We will be replacing an obsolete server during an outage starting at midnight tonight (GMT) 2010-12-05 for up to 3 hours (until 3 A.M 2010-12-06).

Apologies for the short notice - timeouts will be suspended for 24 hours.

From this you can work out that timeouts will be suspended until around 9.48am on the 7th December 2010 give or take a few hours.

Some people have no bluddy patience.

I want to bash 2 skulls on my game list. I collect skulls and hang them on my belt as trophies. For me, seeing a skull is like a hawk seeing a tasty mouse. Showing me a skull is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. I'm a carnivore, I'm a predator, I eat skulls. I eat them fast. This wait is agony.

The timeout suspension has now ended. Sorry for the inconvenience.

GREAT SUPPORT !!!! Timeouts are active again.
Thanks a lot to the support crew !!!!

Thread 136194 in Site Ideas discusses possible methods of informing site users about unexpected outages. Hopefully players will add their views to that thread.
