    We will be performing maintenance on our webserver cluster starting at 2am CT on the 7th. This work is to move the website, forum, and game authentication databases to new hardware. This work will require an intrusive work window (meaning the website and game logins will not be available during the procedure).

    The work is expected to last up to an hour and new logins to the game will not be allowed until the work is completed. Players already in game at the start of the work window should be able to continue to play.

    Also please note that this work will occur *after* 2XP and the sales are disabled at the end of the 6th CT, so this work will not impact players trying to get every minute they can of 2XP time. :)

    REMINDER: We will be working on our Webserver cluster at 2am CT on the 7th, Moving the Website, Forum, and game login to new hardware. This requires that Website and Game logins will not be available for about 1 hour).

    Players in game at that time will be able to keep playing. (if a player logs out during the downtime, they will not be able to log back in)

    All work is expected to be completed by 3am CT

    The above maintenance has been shifted to Wednesday at 2am CT. (the work has been moved due to a scheduling conflict)

    The Website maintenance had to be postponed (again) due to personnel availability issues.

    The re-scheduled work window is for Monday the 13th at 2am CT . We will post a new thread as we approach the window to confirm.
