The game itself was never 'down' as such, but logging in was impossible for a majority of users.
All who did succeed should have received the 'Maintenance Mode' error message. (Although the nature of the issues could have made my switch inoperable; this is something that is being investigated.)


Thank you for (self-)reporting, appreciate it. I am considering (verifying) a rollback to 00:00 GameTime Wednesday, that should make this point moot and level out any damage taken. Everyone will be on PPT when we go live again; staggered as usual. Your PPT will be 24h +0, 3, or 6 hours.

Punishment for players who were able to login (with or without reporting)?

And any repayment for lost resources to those who weren't the benefactors of this event/loses for those who were benefactors?

Roll back means a back up will be restored from before the downtime occured.

It will be like ... it never happend ... and a freeby ppt

Since my earlier comment could be considered ambiguous as Moriarty spotted (thanks, I missed that!), I will specify:
The whole game will be rolled back, i.e. everyone. This is a complete rollback to the latest backup (of this morning).

The amount of downtime this game has seen over the years is quite respectable for the gaming world.
