Sometime in the next week a server migration will take place. The current server will serve as the Otion test server while the new server will be the private ffxi Cleopatra Server. The migration will take place in two phases:
Phase 1 - Transferring of player and game data.
During this phase there will not be a need to make changes to the client. All character data and progress prior to the migration will be saved
Phase 2 - Server location change
The Cleopatra Server will be moved to a new faster connection (75/75 Mbps) at a different location. This change will require users to connect to a new hostname in their client which will be released at this time. After Phase 2, the server will go public.
The reason for the changes is two fold. First, it allows the server to stay up full time with the exception of server updates. Secondly, it allows all testing to be done on the test server as to not disturb current players. This will streamline the update process so updates can continue on a monthly basis.
