I followed the instructions on AresMUSH.com for doing an upgrade with restart, didn’t get any error messages that I could see and started the game back up. Everything is still working that I can tell, however, the version still states version 0.10 and Advantages are not in character generation, so I don’t think the upgrade took.
Naturally, I appear to have made it worse. The website wouldn’t come up. So I restored a backup on Digital Ocean, then connected to the shell and ran bin/startares. It completed per normal. I can connect to the game, but the website is stil having invalid key authentication errors and it’s been over an hour.
I got that too after upgrading and just rebooted the game and all was normal.
Actually, scratch that. I got the web portal working again but my version still says 0.10 as well.
I ended up just letting it sit for a few and the website came up after a few hours. I haven’t attempted to upgrade again and am currently on v0.10.
Sorry for the trouble. Can one of you post or PM me the output from when you run the bin/upgrade script? Sounds like I may have broken it.

Ah! Ooops - I forgot there’s a setup step necessary for GitHub commit to work right. You’ll need to run the two commands it gave you (from your server shell):
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name “Your Name”
Since it can’t do the commit to save your changes, the version update fails. The git config should be a one-time setup step.
I’ll fix the instructions. Let me know if you have any further issues with upgrading.
That got it for me. 
That resolved it for me as well. Thank you! And also thank you for putting Advantages back in. I had some stalwarts of my old Buffy games missing them something fierce. It makes a gritty supernatural conversion very doable.
