I’m still having problems. Steam won’t sync (with cloud?) and the game won’t load now. ---

Well I’m getting a bit fed up now - yet another battle won and being told it has already finished. Giving up for today ☹ . Think I’ll go and read a book. ---

What was your reason for editing the title of the thread? ---

Good morning all (or evening/afternoon/night for appropriate timezones), Well THAT was unexpected! Sorry for the lack of response, but I wasn’t in the office. I actually sat here in the office monitoring the servers through our peak usage period (2am AEDT), and waited until 3:30am AEDT. Everything was looking good, when I left, but apparently some problems occurred at 3:50am AEDT and then happened intermittenly 4 times over the next 5 hours for about 10-15 minutes each time. Things seem to be back on track now however. Andrew, our Tech Lead, is currently allocating a big bunch of extra database resources. We’ve also identified 2 problem pieces of server code that caused the issue (involving guild weekly reset & guild tasks). I’m going to work on rewriting those today. ---

Also the gold tracking incorrectly on weekly totals has popped up again. ---

We’re just adding a bunch more database resources to cope with the load. There’ll be some lag for a minute or two as we roll over to the new servers, so don’t be alarmed! ---
