One loginserver offline for essential maintenance

One of our eight loginservers is temporarily offline for essential maintenance. It started to get overloaded last night. After careful consideration of our options we've decided the best bet is to not take any risks and move it to a newer faster machine immediately. Meanwhile some accounts will be unable to login.
This will affect 1 in 8 players. If you find you are one of those you can still login on a different account, but to use your main you will have to wait until the maintenance is complete.

We sincerely apologise for this inconveniance! We'd really rather not be doing this on a Sunday when lots of people are playing, but we don't have a lot of choice as one of the harddisks on the old loginserver seems to be slowing down, forcing an urgent move to newer more stable hardware.

We anticipate this move will take abuot 2-3 hours to complete, although that is only an estimate. So if you are affected we recommend you try again later today, or use another account in the meanwhile.

Thanks for your patience.
