As some of you are no doubt aware the forums and game were down for an extended period today.

This was caused by a technical problem at the data centre that hosts several of our internal servers (including the forums).

We cannot go into detail but unfortunately, due to the above, current measures that are keeping the forums running are temporary. They will go down again at some point this evening. They will be up again sometime between this evening (post-downtime) and tomorrow (no exact ETA as yet). Our new solution is intended to be more permanent.

We apologise sincerely for these issues but we do hope to see our forum visitors again as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.
