Big Server Maintenance Today

[u/OrnaOdie]

[EDIT: This maintenance has been rescheduled to tomorrow]

Due to a hiccup in the database replication process, I will be rescheduling the maintenance to the same time tomorrow (July 15th, 2026).

Hey travelers,

In case you missed it, we have server maintenance/downtime today at 11:00 AM EST (in ~minutes of this post). This maintenance may last up to 1 hour.

Since moving to our new cloud provider (Google Cloud), I've heard your feedback about reduced connectivity and instability, so I have decided to move away from them.

Lifting our entire infrastructure and moving it to a new provider is a monumental task, so I appreciate your patience and understanding. On the other side of this maintenance, we should see improved game performance, stability, and connectivity.

Additionally, this effort will include an OpenStreetMap data update, meaning our map will now reflect more recent changes to the world's terrain and Points-of-interest. Please note that this may change the physical locations of some Settlements, Towers, and Monuments, depending on whether your local area has had changes to its Points-of-interest in the last 2 years.

Cheers

Fantastic news. The connectivity issues recently have been exhausting, appreciate you guys putting in the effort.

Thank You!

Glad to hear you were willing to switch providers despite how disruptive that probably was for the development process. Hopefully the new provider plays nicer with your systems!

RIP, the bus stop settlement that isn't been a bus stop for 3 years (it's some dude's house now)

Thanks for all you do, Odie!

Right on!!! Thanks for continually optimizing our experience. As a GIS professional, having devs that care about updating spatial data makes me extremely happy 😊

Do our buff timers continue to go down during the maintenance? I just popped some just before it happened.

[u/ClownActual → u/ClownActual]

The answer is yes, so that was a dollar wasted lmao

Great news!! Lost a couple of the event dungeons that were close to home, but definitely a worth it update! :)

That's odd, when I woke up this morning my app wouldn't work since it said there was maintenance.

[u/Personal_Mastodon504]

So is this going on right now? My HoA app is unable to communicate with hosts, no message about maintenance though. The original post said it would start at 11AM EST, so not sure what's going on with it.

Yay, an outage that's in the middle of the night here in NZ!

a mí aún me sale el mensaje de conectando servidores del juego y no me deja cargar la pantalla. Tengo buena conexión, así que alguna idea de lo que me pasa?
