Serious Issue Found with your game/New Update is ready. You need to shutdown all servers and have everyone rejoin on your new update.
Current flow:
Shutdown all servers
Hope everyone figures it out and rejoins
Proposed flow:
Shutdown all servers
Players are teleported to the new version of the place automatically
Currently you can do this by teleporting them multiple times, but that’s just compiling to a list of potential points of failure. I feel like this flow would be appreciated by many developers and players.
I feel this would be a great idea but with one modification. Maybe on shutdown it should also prompt a UI to pop up asking if the player wants to be transferred to a new server.
that could work, however maybe not depending on the game, lets take trade hangout as an example.
You want to join the bigger servers, and merely wouldn’t want to have all the servers after a so called “restart” to be locked away.
