Attention adventurers:

To test a new version of Abandoned Realms without risking current save data, we will be bringing up a new server. This server has substantial changes to the way AR is executed under the hood, including changing the base operating system the game runs on, swapping out a critical outdated library, and switching to a fully 64-bit environment.

This necessitates one or more Brawl Days, in which all players can connect to the new server, instantly advance their new characters to the maximum level, and freely explore the realms or fight to the death.

The consequences of a Brawl Day are that fewer players will be playing on the main server while a Brawl is happening and that your standard characters will not be available for play on the Brawl server. This can be boring for many players and result in overall reduced activity. Conversely, some players enjoy Brawls a great deal and will spend more time connected to the game.

The load test is not time-critical and can happen any time during Q4. So we'd like to ask for feedback from players and immortals to decide when the best times for this testing will be.

After testing is successful, we'll perform a full migration and launch AR on the new software with all expected save data available for play.
