Is there any way to migrate the code base to servers out of Russia? Just wondering if someone would be able to transfer the IP and data, even if it means some loss?

Indeed, last two weeks they were NOT greenies and land on sale, so unless you would like to by green notes on regular price, you are not able to spend your money for ACI think it may be wise to stop spending or buying green notes. At least until we know that AC has a future.
first: who is the owner of the domains? This person or the Admin-C can arrange the movement of the domains to another server.Is there any way to migrate the code base to servers out of Russia? Just wondering if someone would be able to transfer the IP and data, even if it means some loss?
I know it may look grim, but I'm not giving up on Airport City just yet. Things may be on freeze for a while, but I believe they can rejuvenate things once again. It's just a matter of how patient us players can be during this time. Now that GI is in a tough spot, are we going to bail now that the updates arent coming? Or are we going to continue our own game objectives until they get things going again? Now is the time that the truly committed players will shine; I hope to be one of them. As long as my game is playable and my fleet can fly, gameplay continues until I accomplish my main goals.They'll pull through.And there you have it folks, Free2Play has also nailed it, but I didn't want to be as honest as he / she was - The game is pretty much dead now or as we say in England, its on its ass.
The servers that the games connect too are based in Russia, however at the moment they are being routed through a proxy in Estonia (A proxy is like a gateway in between the game and the internet that routes traffic to where ever it needs too, just in case you didn't know) and this is one of the main reasons I have recently had to spend 22 hours a day re-building my development team with Ukrainian Developers who I didn't even knew existed until the old man did what he did and I have to say, I for one am grateful that this great talent pool has now been unleashed as they are the most intelligent and diligent developers I have had the pleasure of meeting.
Anyway, back to the context of my post - In the last 3 months I have lost and had to replace 22 developers, rapidly remove servers from Russia and not without losing tonnes of data because our hosting platform of choice was shutdown almost over night and all we could access was our remote backups.
Now I was very very fortunate in the fact that I had some insurance in place that has covered around 60% of the cost of this and means that hopefully, within a month I will have a crack team of Ukrainian developers all up to speed and can continue with business, but alas, for those companies that were heavily engrained in Russia ( I also have 21 developers in the UK of various guises) the time is now over and I genuinely would not be surprised if within the coming quarter, GI are forced to declare bankruptcy or whatever the process is in Lithuania and put their assets up for sale, because as Free2Play alluded too, this has been catastrophic for them and a lot of innocent companies who placed their faith in the labour market available in Russia, which lets not forget, are just ordinary people like me and you, trying to earn a living.
RIP Airport City
I really need a land expansion but don't know whether to wait for the half price land or just go ahead and use my greenies.Indeed, last two weeks they were NOT greenies and land on sale, so unless you would like to by green notes on regular price, you are not able to spend your money for AC
I would say - keep your greenies for the moment. Either the game will survive and one of the fist action should be to restart the sale of greenies (and land) or it will die and then you don't need the land at all.I really need a land expansion but don't know whether to wait for the half price land or just go ahead and use my greenies.
I pretty much agree, I can just keep buildings in my warehouse until then.I would say - keep your greenies for the moment. Either the game will survive and one of the fist action should be to restart the sale of greenies (and land) or it will die and then you don't need the land at all.
Im fully confident that Airport City will be the last game they would get rid of before they completely dissolve. It's their most profitable game if I recall correctlyI can't see the game going away long term. Someone will buy it, at some point. Especially if the company was previously profitable.
ur dead wrong about ur conclusion & showing a massive ignorance of geo politicsHi all,
This is all destroyed now overnight because of the crazy ambitions of an old man armed with nuclear weapons who completely lost his touch with reality.
like others i wish I had the money to buy them out. ☹the time is now over and I genuinely would not be surprised if within the coming quarter, GI are forced to declare bankruptcy or whatever the process is in Lithuania and put their assets up for sale, because as Free2Play alluded too, this has been catastrophic for them and a lot of innocent companies who placed their faith in the labour market available in Russia, which lets not forget, are just ordinary people like me and you, trying to earn a living.

I agree with you. We all know that some Russians only know 1 side of the story. I have reported these comments.I try usually to stay away of commenting such an idiots, but this one really deserves it.. If you do not understand the reality, better shut up and do not demonstrate your low level of IQ.
It is something I have informally enquired about, whether or not they would be forthcoming with any financial information is another matter. Last years revenue before any deduction, EBITDA etc was $27 million but this will obviously include any tangible assets, other games, revenue etclike others i wish I had the money to buy them out. ☹
💡Ummm, you might want to revisit then IF the information on the internet is true and you are in a serious position. 🤔It is something I have informally enquired about, whether or not they would be forthcoming with any financial information is another matter.
