A miracle would be if the game itself had a notice about it. We shouldn't have to look on their forums to learn about outages. Even isotropic had a very serviceable in-game notification system.

What if you just started a new game when you receive that message though. Given that the server update was planned in advance, the advance notice should at least be an hour before the server shutdown, no?

Edit: Oh, that's room chat. People in the lobby would be fine, but what about everyone in game? Well, the worst that can happen is 1 lost game.

And I didn't bother to check the time, and was in the lobby looking for a game, when everybody suddenly disappeared!

According to them on Facebook: "This involves a database conversion, so it's a much longer one than normal."

Much longer than normal? That's like a month, right?

Well, credit where credit is due. It's way better than it used to be. I expected logging in to just not work, but they've thrown up a maintenance page. Good on them.

So, for the uninformed, what does this mean?

Yeah, the question is what data were they moving and why.  (Maybe they're optimizing something?)  We may never know.

So, my confusion is that I thought the last big maintenance they undertook was a database "migration" to new hardware or something? So I don't get what they are "converting" this time....

We'll never know is probably the answer, huh?

My initial assumption was that they were converting from one type of database (e.g. Oracle) to another (e.g. MySQL).

The game seems to be running at about the fastest it usually gets, but the load times are still horrendous for me.

The lag seems to be due to dead connections being maintained, so yes, it's fastest after they reset everything, then gradually slows down.

Goko going down soon, according to their Facebook page. Apparently an "error with their server"
