The momentous day draws nigh! And to give a bit more of a timeline for our November 3 reboot; the server will be shut down around 8:00 AM Central time on Friday, November 3, which will be the official end to the 3rd edition of the Thay persistent world. After that, the server vaults and databases will be cleared, a number of updates will be applied, and I'll be doing some verification of things within 4th edition module while the server will be temporarily password protected. I am estimating around 1-2 hours to complete these steps.

So if all goes well, the ultimate goal though is to remove the temporary password and start the 4th edition of Thay and the Underdark at 10:00 AM Central time on November 3!!!

Also, I'd like to mention that the custom content download for Thay has been significantly revised (behind the scenes) and over 1 GB of (uncompressed) new content has been added to it. This means when you first connect to the server after we begin our 4th edition, there will be a large automatic download that will occur for every player, as well.
