So most of us mainly focus on other tasks keeping fingers crossed that the update process will go smoothly and as planned.

Of course, Akananto is in alert in case Guido or Craban come running to him in panic with a technical problem. The content team is also prepared for really urgent bug fixes.

For the product managers, however, the day of the update is actually 2 days long. A day before the update, Guido and Craban already prepare everything and go through the entire update process once on a special test server on which they copied the backup of one random game world.

After the process is completed, they also hop on the test server to check whether everything looks like it is supposed to.

If everything is OK, they finally change the settings for the update from target "test server" to target "all real servers". All of us are almost bursting with excitement at that time.

oday, July 4th, we had to shut down all game worlds for 3 hours due to a critical bug that enabled characters to gain experience very quickly. The bug has now been fixed and all concerned characters have been identified and reset.
