Dear players,

we had to shut down the servers at 17:00 (CEST) for maintenance.
We keep you updated on our progress.

UPDATE 17:35: We are back online!

Thanks for your patience.

Dear players,

today at 12:00 (all times CEST) you will not only receive your reward for playing during the last three days, but also the 3rd round of our testing event is about to begin. Play between Monday 13th 12:00 and Wednesday 15th 16:00, you can gain a reward for your efforts for your regular game account.

In addition to that, we have our special stress test taking place today, Monday 13th from 12-22:00. Our goal is to make the server as crowded as possible, we want to reach the server limits and make the server "burst at the seams". If the test environment reaches the maximum of players, you may not be able to play due to the waiting queue, but if you do login, you are listed as participant and will gain your reward.

All rewards will be sent as a voucher code via in-game message to your account here on the test server. In case you don't know how to redeem your code, there is a brief description on our forum, where you can also find our announcement of the event.

Best regards,
 BB_SlasH

Hi all,

we are totally aware that many players are not able to login because the server is often totally crowded. We try to give the test environment more resources next week, but for the moment we only can beg for your patience.

Please use only the forums here on the test server for questions and bug reports as the support of your country will not be able to help you in any way. You will get help only HERE on the international test instance.

Please accept our apologies and have patience till next week.

Thank you!
BB_Pandur

As some of you may have already noticed, the voucher code has been sent twice. This was to ensure everyone receives the code, because we sent it out too early the first time.

Round 2: If you play our new test version within the next three days, you can again obtain a reward for your regular game account.

Play for at least 15 minutes until Monday 13th, 12:00 (CEST) and receive a voucher-code, which will be sent to you via in-game message here on the test server. The code will be valid for your regular account on your home world. A description, on how-to-use the code, can be found on our forum.

For performance reasons, we will deploy a small hotfix today.
That means, the sever has to be shut down for a short time.
UPDATE 15:00: We are back online
UPDATE: The server will shut down at 14:00 14:30 (CEST) for approx. 30 minutes.

We keep you updated!
