FEBRUARY HOUSE-KEEPING

The reset on Saturday February 4 will be longer than the usual ten seconds, so that Bella can carry out the monthly house-keeping and off-site backups.

During the house-keeping, the Fed II persona file will be purged of unused characters, which saves storage space and also frees up names. A character is considered to be unused if it is a GroundHog or Commander, it hasn't been in the game for at least a month, and it doesn't have any slithy toves.

This month the house-keeping will coincide with some maintenance by Net Access, who look after our computers. They will be upgrading the power supplies which means all of our servers will need to be shut down briefly. This will make the downtime a bit longer, but the whole thing shouldn't last more than an hour.

There is one thing you need to be warned about... anyone who still plays classic Fed should be aware that there's always a chance that the creaking old hardware won't come back up again after it's been turned off. So classic Fed planet-owners might want to log a walkthrough of your planets before Saturday - just in case!
