Congratulations on what seems to have been a smooth series of hardware upgrades.
Does this by any chance free up some servers that could be used to upgrade the void sim servers?
Thanks in advance,

Tip, thank you!
While historically, some voids have been the result of older servers being put to good use, what actually is happening now is you'll find that newer hardware--a single Class 4 server divided many ways--is used as a home for void regions. I'll give an example: internally, Omidyar, Algol, Haploa, Sidra, and 12 other voids are all on the same Class 4 server. That's 16 on one server. Normally, on a Class 4 server, there'd be four regions performing healthily. But voids get divided further, understandably because they're not meant for intensive activity. You may also want to check out Max Case's Resident-run project, Sim Neighbors, to find out more, and add to the database. ![]() _____________________
