Greetings Beyonders,
I’m sure many of you are aware, we have recently begun encountering issues with our current ISP provider. These issues have led to increased server lag/packet loss and frustration for some, if not all players.
Due to these server lag/ISP issues, we are EXCITED to announce that SWG Beyond will be migrating to a new server host with a more stable ISP. This move will not only reduce the packet loss, but also provide us the opportunity to upgrade our hardware and improve overall server performance. Allowing us to maintain our current population, plus have room to grow.
Current Server Specs:
• 28 core 56T @2.4ghz (3.0ghz Turbo)
• 256GB RAM 2133MHz
• 2x 1 TB NMVe SSD
• 10 GB port
• Hardware 2016
New Server Specs:
• 32 core 64T @4.0ghz (4.5ghz Turbo)
• 256GB RAM 3200MHz
• 2x 1.2 TB NMVe SSD
• 10 GB port
• Dedicated bandwidth
• Hardware 2021
While we are excited about this upgrade, and what it means for the future of Beyond and its players, this change does not come without an element of concern. Increased performance comes with a price, in this case that price is approximately $115 per month higher than our current server.
Previous Donation Goal: $415/mo.
New Donation Goal: $530/mo.
We would like to give a special THANK YOU to everyone who generously donates towards server costs! Your help keeping this server running is appreciated! Once the server migration is complete, the donation counter will be reset to zero, and restarted.
What happens if we do NOT achieve the new donation goal? Unfortunately, in that scenario we will be forced to revert to the previous specified server to ensure the sustainability of Beyond.
We would like to thank everyone for the time and effort dedicated to SWG Beyond. We are truly lucky to have such an amazing community!
Thank you!
