NEW Server Updates & Host Migration Complete

Dear BlizzardMU Players,




Our planned maintenance has be successfully completed and we migrated to a new hosting company into Europe. This means everyone will experience the lowest possible latency since our new location is the best for hosting worldwide gameservers and our new server is connected to a 10Gbps backbone so expect for some crazy low latencies which gives you a perfect gameplay experience.


Every non-EU player may wonder if this will bring some bad news for them and the answer is NO! Thanks to our previous hosting company and because we were a long-term customer with plenty of dedicated servers, they shared their TCP Accelerator technology with us so we are able to use it for everyone that is located outside of Europe.


Due to our 10Gbps connection and huge BGP, a player from US for example, will normally have a lantecy of 60ms-120ms and here comes to good part as the TCP Accelerator kicks in and reduces the latency by more than half so the US player will experience the gameplay in a 30ms-60ms environment.




Our next step was to bring the server update we have promised and here is the changelog:


- updating all database tables to a newer version
- all weapon skills damage are fixed (FallingSlash, Lunge, Uppercut, Cyclone, Slash, Dinorant, Impale)

- kundun boss now drops ancients and 380 items instead of normal excellent ones
- castle siege attacking same team member fixed

We hope everyone will gave a great time and enjoy the new changes and fixes as more of them will come.

 

Since there are people that have asked me why some events are one hour earlier, check the website server time.
