Server IPs changed. Can I migrate ranking?

Hello everyone. I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong forum.

I have been operating the same three servers for the last 5 years. Recently I moved these servers to new IPs.

Rank #318
OLD IP: 209.246.143.162:27015
NEW IP: 66.150.214.228:27016

Rank #793
OLD IP: 68.232.161.2:27015
NEW IP: 66.150.214.228:27017

Rank #1657
OLD IP: 8.6.2.175:27015
NEW IP: 66.150.214.228:27015

I "manage" these servers (both old and new IPs) on GameTracker.com under this account. I migrated the user stats and rankings from all three. However, what matters to me most is the ranking, and I can't find any way of transferring this in my panel. Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer my ranking from the old server to the new one?

Rank doesn't have a "migrate" option, and as you've noticed, it's not a part of the migrate Stats feature.

The only way to "Migrate" rank is to make use of the DNS feature. The DNS feature is a feature that allows owners to enter a DNS address on the page, and if the DNS IP changes, the page will change IPs as well. The main limitation to "migrating" that way is that it requires the ports to remain the same.

You can learn more about that here:

So you could do that on set #3 because the ports are the same. If you do decide to do that, you'd want to migrate the player stats back to the original server first. When the DNS does it's work, it replaces the new server page, not merges.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.
