Administrators Popular Post daredevil Posted April 12, 2018 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi All, Sad news. Just got the email from gs.com. Quote Ticket CDB-has been updated by James Wong [staff].Hello,Our networking team is looking to permanently retire the IP your server is installed on. As such, we will need to move your server off of its current IP.We have opened a new subscription for you on a new IP. Your old subscription has been set to cancel on Monday, April 23rd. Please use this time to make any file transfers you want as the new subscription is a fresh install.Thank you,James WongGameServers.comTo update or check the progress of your ticket, please login to https://my.gameservers.com and access your account.~ The GameServers.com Team ~ Frag. Not Lag. Seems like we are being forcefully moved to new IP. I have contacted their CEO. I don't foresee any change in their stance. Those jack asses, never run any community and are tossing people out for no valid reason. Even level 1 data-center tech can move the IP to new machine. I don't see what's the issue is with this. They are just being lazy employees. Just giving heads up. If we have to change the IP, I would move the server location from Chicago to NY/NJ. That would lower the ping of Euro members big time as well lower the ping for Asian members. West coast members would see increase in their ping by 20-40. That would put everyone around 100 ping appx. East coast members ping will reduce to 20 from 50. Sorry for the trouble, my hands are tied but i have request their CEO to look into this. Thank you 7 3 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IP changes kill the server but over the period of time we will survive. We just need to advertise everywhere like crazy that our IP has changed. I am just trying to figure out that we need to stay at Chicago or we can move to NJ/NY for good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone over to Jay1 to inform them of these changes that might occur, and to stay updated on discord and forums! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFighter Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 is it maybe possible to make from the old ip a redirect ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a week only though if decommission the IP in itself. We use A records anyways. So players still just need to do /connect jay1.clan-fa.com:27960 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoeniXx Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Well admins here will try their best to do the rest of the work including advertisement..... And it's a sad change..... But I always hope people will join this server only.... On the good hand... The ping issue will be a bit better for euros and other and including me... Let's hope for the best 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheepHeep Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Should probably make banners on the rest of our servers especially the jaymod ones as its likely players will try those ones. Will do my part on silent. Should be fine in the end though! Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how i always connect and move from server to server. Small issue if everyone has to re d/l it No menu change required. For years, i have used jay1.clan-fa.com in the menu. This way if we have to change any IP due to any issues, we are covered. Only issue would be if anyone joining through 3rd party services - they have to update the IP their.

Aniky Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I assume majority of players re joining via FA menu or writing the IP into console, as long as redirect is in place, it shouldn't be a big deal, afterwards just advertise it and ppl will eventually find it via Trackbase or forums here. As long as its populated and same name of server, ppl will find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
