Dear players,

We'd like to sincerely apologise for the fact that some of our worlds were recently offline. This was due to a problem at one of our ISPs.

The worlds affected: 4, 5, 7-9, 13-14, 17, 19, 21-22, 26-30, 37, 42, 47-48, 56, 62, 64, 70, 72, 100, 113.

We were informed that the problem was caused by the ISP's routers being overloaded. It is not a problem with any of our own systems, or with us having inadequate bandwidth.

Unfortunately, because the problem was caused by limitations of a 3rd party's systems, as opposed to our own, it was out of our control.

We are looking for a more permanent solution, which will probably involve switching to a different ISP. Once again, our sincerest apologies for this disruption.
