Hey guys,

As some of you have noted, we have a problem with our servers. This is the first real problem in many, many months. Our annual uptime has been over 99% since launch. Unfortunately, this one is out of our control. Our servers are hosted by Amazon and they had a general malfunction late last night and they tell us they are repairing. We don't know what happened exactly because Amazon has not given us any further details other than to say they had a big failure.

This incident has happened during our busiest week this year so oviously its not good. This pisses us off more than you trust me.

Playing offline for now is your best option at the moment.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we'll let you know once everything is back up.

We have already taken steps to mitigate down time issues and it has not been a problem from our side in a very long time. As mentioned in my article on SimHQ we plan to take more or ROF offline in the future, but we have not had the right opportunity to do that yet. Our server arrangement has many advantages, but when a 3rd party we rely on fails it's a pain. So we'll look for ways to stop this from happening in the future, but we'll need patience from the community.

Jason

Amazon tells us they are making progress now, but still no ETA.

That's not our twitter account. I don't know who started that.

In light of the server issue, and the fact that SimHQ shows 133 people in this forum... how about you drop some teaser knowledge on us!

I've teased all I can at the moment. I'm concetrating on getting the servers back up right now. That's most important at the moment.

Good luck with restoration of the servers, Jason... I've got my fingers crossed it won't be much longer.
I'm sure every minute that you're down comes at a high cost.

I've a feeling this is going to really backfire on Amazon.

Ok just for fun some teasers while we wait for Amazon.

Some Camel + Aldis fun with a new Sunset/Sunrise mod I'm working on. Does not end well for the Pfalz.
