Server Upgrades: Round One
Last updated October 6, 2011 @ 8:00 pm | « | »

Hi everyone,

I’m pleased to announce that effective today, TLO has upgraded its servers, doubling the amount of available memory, quintupling storage space and increasing bandwidth by 9 times – plus, it will cost less, $13 a month as compared to $20 per month.

Now, these changes do come at some (non-monetary) cost; we are still investigating the overall speed and reliability of this new setup. Additionally, since we have changed IPs (the server is still accessible at server.last-outpost.net but the IP is now 174.140.161.188), our Gametracker stats have been reset, which means our servers appear artificially low in the rankings – activity on them will move them up again!

We’ll keep you posted on developments, but it’s our hope that this change will prevent or greatly lessen accidental kicks from the server, server crashes, and other such issues – it should also allow more people to be on server at one time. Please report any problems you have here or in the Engineering forum, or by contacting me.

Thanks, Veritas & the Council
