There is to be a scheduled server downtime to fix the 4 byte bug data issues (refer to the topic under Bugs on the forum for details).
This will require the game to be stopped, all data files to be backed up and the fix run. Then the game ill be restarted and in game testing will commence.
Date:
Saturday 15 January 2011Time:
10am Perth time (GMT + or 2am UK time (GMT 0) or something earlier in US time zones on Friday night.
Duration is expected to be
less than 30 minutes if all goes well. If it does not go well I will just restore the system again and rip my hair out.
I would then ask all players to look out for any unusual issues in the game, especially anything to do with dates or times.
