    We were able to successfully complete the scheduled migrations today and all customers are now on a new nodes GRA1 -> GRA3 | LON2 -> LON7.

    Some customers on GRA3 have had their IP changes as they were previously allocated on the machine ip. These customers have already been notified through tickets and are now accessible on their new IP + Port. If you used WinterNode provided subdomains or have setup your own personal domains, you will need to update your DNS records accordingly.

    All other customers were not affected and are able to use the same IP as before.

    If you are experiencing any issues starting your server, please submit a ticket in our Discord Server.

    We will be performing a node replacement for MC.LON2 & MC.GRA1. This operation is part of our ongoing effort to optimize our services.

    Key Details of the Maintenance:

    1) Temporary Shutdown: All gameservers operating in MC.LON2 & MC.GRA1 will be temporarily powered off during the maintenance period. You will need to start your server once the maintenance has been completed.

    2) Game Panel Access: Access within the Game Panel for this node will be restricted while the maintenance is underway.

    3) IP Address Changes: The majority of IP addresses used will remain unchanged.

    4) Database Migration: Databases associated with these nodes will also be moved during this process.

    5) Data Integrity: We do not anticipate any data loss as a result of this maintenance.

    We understand the importance of uninterrupted service and are committed to keeping the downtime to a minimum. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to enhance our infrastructure and continue delivering exceptional service.

    Do you want to move sooner?
