As a reminder this Saturday (5/21/22 at 12PM Pacific, 2PM Central, 3PM Eastern, 7PM GMT) we are transitioning the WWII Online campaign server from Oregon --> New Jersey (all other colocation services will remain in Oregon). This means game services will be offline for several hours, and a lot of advanced work has gone into this to reduce that downtime. This change represents the very first time WWII Online has EVER been on the East Coast of the USA, and it also marks a monumental move forward in our ability to deploy services as needed throughout the world. 

All of our preliminary testing (including three stress tests with players) showed better connectivity, less lag / random ping spikes. This will act as a critical middle-ground for up to 90% of our players between North America and Europe. We anticipate European customers to have the very best connection they've ever had to our servers, and we've seen ping times drop quite a bit comparatively. From a gaming perspective, this will reduce players warping / rubber banding between these two continents because the time to travel to the server and for your client to receive updates are much more reasonable. This is a big deal! Please pass the word to fellow community members about what CRS is doing to improve your gaming experience. Thank you!

From the desk of the Game Manager: This Thursday (November 11th) we will be conducting server maintenance between 8:00PM-10:00PM pacific time (GMT -8). This will be back end database / update which will cause the campaign to be offline. The training server will likely be not accessible as well. CRS will provide text updates through the official discord (join here). Thank you for your continued support.

For awhile we have been considering ideas on how to improve network communication between North America & Europe, the bulk of where our worldwide customer base is located. Today we're ecstatic to report that the next step in this exploration which will be in the form of an important live stress test coming this Saturday January 15th at 11AM Pacific Time (1PM Central, 2PM Eastern, 7PM GMT) on an all-new WWII Online server with uber specs located in New Jersey, USA. This marks our first step towards going to the cloud and it also acts as a perfect middle ground between the two continents and our in-house European testers have reported a rather significant drop in ping time. If this all works then we should see less lag reports and player deaths should synchronize more cleanly and quickly.

Remember, this is all exploration and the Oregon based servers will remain in position. Please continue reading for event details provided by TEX64 (Community Manager) and mark your calendars to attend, this is really important!

Matt "Xoom" CallahanAll services will be offline from 12PM-1PM Tuesday, August 24th 2021 for network maintenance. We anticipate 1 hour downtime but could be subject to more based on how things develop. Continuous upgrades to enhance our security and latest firmware is paramount to up keeping our infrastructure. Discord will remain online as well as social media for updates directly from CRS. This will affect all services (campaign / servers / websites / forums / etc). Thanks for your understanding in advance. S!
