So the server is back up and everything seems good to me. Please check on it. I'm dealing with 15 servers total hosted by the ESXi host while TRYING to enjoy New Year's Day.

Went for a quick spin. All seems good to me. Thanks for staying on top of all this, T.

Thank you for checking on this, I REALLY appreciate it.

I've got a question! Is the render distance 'fixed' on the server – that is, I can't change it client-side? I was fiddling with the video prefs and that slider didn't seem to make a difference either way.

Currently we are set to a view-distance of 10. We can go up to 32 but that seems overkill. What are you thinking? I'm open to making it larger. It will require a server restart, but that is easy to do when no one is playing.

Maybe 16? If player's machines start smoking we'll go back.

Done.

I just did it and restarted the server right before a player logged in. Timing.

Don't blame me. I log in, log out, log in, log out.

It's a real thing. There's probably a medical name for it.

Early warning: I'm going to be working on my hardware and moving some stuff around. At some point I'm going to have to shut down the ANMC server to be able to move and bring up on the new host. I don't know when that is going happen but it won't be too long from now.

Play away and enjoy while it is still up. It might be the weekend before I get it, or later tonight.

I'll post here when it is about to happen. I've got to evacuate one server and do some hardware upgrades and such, then bring up the new hardware, smoke test and then go live.

[Brad]

Thanks for the heads-up, T.

Now is the time. Server going down.

And back up on the new host. Have fun!

Going to go down one more time so I can add an SSD and HDD to the new host. It will be brief but you won't be able to get in while they are down. If you try and can't get in, give it 15 minutes and try again.
