[Norton_C]

Same, just barely logged in, got the shut down servers message, got kicked out of the game with lost connection, and now there's standard no server message.

[Quickstep]

I was in, event lasted 8 min. Then "Shut down for maintenance.".

[sk_setttler]

[Count_Dennis]

[Mystic]

This must have been a world record, even for BB this is BAD!!

[RCB29]

[moreon]

Also unable to connect !!!

[loramarie]

Same here :(

[Elco]

Even accessing the forum is extremely slow... One can only hope BB asked Santa for new servers as the old ones cannot handle what's asked of them...

[SnowBlizz]

Well that was unexpected. I guess we cna all spend some tiem guessing when maintenance will be: https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/36908-Hotfix-Sweepstakes!

[amazola]

Lets hope it will come back soon!

[lordloocan3]

German server is up and running happily.

[angelqui]

same here and at this stage im getting quite fed up with this

[Mands]

argh

[Lady_Eo]

Yep, same problem here on all 3 european servers

[Jayicious]

Lets hope it will come back soon!


what is the likeliness of that?

[Drood]

I know things go wrong but after 7 years at this game the thing that grinds my gears is the lack of communication from BB when things go wrong.

Simple rule guys - never shut down servers like this without FIRSTLY posting a notice on your own forum that "it has happened because [fill in blank]"

Even if it is generic like "technical problems" - at least we have a thread to check back to throughout the downtime for updates instead of seeing irritated users complaining because we are kept in the dark.

I feel sorry for the hundreds of users who have probably activated premium time and prestigious friend buffs in anticipation of this event.

[DutchDuty]

Was thinking of joining the game asking what bugs where found so far..... but seems i dont have to, cant even log in.

We had some bugs with events, but this one beats all the former :D

[Albug01]

As usual ... event starts with errors.

[DutchDuty]

Seems the game is loading again, lets see how long it will last :)

[lordloocan3]

Finally seems to be sorted

[zygotes]

We're back...

[Lady_Eo]

yup, at least Newfoundland and Northisle is running again :)

[Toho]

Yey

[Spyros_I]

I don't understand what's this ruckus about. This is normal behavior for the game...

[hollanderdanny]

Its up, case closed

[Rorschah]

Only 4 of my explorers brought back presents, the rest just brought the usual loot.

[MOD_Daz]

The servers were restarted as the event began.
