Hello!
Today I'm here to talk to you about servers. They're cool little things that we all play the game on and also they have names. You can recognize these names because we helpfully include the word "Goonstation" on all of them, but also because we add a little extra flavor so you know what kind of server it is. This is why you have things like "Goonstation RP" so you know it's a roleplay server.
Now, last year we got a whole butt load of players at once and the server creaked and groaned under the onslaught of 100+ people rounds, so we opened up a couple extra servers and tacked on the word "Overflow" to the names of these servers, to split the load and give everyone a fun experience with as little lag as possible. Well, turns out that works pretty well and those new people stuck around so now there's a bunch of people playing on what was supposed to be a couple of temporary servers.
This week, we're making those overflow servers permanent. Which means we gotta drop that overflow bit of the name. But also, while we're there, we figured "why not rename all the servers so Wire has to move a bunch of server config around, and also to provide a better user experience I guess". This is a pretty big change, so we're gonna wait a little bit to actually do it, so that everyone knows it's coming.
So, without further ado, I announce to you the new Goonstation server list that will be live on Sunday the 31st of January:
When the servers are renamed, please be sure to redo your bookmarks, because your favourite server might be becoming a RP/non-RP server when you're not expecting it. And you wouldn't want to break the rules by doing goofy shit on Sylvester when you were expecting to join overflow, now would you.
Again, these changes are going live on Sunday the 31st of January, put it in yo calendars or something I dunno.
Also, if you have any questions, please do ask them in this thread, which I'm leaving open.
Love, Wire.
