Future Server Moves From GS09 To GS08

Hello everyone,

 

I just wanted to quickly announce two servers moves we will likely be performing in the next week from GS09 to GS08. Today, we reached over 560 total players (peak) on all of our servers via the server list. We haven't seen this high of a number since Valve's servers broke in CS:GO resulting in a big spike of population on our CS:GO servers in January of 2017. I don't think we've seen this high of a number since early - mid 2016 and we are coming closer to reaching our all-time peak which is 1299 in 2015  (Still long ways to go, though).

 

I think we had a higher number at some point.

 

Anyways, with the burst of population today, our GS09 machine was overloaded. Therefore, I plan to move the following servers to our GS08 machine which has more powerful hardware (suited to handle higher-slot servers):

 

• Rust Vanilla - 92.119.148.13:28015
• Garry's Mod Purge - 92.119.148.7:27015.

 

Rust is at 60+ players at the moment while Purge is at ~50. I believe it'd benefit both servers moving to the new machine. The new machine's specs are:
 

• Intel i7-7700K @ 4.2 GHz.
• 64 GBs of RAM
• 500 GBs SSD
• 1 Gbps port.
• 15 TBs bandwidth.
• $120.00/m

 

I'm not sure when I will move Purge, but it will be when it's empty. I will most likely move Rust during the next (full) wipe which will be next Thursday (5/2). Since it's Vanilla, we can just copy the server CFG over and edit our PoP servers to direct the traffic to the new machine for that IP via Compressor. It should be really simple  

 

I just wanted to let everyone know about this. I will post an announcement along with updates as I'm moving these servers.

 

Thank you!

Garry's Mod Purge has been moved to GS08. I will be moving Rust tonight since the machine will be going down for maintenance anyways.

 

Thank you.
