Hey everyone,

There is going to be an emergency downtime starting at some point very soon today! Between 16.30-18.30 CEST, the downtime could last as long as 60 minutes.

We'll release some more details and reasoning for the hotfix soon.

Cheers,

Angus

Dear players, 

We have to perform a hotfix today due to a known issue with the Battle for Berimond. Due to this technical bug players cannot defeat the Capital of the opposing faction and reach the Last man standing mode. If this happens, the server will crash and players will lose all of their progress in this event. Unfortunately, we still cannot fix this bug properly in a short timeframe and make the Battle for Berimond possible to complete.

We noticed that on some servers players can reach the capital and defeat it, which will lead to the inevitable server crash. Of course, we have to stop this from happening and keep our servers up, so that all our players have fun in the game. Thus, we will adjust the strength of the Capital making it stronger, and therefore more difficult to defeat. The amount of attacks will be the same, but we will add defensive units to the Capital and make it impossible to take over the Capital until the above mentioned issue can be fixed in the future. This is a necessary short-term solution in order to leave the Berimond event running, without any player losing their progress or rewards. 

We thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter and apologize profusely for any inconvenience caused during this time,

Your Empire Family

Hey guys,

There won't be a downtime anymore for any server other than the German Server. 

Cheers,

Angus
