Regarding https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4350/marti-dice-service-website-issues ,
especially https://forums.triplea-game.org/post/78155

I would kindly ask you to go to
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/
and inform the big PBF-community about the sudden and totally unexpected shut-down and your plans.

This will affect all ongoing League games and other forum-games as well as (planned) tournaments.

On this forum PBF is still broken ( https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14440 ) but the other forum relies on an ongoing working dice-server.

Thank you!

The willingness to pay is appreciated, but it's more if we carry the old dice server forward for another month, then why not another 3 months? When does it end?

A) we need the new server vetted out.
B) Really, we need that money going to the main servers. I need to check in with Prastle, but I think we're broke right now.

The old dice server is $25/month only because it's so old, Linode has been raising the price on us because of it. Since we can't migrate the code off, we've been stuck. It is looking pretty positive so far that 2026-06 is going to last.

i guess there is no ability send update notifications in the pre 2.6 clients so i suppose everyone will just find out when it happens to them.

btw im not getting notified of your replies bc you are replying to the thread.

Once that is done, I'll toggle the in-game messaging to upgrade and would turn off the 2.5 dice server. Could be hours away from it really. If we don't get those few people in safely and something is a matter.. then it might be days/weeks until we get back to trying to migrate.

even if we can put something vague like "we expect to take down the 2.5 compatible servers within the next 2 days/week/whatever" it wud be better then me just saying "upgrade right away we dont know when we are turning off the existing servers but we’ll do it when it feels right so upgrade right away.” or some such.

the message will need to propagate bit i reckon.

@ubernaut no hard date other than upgrade now... having everyone upgrade all at once is a recipe for utter disaster.. so I'm nervous about sending the communication out just yet. Ideally this would be way more gradual, and someone who had yet to upgrade at all could confirm that everything went smoothly

Shouldn't we encourage to update to at least
2026-June-13 - 2026-06.16.15640
(instead of any 2.7) ?

  • update to 2.7 now
  • re-register for dice rolls @ dice.triplea-game.org
  • the dice emails are almost certainly going to go into spam (until that is fixed)

I'm most concerned at the moment about the herd migrating to 2.7 and there then being a big problem. The shut down of 2.5 bots and dice server will likely happen in pretty quick succession.

@LaFayette said:

Were there any issues registering with the new server? Seems that is the outstanding point of communication that would need to happen (along with, upgrade now!)

I can confirm that registering, confirming and testmail work with
2026-06.16.15640!

Thank you, that will certainly help!

I'm concerned about that group, the people that have done the most testing have had 2.6 or 2.7 installed for some time, I'm concerned about the latest/fresh installs and there being a major blow up there. I am infinitely less concerned about the dice server right now than I am about the primary upgrade path.

#1 the old server is already kaput?
#2 the fix is to update to current client and re-register with the new marti server?

just want to get this message out to the reddit sub at least

@Panther fwiw @nothingtoseehere seems to be able to produce marti rolls currently i just got a test one from him

Likely from the current (old) Marti server, I assume?
As @lafayette stated the new one is not yet "ready"...
