If you're attempting to join the server 15 minutes before restart, you'll be unable to do so until after restart.

Restarts are also when the Development Team can push updates to the server. This means that updates get pushed sooner instead of waiting for the previous single restart during the middle of the night. Restarts generally take a few minutes to complete but sometimes could take up to 10 minutes, depending on what's being loaded.
