Site Upgrade This Week, Downtime Expected!

Here's some exciting news for everyone. This week, we will be performing some very large and extensive upgrades to PSO-World. We've been long overdue for a software upgrade and are pleased to announce that the forums will be first area of the site to get a major overhaul. This Thursday and Friday (and perhaps Saturday & Sunday as well), we will be converting the existing forums over to a new, cutting-edge forum system, complete with loads of new features and functionality! During this process, we do expect there to be significant downtime that will cause the forums, and possibly the entire site, to be unreachable. Don't worry, though, we will be working hard to get everything back up and running as quickly as possible.

As part of the upgrade, we will be carrying over as much of our existing information and data as possible, so there's no need to worry about your PSOW account or information posted on the current boards, it will all be there waiting for you in the new system. We do, however, strongly advise everyone to update their account information with a valid email address. After the upgrade, everyone will need to log in to the site again, so it is important that you either know your PSOW password or have a valid email address listed in your account settings so that the password can be retrieved.

This week's upgrade will bring a number of very useful, as well as highly requested, features to the site. We're really excited about the overall level of improvement over the previous system and look forward to hearing everyone's feedback once the upgrade has completed! We'll try to post more information on the new features later in the week, so stay tuned!
