    We will be performing a node replacement for MC.CHI2 & MC.CHI3. This operation is part of our ongoing effort to optimize our services and introduce better hardware.

    Key Details of the Maintenance:

    1) Temporary Shutdown: All gameservers operating in MC.CHI2 & MC.CHI3 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 these nodes will be restricted while the maintenance is underway.

    3) IP Address Changes:

    • The majority of IP addresses will remain unchanged.

    • For clients using machine IPs (the direct IP obtained when pinging the hostname of these nodes), please be aware that these IPs will be renumbered.

    • This change should affect only a limited number of clients. We will provide individual notices to those customers once the migration is complete.

    4) Database Migration: Databases associated with these nodes will also be moved during this process. You will need to update the database server ip after the migration is completed.

    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?

    If you would like to opt-in for an earlier migration, please open a ticket with the team in the WinterNode Discord (#support) channel and we can coordinate an earlier move of any service.

    Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Support Team.
