Planned Maintenance - 12PM EST 03-08-19
Some of you may have noticed the occasional lag spike that happens randomly. These erroneous lag spikes were caused by resource contention issues with the datacenter provider. Essentially, we've been operating using a lower cost Virtual Machine with shared CPU. When another customer of the host provider would use high CPU resources briefly it would cause sudden and short burts of lag on our server as we fought for CPU resources.
As we continue to grow with no end in sight we must make adjustments to the amount of resources we have allocated to our server. Today at 12PM EST we will be shutting down for 60 to 90 minutes to upgrade the server (again) to a dedicated CPU plan. What this means, is that we will be upgrading the resources to allow for our growth to continue unhindered and free of contention with neighboring systems, we will own the full resources to dedicate to the Lineage Justice private server preventing these annoying lag spikes.
We look foward to these growth opportunities as it means we are keeping the community alive and well! Hopefully, this will not be the last time we need to upgrade our available resources.
Estimated Downtime: 60-90 minutes.
The server will be back online as soon as the upgrade and migration to the newest hardware is completed by the provider.

Yeah I've also noticed lag (for me) later in the day. It's good to hear you are upgrading your plan. I hope it doesn't become too expensive

My apologies. We've been working on the migration, several tasks were involved in the process that took longer than expected (full server backups before a major upgrade are essential). Some performance changes... then went to do the migration that was schedule, but the host provider is having a few issues.
I am on the phone with them now, should be hopefully within 30 mins.

Nice.
Where do we donate to help with server costs?
