Achaea server maintenance notice: emergency ISP work took the game offline briefly

Hi folks,

This is extremely short notice and I apologise, but we’ve just been informed by our ISP that they will be doing server maintenance starting at 10:00 PM PST / 01:00 AM EST – which is approximately 1.5 hours from the time of this post.

The game will likely be unavailable for this time – the ISP has estimated 1 hour or less.

Thanks for your patience – please be somewhere safe before the clock strikes!
