Information about the Server Migration
Dear Community,
we are happy to announce that the redesign of Viticulture Essential Edition is available for you. The redesign, the implementation of our mainmenu 2.0 and the simultaneous migration to our new server went fine and we are now applying feedback in order to straithen out flaws.
This is a list of things connected to the migration:
– Account migration – Everybody who owns our game Gaia Project is already present on our new server. All others will now have the possibility to migrate their account also by updating Viticulture with the coming update.
– How is it done and what will be migrated? – Simply update viticulture and start the game. By opening up your profile you will see that your name and your statistics were migrated. If your former name was taken by someone else you will find an add on to the name after your old one. If you created a new one with Gaia Project already your ID token will be recognized and the Username of the already existing Account will be used. Avatars need to be altered after migration.
If you own other games that are still on the old server you will see a placeholder with blank statistics. As soon as those games are migrated the stats will be included.
Friend list – Please read this carefully… Your friend list will be migrated but it will only show entries of friends that completely migrated already to the new server! Users that do not download the new version and log into their account at least once will not be shown in the friend list. The only exception is if an account was part of a migrated running game. In this case the entry exists on the new server but the Stats will be available only after their first log in.
Ranking – will be migrated. Ranking will only show those who already logged in at least once with the new client.
Replays – We do not migrate saved replays of the account. The feature remains, though.
Running games – Ranked games / fast running games / casual games will be migrated and can be played on. We turned off the time out kicking till mid of January in order to give people the chance to get done with the migration. Games that are “game over” will not be migrated. (Local games won´t be migrated.)
So far from our side. We will inform you when we are set.
Till soon,
your DD-Team
