Quote :: Dear Branzone Customer,
Thank you for being our customer and supporting our company, without you we would not be able to do what we love or do what's about to be explained. Beginning this weekend as part of a major infrastructure change at our Chicago Datacenter facility, we will be installing all new networking equipment and server machines. You should only experience minimal downtime during the actual transfer process unless something goes horribly wrong, in which case we apologize now. However we have spent several months planning this upgrade and have managed plenty of similar upgrades over the past 8 years of doing business.

We want to provide an overview of exactly what/when/where/why/how things are going to happen.

What:
- Effected Services: Game/Voice
- Expected Downtime: ~30 minutes

When:
- Beginning no earlier than Monday, October 17th, 2011
- Ending no later than Friday, October 21st, 2011

Where:
- Chicago

Why:
- We like servers and increased capacity/performance!

How:
- The Branzone team will perform a series of magical tasks which cannot be disclosed.

Things to note:
- ALL IP's WILL REMAIN THE SAME
- ALL FILES WILL REMAIN INTACT (except log or demo files, back them up if you need them)
- DOWNTIME WILL BE ~30 MINUTES (as long as nothing horrible happens)
- THE MACHINES WE ARE INSTALLING WILL PROVIDE "FOUR TIMES" THE PERFORMANCE
- THERE SHOULDNT BE ANY NETWORK ROUTING CHANGES IN THE WAY YOU CONNECT TO THE NETWORK

If you have any questions about this change or want to donate by ordering more services (o.o) please reply directly to this email. In all seriousness this is a huge investment for our company, so if you know of anyone in need of game,voice,web services please direct them to us.

Thank you once again for your long lasting continued support.
