EXTENDED MAINTENANCE AND SERVER CHANGES - March 26th

We want to give you a heads-up about an extended maintenance period as part of this week’s scheduled maintenance, along with some important changes happening behind the scenes. This post also serves as the patch notes for this week. No gameplay changes, balance updates, or new content are being introduced as part of this week’s maintenance.

Extended Maintenance Window

Tomorrow (March 26th, 2026), we will be taking the servers offline for a longer maintenance period than usual. This downtime is expected to last at the very least an hour, rather than our typical shorter maintenance window for regular maintenance updates.

What’s Happening?

This maintenance is focused entirely on large infrastructure changes, not gameplay updates.

We are in the process of moving our servers to new datacenters. This includes a full migration of services and systems that support the game. Because of the scale of this move, it requires a longer downtime to ensure everything is transferred and configured properly. We will slowly phase out the old servers and move all traffic to the new datacenters over the course of the next week.

This will not happen all at once. Instead, we will gradually shift services, monitor performance, and ensure stability at each stage before fully retiring the old setup.

This approach reduces risk and helps us avoid large-scale disruption during the transition period. The migrations should be able to be done while the servers are still live and should not cause any further disruptions other than the extended maintenance tomorrow.

Server Relocations

As part of this migration:

• US servers are being relocated to Dallas

• Asia servers are being relocated to Singapore

• EU servers are changing data centers but staying in Amsterdam

Due to these changes, some players may notice differences in latency:

• Players closer to the new locations may see improved ping

• Players further away may see a higher ping

For example, players on the west coast of the US should see a better latency, while players on the east coast should see a slightly worse latency. The reason for moving the datacenter to a more central location is to help even out latency across the entire US.

What to Expect

• Servers will be offline for (likely) a few hours

• No gameplay changes or updates

• Possible minor instability immediately after maintenance as systems fully settle

We will monitor everything closely once services are back online to ensure a smooth return and a healthy server status.
