@darktyui No I mean once you guys get the server ready you give an exact time and date for when it will come up so its fair for everyone to start at the same time
This is what I would like to see as well. This is also what I think the original plan was. However, I don't know that it's going to work this way. Staff is working really hard to get the new server ready. They've been working on it for months now. With official news about a new server, many people have quit playing the current server. The longer this period of waiting goes on the more users will drift away to other things. In order to mitigate this it's best that the new server go up as soon as possible. However, sooner means less accurate information about when the server will go up and also the possibility that when it does go up it won't be as stable and lag free as we would like.
Personally, I would prefer staff take their time and make everything perfect. I'm sure that they will try. Optimistically players will come back even if it's a long wait, and by some miracle we'll have a stable and fair start to the new server. Pessimistically we should prepare for an unfair start to the new server. It's likely there will be some warning given. Maybe not enough for all of us. It's also possible that even when when it does there will be issues. 1.9 is officially released but it's still got bugs. Yes many of the more serious ones like the one with end portals teleporting you into the void have been patched, but there's still performance issues as far as I know.
