Server maintenance and update

[Kuxii]

Hello everyone, this is your News!
We have something important to announce!
As many of you know, I’ve been working in the background on the next major update for some time now. 
Since I have a long weekend coming up, I’d like to use this opportunity to roll out the update.
In addition to the update, I’ve noticed that the last full server backup was quite a while ago. 
It’s definitely time for a new one.

Here’s the plan:
Thursday: I will create a fresh server backup and archive it properly. 
(The server will remain online, but please note that it might experience some temporary sluggishness or reduced performance during the process.)

Friday morning: I’ll begin the update process. Typically, player activity is low at that time, which makes it the perfect window.

I’ve scheduled roughly three hours for the update. Why so long?
I’ve decided to build native Linux versions of the services, which means I’ll need to:

Update the server monitoring tools
Update the server starter
Set up and configure new server builds
Make various additional adjustments

Because of this, the update will take a bit longer than usual.
Please note: The web interface may not be fully functional right after the update, as some API requests still need to be adjusted. 
However, everything should be back to normal by the evening, and you’ll be playing on an improved and optimized server.
I’ll also provide a detailed changelog after the update – it’s quite an extensive list!

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
