Characters are reimporting, however with 200,000 characters this is taking a long time. With an 8-core processor we don't see it taking more than 8-15 hours. However, I can always be wrong.

Due to this we're putting together a simple-quick little arena tournament server along with battlegrounds. We've done this in the past when SF was down so we're going to do it now.

The arena tournament server will have free season 4. No characters will be saved afterward when Smolderforge is ready to open up. This is a temporary server.

Based on the status of it going now, I do not see this taking more than 6-8 hours now. Hopefully will be online 9AM-12PM Eastern tomorrow!

Taking long than I expected but it's almost done importing characters. The item_instance table is huge though too but that will then be the last one.

Fun server has been closed. Backing up characters in case something were to happen. This will take about 10 more minutes. After that Smolderforge will come back online!

- Account creation has been opened back up now.

So other than dedicated I have some very exciting news! However I'm not going to disclose it at this time. But look how my horoscope looks today: (they fit so freakingly weird)
It could be that you have been losing faith in your dreams and fantasies lately, dear Taurus. Now is the time to refocus on what you want and move forward with confidence. You have done enough reflecting and reviewing. Now is the time to implement and create. Dream big, and don't let others stand in the way of your progress. Today's shift may be subtle, but it should indicate smooth sailing for the next few weeks.

If i calculated correctly you should be able to have 257,2 players online 24/7 before the 2TB ends :)
Vars:
kb/s /player = 3 (kbpspp rofl)
1 month = 30 days

Like it :D
Alltho, I must say. 2TB sounds endless, but its sick how much you really download / upload in this game.
