Yep I am getting lots of these too… Server / traffic issues? ---

Sorry… Our servers got flooded on the event changeover. Give it 5-10 minutes and it should return to normal. We keep raising the server resources every week but we’ve got a small problem (the kind of problem you LIKE to have) where so many more players keep joining every week! EDIT: I’m actually sitting in an airport in Florida right now, so I can’t raise them immediately, but I promise we’ll try to raise them even more next week! ---

@Jainus Indeed, very technical. ---

I dunno… I think this might be a chat issue? I left the in-game chatroom, and the problem stopped. ---

I sense a hidden conspiracy… but the truth will be told… Bunni’Nog ate all the server resources. ---

New troops really like eating the servers lately, huh? Though I’m not sure the server would classify for Knight class, I’d think it more a Construct. ---

Bunni’Nog is getting his degree, so he goes for ‘night classes’, too. 😉
