The Team, obviously, rocks. It is therefore a shame that you will be eternally known as

The Servergriefers!

Seriously, great work, all.

*Lights a candle for every member of the team that'll move the servers. Readies his crystal ball to watch the move live from his lair. Whispers*

If one of you is clumsy enough to let drop one of those servers I'll blow his light and he'll have to live in the darkness forever.

*starts to laugh insanely*

Thumbs up for the team !!! You guys simply rock !!!!

Looking forward to playing in a lag-free world !

did anyone ever answer this question

I'm just wondering since the servers has been down past day or so or atleast when i try them. i'm new but already going thru withdrawls from no play time. this place is very addictive i guess lol.

Jordicus has already said that the planned downtime will be announced. This downtime has not been announced. Ergo, this is not the planned downtime. This is unplanned downtime, which means it was not planned for, and thus the problem may well be unknown and is probably outside of the control of the Team and thus giving any estimate of when it will be fixed impossible so you'll have to wait. Yes it sucks, but take your frustration and multiply it by about 1,000,000, and you'll have the level of frustration everyone in the Team who is working on it is experiencing, roughly, though it's probably a conservative estimate.
So please be patient and find something else to do for a while, because complaining about it here will just make the guys even more frustrated, and make them wonder why they're working so hard and getting so frustrated about something they do in their spare time for free.
It's a beautiful time to be alive, read a book, go for a run, call your mother, wash the car, bury the cat, take your wife out to dinner, do all those things you've been putting off.. that way you'll have some time to really get into playing once the servers do come back, without worrying about getting those things done.
Or if you can still stomach the smell from the cat, get out there and try some of the CoPaP worlds! They're there! They're linked! They're great!

jeez I?m sorry I wasn't complaining or anything, i really wasnt. I?m sorry if it came out that way I was trying to just ask what was going on and say how it's a great world to have addicted me at the same time I guess looking at it I should have worded it differently.

everyone on the team please take your time! Also I, and I?m sure everyone else completely understands when something goes wrong it's not anyone?s fault these things just happen so I?d like to thanks for having such a great server up and running at all in the first place

EDIT: i did change this i may have come back to strong on kombinat for getting on me and i dont think i should have. sorry if anyone read it... it wasnt to bad and no one asked me to change it just thought since im the noob i'd not like to have any vets of the servers having bad feelings towards me

we also particularly like the way they are easy to kill and loot - not that they ever have anything worth taking, what with them being so lame !

Don't worry about Kombinat, he plays a lovable, cuddly mage called Sand, who wouldn't hurt a fly...so he's no danger to you in-game.

All Sand's friends call him "pussy", so be sure to shout out "hey pussy!" whenever you see him in game, and you'll be certain of a warm reception.

If someone could let me know in advance when this is going to happen so I can go get some popcorn and watch, that would be great.

Make sure you stand well back, you don't want to get n00b-bits in your pop-corn

I dunno, last time Ayiree had her sights on Sand he just cringed...

Just camp the death respawn point at whatever server Sand is on. He's bound to appear sooner or later.
