Good Evening [@everyone](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/groups/everyone)

the new [HWS EU server](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/hws-eu-new-server-migration-announcement/27099) migration was initially successful! Better than we expected, even after some fails and working 7 hours straight on it… the current CSW issues have to be checked by Jascha though. ~~Hopefully nothing bigger broke.~~  
EU suffered since 5pm from Database corruption. The whole Database got broken for unknown reasons yet. We will try to fix it now… I knew it was too good to be true…

But, as you saw with the EXP patch today: the new patch has a more or less date now.  
15th December is the release Eleon plans and I will see if I am able to finish my HWS 14 work by then or need longer.  
I really want to make it an awesome release so I don’t kill myself on deadlines again.  
Especially since it isn’t only HWS I am doing, you know.  
I updated my Invader vs Defender Scenario for the Official Servers (see EXP release notes), I released a huge eWCCT update, so everyone can enjoy the new Content:

and some real life issues are still going on.

I really try my best to reveal all new HWS 14 content soon guys. It’s incredible stressful for me right now…

# HWS X-mas Event 2020

As promised, we run our traditional X-mas Event nevertheless! For the fourth time! Quite impressive to be honest how fast time runs by…

> Hi HWS Community, wow, it’s X-mas time again! What a year… Looking at my blueprints I can’t believe my eyes… 3 years tradition slight_smile [image] Happy 1st Advent candleAs always, we will release each day the lock code for the Doors. 24 Doors in total of course. I slightly changed the loot but again, it’s a consecutive reward! (each day you get more and more!) Make sure to restart your game now to get the new PDA X-mas Mission. So let’s start and make sure to come back e…

TL;DR:

- Press F1 to open your PDA
- Go to the Solo Mission Tab and activate the X-mas Event 2020
- Go to the ECC Planet, to the X-mas Advent Wreath and use the Codes below to open the Door
- Inside, go to the Trigger Plate to get your gift

That way we can dive into it right away 🎅  
_It’s a PDA event, so a server restart is needed_

Alright guys. We found the issue and fixed the issue. Unfortunately at 5pm a database corruption happened in combination with asynchronous backup / database lock.

There was no other chance than to roll back to our 5pm backup. So in worst case 3 hours reverted.

Sorry for the inconveniences!

Rex, with all you have going on, I think the Xmas event is really to your credit. Great job on managing the EU transition (hiccups to be expected) and thanks again for your attention & dedication to the game & HWS. I know of no better admin for any server in any game … well maybe 1, but it’s REALLY close 🙂
