Downtime, boooo
We've had two bouts of downtime over the last couple days. The first one lasted about
three hours, the second for about forty-five minutes. During this time, the game
went down completely. The forums stayed up but refused to let anybody log in,
since login details couldn't be authenticated against the game.
The problem seems to lie somewhere in our software (as opposed to a network fault or,
as is usually the case, a NOT-QUITE-SO-UNINTERRUPTIBLE power supply unit). We haven't
figured out what, exactly, so it's possible that this may happen again before
we do. But! Like I always say, every failure is a step along the road to success. So we are
succeeding SO HARD right now.
