Maybe evony devs should stop with their daily maintenance. That would be awesome. No maintenance for a week. Sweet deal. Or how about a new server in which you pay monthly to be on? (Not popular for our non-spenders) But its an idea nonetheless![]()

I think there were posts here and there about people getting the "Network Connection Error" message from this server.
I also think that this server used to be hosted out of California and not Washington, where all the other problem servers seem to be...
That said, when I ping battless46.evony.com, I now have a Washington data center IP, 208.88.18.151. The 208 IPs are in Washington, where as the 64s are in California.
The only way to know for sure if this is the case is to see if there are traces of DNS history for the server being at the Cali address block.
Good thing I'm not sleepy...
Edit: Current actual game server name is m00046-ad.evony.com at 208.88.18.51. The battless46.evony.com is at 208.88.18.151.
Edit2: I can only find this information out if I pay for a lookup / history site subscription. I am relatively sure that the server has been moved though. I'd say 90% or so. If it was relocated, that could explain the lengthy delay, as the process would go generally like this:
Cali server shut down.
Washington server up or brought up.
Data transfer initiated. <--- That's where the majority of the variability in time to completion comes into play.
Data transfer completed.
Server processes brought back up.
Some tests to make sure things look ok. Minimal load, so no load test at this point.
Change network routing / DNS.
Open the server for login.

Interesting... im also thinking along the same path...
If their "upgrades" involved rerouting to another area...
Which can explain the really bad lag happening today :/
If that's the case... i wonder why evony would intentionally put an existing server on defective hardware![]()

Is ss46 down again ??? to days running???
oh and thanks for the 500k food for yesterday i only lost 100mil while the
server was down.
How about employing people who have some idea how to run this game.![]()
gee 500mil Mel that wouldn't have even feed you cat LOL
so we had 'extended' maintenance yesterday, a ridiculously poor compensation package, and now the server is worse than ever, have barely been able to get a farm run out, and now maintenance has hit earlier than usual. time to troll the internet and see if i can find a more reliable game, suggestions please people...avoiding such things as farmtown/ville....or other such nonsense!!
Thanks

hmm, and i did ask a question in my very first post on this thread....but been moved to general discussion section instead of help and questions.....was my question invisible???
They haven't a clue what Adtaq (the hosting provider in Washington) is doing, in my opinion, and neither does Adtaq, also my opinion. M5 Hosting (San Diego) seems to do a much better job in general, but that's where the game-wide outage happened at a few weeks ago, so dunno....
Hello Evony!
On Server SS46, we had an "Extended Maintanance" that lasted 7hrs+ yesterday.
The reason for this was, as quoted: "Greetings! We've taken ss46 offline somewhat early to do some maintenance which should improve performance. We expect this server to be offline for about another 1-2 hours. Thanks for your patience while we work to improve the game!"
Apparently, the opposite has happened.
Lag is a LOT WORSE NOW.
Here are examples of what's happening now:
Funny eh?
Before the "Extended Maintenance", SS46 was doing fine. No complaints about lag, etc. Now, everyone is experiencing unbearable lag.
This could only bring to mind horror stories about SS57, 54, 60....
*Crosses fingers that SS46 isn't heading down the same path*
Any help from the Evony Gods would be appreciated
