We will be replacing our old servers on 2006-02-28
*Summary

Summary
Our servers = old, we will be replacing them on 2006-02-28 & upgrade our bandwidth. We do not for see any down time for this replacement/upgrade exercise.
Introduction
Our main servers are over 2.5 years old, and as you know the life span of computer parts is generally 1-2 years and ours is wayyyy pass its due date.
So, we will be adding in 2 new replacement Xeon servers to replace our old ones. We will continue to use our old servers to load balance the game (until they die of old age), and estimate this should increase our server CPU processing by 65%; to ensure faster response and less lag (not that there is any notice-able lag now).
To ensure there is no bottle necks (ex: CPU increase but no bandwidth increase), we will be increasing our bandwidth by 35% ... well might as well since we`ll be there eh ?
To ensure no down time, this replacement and upgrade will be taking about 1.5 weeks to complete. We will be reorganizing the servers for UC to the following:
UC Portal - Majority of new players will login/signup here, also used for vasallized links & federation webpage, manual is also located here
UC Game Server 1 - Normal Game server
UC Game Server 2 - Normal Game server
UC Game Server 3 - Latest updates goes here
Other non-related news
We will be getting in some freshie coders/programmers sometime in 1-2 months`s time. With more coders we believe that we can speed up updates and also to improve on the quality (less bugs/errors) of the update itself.
