Good question. On Saturday night we had a hardware failure and the redundancy that was supposed to kick in, didn't. This caused our login service to become unavailable which stopped many players from getting into the game and unable to access the website. Players who were already in-game were not impacted.
The website being down during this time is why you didn't see any communication on the forums, it was only on social media.
Thank you again for your patience as we worked through the issue this weekend!
