We are currently evaluating our server capacity, and guests will be able to start playing in the not too distant future. As soon as we are ready we will notify everyone directly via email (the one you have registe...

    We are bringing down the live servers for a small update to address a couple of important issues that have cropped up in today's update. We felt these were important to address before the weekend so that it didn't effect people's weekend play. The following issues have been resolved:
    • Players would appear invisible on occasion
    • Certain actions would still fire their effect but not trigger the correct cool-down if interrupted?
    The update is scheduled for 5am GMT / 1am EDT for a...
