All three universes are under maintenance.

Some expected downtimes will happen. Any major hits during our official downtimes will be reversed.

The downtimes are not expected to be more than 3 and they are not expected to exceed a few minutes.
Therefore we will not imply an attack limitation as we do not expect anything major to happen.

First downtime has already took place. About 2 more to go. I will be updating here.

Second downtime lasted 1 second. Third downtime also took place; It lasted about 30 seconds. Probably we will have one more but we don't expect it to last more than 10 seconds so from now on, no further protection is offered.

Foruth downtime took place. As expected, it lasted only a few seconds. There might be one more similar in the next 30 minutes.

Some unexpected error during final step resulted in unexpected downtime of about 10 minutes. We will fix what caused it and retry installing it in about 5 minutes. Most probably there will be no issues this time.

Meanwhile, you can uss https to ensure you will not be affected by any downtime (not possible in Massacre).

There has been one final downtime that we could not avoid. General, it was a tough procedure as we updated some critical areas that we haven't touched for a long time - just to avoid this downtime.

Although that we could have avoided this surprising 10 minutes downtime, it is still not a long time in comparison to the game life. In the last 3 years, we have had few downtime due to updates. To put it straight; some things require downtime.

Hopefully, these updates will fix the issue we have noticed yesterday. If not, we will be moving out to a new machine in the near future as we are suspecting that the hard disks performance has dropped.

Maintenance on the servers has been completed.
