Server crash Options

[Sando]

Hi!

Many of you tried to register for Respawn LAN last night when registrations opened at 9PM. The level of demand we received was unprecedented and the load on our server far exceeded anything we had ever seen before. Only 9 minutes in, the server failed due to load caused by registrations, forum activity and refreshing of the player list.

Through the next while, it bounced up and down a bit before we eventually took it down. We assure you, it hurt us as much as it hurt you; maybe even more.

Since then, our crack team of Web Monkeys have organised a move of the website to a larger, more reliable facility, and we'll be back online about now.

Now we're back up again, registrations will open again tonight (Friday) at 9PM. If you were one of the 100 lucky people to register last night, fear not - your registration has not been lost, you do not need to do anything.

We'd also like to take this chance to remind you that you are now able to prepay your Respawn ticket, to get yourself a guaranteed seat! See this thread in the forums for more information.

Thanks for being patient, and see you at the event!
