Hey all!
So the existing GP server hasn't been updated since the site was launched. Thanks to the amazing help from @adam and @vaguegm, we got a staging server up a few months ago, For those who don't know, a staging server is one that's used to test new code/systems before it goes onto production (prod), which is where you all are playing now.
The staging server's purpose was to test our a new mechanism to get servers live, as well as create a replicatable environment for features. Staging worked great, and thanks to VagueGM, it led to a new prod server that seems to be running great! The thing is... I can only test so much.
I'd love if folks could head to new.gamersplane.com and play around a bit. You don't have to worry about screwing up any data; before we go live, I'll do a final copy. If everything looks good over the weekend/through Monday/Tuesday, I can setup a time to move to the new server. It'll take between a few hours to a day, during which GP may or may not be available to each of you, depending on a host of things I can't really control but will do my best to minimize.
So go forth, have fun with the new server, and let me know if anything is broken. If I don't hear anything is broken by Monday Thursday night ET, I'll schedule the switch over for next Saturday, so take the time to look.
