[p]Hi everyone,
[/p][p]Yesterday, we took the game down for standard maintenance and to switch Anti DDoS providers.[/p][p]This was supposed to be a pretty simple procedure... but like all things APB, it quickly unraveled and turned into a cluster.

Our fiber connection in Amsterdam has had some issues, and it went out midstream.[/p][p]They got in back online, but an issue with other hardware prevented the EU World from fully functioning.[/p][p]We sorted out those issues, only to have the optic fiber connection go bad again.[/p][p][/p][p]At this point, we have worked with our Amsterdam host to replace all the hardware giving us issues. The goal is get EU back online as soon as possible.[/p][p][/p][p]To be clear, no player data was lost. The outage has been a cascade of fixing underlying network issues that were missed when we put Amsterdam online, or came up during our Anti DDoS cutover. I'll give updates here until that happens.[/p][p] [/p][p]Then over the next week, we will replace all of the other hardware that has been not been 100%.[/p][p] [/p][p]To be continued..[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks,[/p][p]Matt[/p]
