As early as next week, our On-site Techs will be migrating the Billing Database over to their new servers. The actual data migration testing has taken almost 6 hours on the nose each time, so that's a fairly reliable starting point for how long this is going to take.
The impact won't be as bad as you might think, it just means people won't be able to log in during that window. If you're already in the game when we start the process, you'll be fine (unless you get booted for some reason).
To lessen the "damage", we're also planning on starting this process around 1 or 2 AM Central, which means we should be in the clear by 8 or 9 AM Central, I'd think.
Once we get a solid date, I'll let you know. The goal is to get this done by Wednesday at the latest, but since this is a 6 hour long process to "test", each bug they uncover adds at least another day to the task.
