Dear HWS Community [@everyone](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/groups/everyone)  
let me post it here, so it does not get lost in the chat channel:  
The full wipe / migration procedure is ongoing, first I want to test it locally on my own server though.  
The screenshot shows the process, which is already running since 3+ hours.  
If I interpolate it to the migration in production, we won’t make it today 😬 (will debug why it takes so long as well and maybe find something)

During the wait and long overdue, I created a survey for you - mainly about HWS but also Empyrion.  
If you have a bit of time, I would appreciate your honest feedback about 7 questions - a little goodie as compensation included (items and HWS DNA):

> **[How to improve HWS](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdM6DG_sdwAI-P-5_p9vhZ1PmUiWyehaT2xT0iG5cdMkU3UJA/viewform?usp=send_form)**

> HWS started in March 2016 and grew since then to the most popular server. Combined with Eleon adding features and mechanics non stop, it is very hard to balance everything, make right decisions to an always changing game.

> While I love what I am...

That being said, thanks in advance for your patience - as soon as we are getting close to the start, I’ll make another announcement here.  
Happy waiting 🐈
