it should still be moving to the US, but yes i agree an update would be good.

Jiro has received the hardware I send him. He build the system and we're now in the process of setting up ESXi and getting the ARK VM up and running.
I received the motherboard, cpu, heat sink, and some 600 GB hard drives from InsaneJ 3 days ago. Since then I've assembled the server.
Currently the specs are:
- MSI X99A SLI PLUS Motherboard
- Intel Xeon Processor E5-2680 v4
- 28 Threads
- 14 Cores
- Normally 2.40 GHz base frequency (2.20 GHz base as it's an ES chip), Possible 3.30 GHz Max Turbo
- SuperMicro CSE-743TQ Black 4U Chassis
- 2x Seagate Enterprise Capacity 6TB 7.2K RPM SAS 256MB Cache 512e HDD
- 2x Western Digital VelociRaptor 600GB 10k RPM SATA 32MB Cache HDD
- 4x Crucial 16GB 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM
- Dell ATI Radeon B120 256MB Graphics Card
- LSI Megaraid SAS 9260-8i SATA/SAS Controller 6G Raid Card
The HDDs will be put into 2 arrays running Raid 1. Currently we're working on running ESXi with VMWare controlling a couple of virtual machines (which we already do for Ark)
Setting everything up will take some time, please bear with us
I manged to get one of the servers online for testing. There's still a lot of loose ends to tie up such as config fixing, networking, security stuff, and auto script handling but we're making some serious progress now
This is absolutely NOT a complaint to you, Jiro, just to higher fates or whatever... But from the progress you make, it looks like PvE Ark might go live just when I go on 2 weeks vacation...
(Okay, I'm a crazy person to be a bit sad about going on a vacation to a nice, warm island ).
I'm back and so are the Ark servers....kinda. i was able to log in to crystal isle ok.
Rag......is there but not. crap ton missing. so need to know if i should move thing to CI or wait til someone reads this and checks rag. i saw vanilla things and s+ things but there is a a lot missing so i dont know where the issue may lay.
Aaaah! Okay, two more weeks, don't take all the cool spots on Crystal Isles
