Mark what is already prepared and identify what still needs attention before opening the server. The checklist updates the readiness score automatically.
The checklist helps expose missing operational, technical, and community tasks, but it cannot predict real player load, mod conflicts, hosting outages, or moderation incidents. A high score means the planned items were reviewed, not that the launch is risk-free.
Give extra weight to backups, restore testing, permissions, network access, staff coverage, player communication, and a documented rollback path.
Invite a small test group and simulate login, progression, restart, backup, restore, support, and emergency communication. Record every manual step so another staff member can repeat it.
Before opening publicly, freeze unnecessary changes. Last-minute mod updates and configuration edits create unknowns when the team should be observing stability and helping players.
No. It's a planning assistant, not a certification. Always do a full test with staff before opening to players.
The current version covers the most common launch needs. Use it as a starting point and add your own items in your staff notes.
