Server Migration: Success!
Our server migration this morning was a success! The majority of adventurers are reporting that they are viewing the new server and our nifty green banner. If you are able to read this news post, congratulations! You are viewing Santae via the new server!
There have not been any major bugs or glitches that affect the playability of the site. There have been a few minor bugs that we have been made aware of and will address as time allows. As a reminder, our Forums are the best place to make and/or view already reported matters. Please refer to our Bugs, Glitches & Errors Subforums when making a report. Be sure to do your best to put them into the appropriate locations, and our wonderful staff can help guide you to the correct location as well.
As a thank you for bearing with us during this process, we will be sending a Jar of SanDust to all of our users via the sanMail system! These jars contain a random amount of sanDust and, going forward, will exclusively be available as part of giveaways from the Santae Team. Though sanDust itself is not tradable, these Jars of SanDust are tradable!
Jar of SanDust
How much sanDust will be in your Jar?
Community Event: Gathering SanDust Conclusion
Thank you all so much for helping Vespera and Vixon collect sanDust to tame the Mourning Grusim! As a memento of your amazing contributions, we have awarded the Grusim Tamer Event Trophy to everyone that contributed sanDust towards the Community Goal.
For those that missed the event, please do not worry, there will be future opportunities to obtain it! Perhaps in the future, Felix will tell us some more about the Grusim and their origins!
Reminder: Referral Contest is Ongoing!
For every Alpha Tester who uses your username as their referrer, regardless if they are approved or not, you will receive one ticket to enter a raffle for the chance to win an exclusive Divine Natural Wispyr Figurine. We will be raffling off ten (10) figurines. But that's not all -- if you refer five (5) testers you are guaranteed to receive your very own Wispyr Pet!
We are extending our contest and Alpha Applications by two days to account for the server migration! They will now run until 30th July, and winners will be selected one week later. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to earn this Rare Exclusive Pet! The Bring a Friend Referral Medal will also be awarded to those that refer at least one friend during Alpha Testing!
Note: Applications are checked and screened, so please do not file applications just for entries into the contest as this goes directly against our Terms of Service! Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Thank you and good luck!

Server Migration Details
This month has been extremely exciting with lots of growth that would not have been possible without the entire Santae community, including all of our staff and every single Alpha Tester! Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts, we are warmed and touched by the energy and love that you all have shown us!
With your support we were able to secure a more powerful website hosting package with our very own dedicated server! The new server is now online and we are working to move all of Santae's code and database assets over. Once we move the database, there will be a window while we wait for our domain, santae.net to point to the new server!
★ What do I need to know as an Alpha Tester? ★
In order to complete the transfer, we will be making a copy of the database at a specific point in time and transferring it to the new server. Any actions that you perform during this time will not migrate over to the new server. When we have taken the snapshot copy of the database, we will display a message at the top of the screen stating as such.
We will make an exception for cash shop and sanCash purchases, which we will manually award to your account once the transfer is complete.
★ How long will this process take? ★
DNS Propagation is usually quick but in some cases can take up to 48 hours depending on your region.
★ How will I know when the migration has been completed? ★
If the Propagation has taken root for you in your region, you will see a new banner on the top of your screen indicating that you are on the new server. If/when you see this message at the top of the screen - you are free to proceed and play Santae! Your actions will be saved from that point onward, although your account will reflect the state it was in shortly before we took the database snapshot!
Thank you for your patience and support during this exciting time!
As a small token of our appreciation for your patience and understanding, we have sent out one random item from the Sea Sovereign's Conch Cash Shop chest to each existing user. Look out for sanMail from the SantaeTeam soon!
We appreciate each and every one of your for spending your time checking out Santae and Alpha Testing with us!
With Love and Gratitude,
The Santae Team
