We want to make sure everything is working well. That doesn't mean a new server comes in a couple weeks though, there are still many more steps left in the process. There are a little more code changes that are required on the live game to finalise the second half of the files to transfer, which should be active this week, and at that point I suspect the rest of the migration should hopefully only take a few weeks. We are currently 2.7 MILLION files migrated and that's only about half the files. I currently have the testing server setup to do this migration since it pretty much has to run 24/7. This alone is a major job which required some code changes on the live game, as well as some custom tools to actually migrate all the files. Secondly, we're migrating all (ALL!) the horse images and other supporting files from the existing CDN (Content Delivery Network) to a new one.

Its a major upgrade to the operating system as well as the web-server software and we want the process to be as seamless as possible. A second one will be setup just prior to the official move to replicate the new environment and make sure everything works 200% before we actually launch the new server. One running the old/existing software to make sure everything runs correctly in that environment. Technically there will be two testing servers. First, a new development/testing server was setup to replace the old one. In order to prepare for the move a number of things have been happening. Horse World Online will be getting a new server in the not to distant future. Looks like its been quite some time since our last update post here so I wanted to fill you all in.

I'm sure you've all been wondering what's going on.
