I can't believe Sally has locked us out of the update thread! It's almost like she think's we'll fill it with drivel! 😡

My new approach...
 
That’s numberwang!
To all the non Brits who are wondering, "Numberwang" is a reference to a UK show called "That Mitchell and Webb Look". According to Google, in this show, there's a fictional television series (inception time !) in which the two contestants (Simon and Julie) call out seemingly random numbers which are occasionally told to be "Numberwang". The rules of the game are left completely unexplained to the viewer, and appear to follow no logic whatsoever.

Man, I love googling UK oddities while waiting for the servers to restart.
God save the Queen ! \o/

So "coded" like coded into image... download image, open it with note, scroll down to end, see this 01001010 01110101 01110011 01110100 00100000 01100010 01100101 01100011 01100001 01110101 01110011 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100011 01100001 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01110011 01100101 01100101 00100000 01110011 01101111 01101101 01100101 01110100 01101000 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01100100 01101111 01100101 01110011 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01101101 01100101 01100001 01101110 00100000 01101001 01110100 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100001 01101100. And that mean Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it is not real. That all for now.
 
You do not seem to take any care about your user base. The game launch client seems to always say (as it does now) Server Status: OK. Yet the game has been unplayable for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Initially, the update was that the game would be down for 40 minutes. Now the game reports that the servers are down and advises to go to this URL for information about the maintenance: http://support.frontier.co.uk. This page has no information about the outage and is generic boilerplate FAQs.

Most players will understand the need for outage and maintenance, but you need to improve the level of quality when you communicate to them.

It's the TV equivalent of 'Mornington Crescent'
