Hello!,

For once this will not affect the Absolut server . After careful consideration we are going to be moving around some servers. We're also consolidating all our servers into SoftLayer instead of being spread out across different DataCenters. SoftLayer has been the best DC we've ever dealt with and I'd highly recommend them to anyone here that is interested in getting a dedicated server.

The current cossacks and and ciroc servers will be going offline the end of this month. We already have new servers online that we're in the process of setting up.
Current Cossacks accounts will be moved to Stoli(There are not many).
Current Ciroc accounts will be moved to a new quad core server that will be taking the place of Cossacks. This will help even out the excess of ad-free accounts that we have. We will be watching Stoli closely over the next few weeks to determine if ad-enhanced needs an additional server also.

We're also adding another paid server but you guys don't care about that stuff .

So, summary.

Current Cossacks -> Stoli
Current Ciroc -> New Cossacks

I will make a post when we actually start moving the accounts around. This is just a heads up.

When you say ciroc servers will be going offline the end of this month. What do you mean exactly. well it be offline a few days or on one day.

[jsobeck]

Kemraj, if this is like anything that has happened in the past the move *should* be instantaneous and we shouldn't notice anything. (Emphasis on should there.) Also, thanks to Corey for keeping us in the know. Keep up the good work x10!

[Corey]

Kemraj, we're getting rid of that server and replacing it with a more powerful one , it just won't be called 'ciroc'

[nol888]

What is Stoli currently? And, I wonder, is there still this "sustained" server?

Edit: Wait, Stoli is the second ad-enhanced. And so there might not be a sustained server.

If you *do* need two ad-enhanced, are you going to do another sustained-ish idea? Or evenly dispersed?

[kemraj]

Ok thanks i understand now

[Corey]

We will do evenly dispersed. Last time we did sustained we ended up paying months for a server that was extremely under utilized. There was not enough interest by people to keep it online.

[arsonistx]

Haha, actually I was thinking about getting paid hosting pretty soon. (within a couple days)

[nol888]

Is there a sustained server currently? Cause I know you have 3 free hosting servers: cossacks, ciroc, and stoli.

So you're planning to make it one?

No, we currently have

absolut, ciroc - Ad-Free
cossacks, stoli - Ad-Enhanced
skyy - Paid

It will be

absolut, cossacks - Ad-Free
stoli - Ad-Enhanced
ciroc, skyy - Paid.

I hope that clears this up.
