I've heard this before tbh. 4 hours to update a game :O,
Some games I play do weekly updates, games down for 30 seconds while they inject new code and reboot server. (not a complaint btw, idm waiting, just curious why it takes so long) Screams rented servers to me lol

[jip1976]

Once upon a time maintaince happened every monday or tuesday night cant remember what day it was now

[dormeu]

they sayd you could stay logged in, i was booted out! i would be surprised if anyone is logged in the game right now!

No that was the network maintanence, it doesn't say wether or not it's over though.

What's causing the current problem is that for some of us the golem did not reapear after being killed. So now BB have shut down the servers while they hunt through the serverroom for the missing golems and stuff them back in. But since they are actually quite big when they get out of the world of 1's and 0's, this might tahe a while. :p

[SirExar]

Game seems to be back up.

Golems included :)

[dormeu]

its a trap! :D

[DrBoom]

It works now!

I think the constant bugs add to the charm of the game
