Hello there and welcome to the late edition of the weekly update.

In case you hadn’t noticed yet, Tuesday was patch day. This of course means that our focus is on how things go with the event now that it is live. One of our main concerns was/is the performance issues that plagued most of the servers over the past couple of weeks. We put in what we hoped would be fix for these issues in the April update. It appears that this fix did not resolve the issues, so we are now in the process of going through the logs again to see what else could be causing the problems. During this process we may need to take the worlds down for a short time to install some special monitoring on the servers to help us find the cause of these issues as fast as possible. We will of course give everyone as much notice as possible if we do need to bring down any servers.

This week the team is focused on getting the design specs done for the May event. During this time, they are getting all of the details down on paper as far as what they want to do with the content.

The response to the arrival of the Producer’s letter has gotten a good response so far and folks seem generally happy to see what Crowley had to say about the state of AC right now, and going forward. As we closer to implementing some of the things that were mentioned in the letter, we will of course be discussing it more here on the forums.

As of right now that is about it. We are focused on trying to discover the cause of the server issues we have been having over the past several weeks. Once we have more information or a fix, we will let you know.
