Horizons server is dead?

[Deamawa]

This is getting serious.

The consequences of this game outage have the potential to be almost as severe as the time they removed violence from The Itchy & Scratchy Show.

hahahahahahahahha - good joke

Knowing Frontier I think they would have had 2-3 guys working on the problem since it was reported. Some problems aren't necessarily quick to fix.

Quite true. It's not the troops trying to fix the problem, it's the lack of communication with the customers.

 

[Eriseley]

It's back up everyone!

Whoa, actually confirmed, yep. I'm in.

 

[Das Boot]

Launcher back up

 

[Troz]

I'm in.

You're not going to grow your own tea? Sheesh! What a cheat!

This is the result of a cyber attack.

There's the true Elite spirit!

 

[Ralph Vargr]

We should make more "is it dead?" or "work harder!!!" threads. Surely then they will listen and work harder

They are working. They are doing the best they can. I applaud them.

We are just being left in the dark, by the PR team. They took too long to respond, and now they are silent.

 

[Wasp0]

Do we know what it was?

Dare they bring the servers down again today with the 3.03 update? (If Ready)

Seven hour outage, during prime US gaming time.

Glad it's back up.

Probably ̶R̶u̶s̶s̶i̶a̶n̶ {unrelated_random_country} botnets. Some pretty big hot-spots on the US, UK, Germany and France right now.

It was a bit after EST prime, but still in PST. But it's an English company, I don't begrudge them their prime team hours being GMT.

You're not going to grow your own tea? Sheesh! What a cheat!

This is the result of a cyber attack. And we all know who by.

I'm out of tea plant seeds just now unfortunately.

It's the thargoids, right? I'm back in, I'm going to kick their lampshade looking bu**s as revenge!
