Hello. I am sorry for machine translation. Help. Owing to circumstances, my provider has replaced to me IP address. How to keep statistics of players from the old server on the new address?

There is no feature to transfer statistics to a new server page or just modify the IP : Port of an existing page. If you have a new IP or join port, you must add the new combination.

There may be some feature in the future to help in the situation of using a new address. We cannot give an accurate time frame when something could potentially be created.

If your server is just as popular at the new IP, you will jump up in the rankings back to where you would have been. If your server is not as popular, it will go down to the same ranking in either situation - if the servers old rank was kept or if the server started at a low rank. Ranking is determined from a one month time period, so the server will be to where it should be in the ranking very quickly. The algorithm looks more closely at the recent week or so, so you should notice the biggest jumps fairly quickly.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

As it is a pity! Most of all it would not be desirable to lose the personal statistics of players. To you personally many thanks for the fast and detailed answer.
