Creatures Caves Downtime

The website will be going down this weekend, probably on Sunday, due to the fact that the host is phasing out MySQL version 4.0. Therefore all of the databases will have to be exported and reimported to a new MySQL database, which will take a bit of time.

In order to make sure no data is lost in the process, the website will need to be shut down for several hours or so. Please don't be alarmed if the website gives a notice that it is down, for it will return a few hours later.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Good to know it won't be down for too long either!

I think a few of us would suffer withdrawal symptoms.

Will the creatchi timers still run as normal during the downtime?

Crazy to think that CC.com has been around long enough to see a change in standards...

Unfortunately they will, but it shouldn't take more than a couple hours which is much shorter than the normal span that it takes for levels to drop.

So in that sense it shouldn't be an issue, unless maybe a Creatchi were on its deathbed and the owner was just about to save it in the last three hours, but the site was down so they couldn't. In which case, I apologize.

Thanks for the information! I hope that everything goes smoothly.

Coincidentally, my host emailed me some days ago that they are going to upgrade from PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.4.
