**Metalforge Server RC v1.12.0 Update**
**September 2003 – January 2025**
The current Metalforge Crossfire Server is scheduled to go offline
around January 2025.
Changes in hosting requirements have made it impossible to continue
running the server in its current form. The v1.12.0 code base
depends on outdated packages and an operating system version that no
longer meets the minimum requirements of the updated hosting
architecture. Furthermore, new hosting policies prohibit the use of
these older software components.
I am currently exploring the possibility of migrating existing
player files to a new server. However, transitioning to the latest
Trunk development code base will introduce the following changes:
- **Guilds**: All guilds will be purged and reset.
- **Skills and Experience Levels**: Players will lose a significant
amount of experience and levels (the exact amount is yet to be
determined).
- **Apartments**: Some apartment maps may experience issues. Updates
to movement code and the use of outdated archetypes could result in
tiles blocking player movement (e.g., grates that previously allowed
movement may now block it). These issues will need to be addressed
on a case-by-case basis.
These compatibility issues have been documented on the website:
http://www.metalforge.net/compatibility/index.html)
Further updates will be posted as progress is made or in response to
questions here.
