What does everyone think of the new server?
Apolyton switched to a new server recently. No longer hosted on GameStats, the new server's name is SETTLER.
What do you think of the server so far? Is it fast? Reliable? Secure? Is it too early to say?

Seems to be a much better service now.
Now hopefully it can stay up longer than its previous averages...

Clearly the new server has worked the last couple of days (part of the reason I have returned). We will see if it stays that effective over the long term.

The transition was well handled. Look at all the problems we had when we switched servers WITHIN Gamestats!!

Not much difference in functionality for me. Which I suppose as the server has moved 4000 miles further away is a good sign.

I click on Favorites, then on Apolyton forums and here I am, no change really but others say it is faster so there should be less sooking about it.
