2012/06/13 Game maintenance, Wednesday 13th June

[EA_Esterika]

Hello Heroes!

On Wednesday, June 13, 08:00 to 08:30 UTC we will be performing maintenance on all game and web servers.

Maintenance should last for approximately 30 minutes and while we do not expect any downtime there may be intermittent connection issues as servers are restarted. Also, players in game should be unaffected, though you will be required to update the game the next time you launch it.

Updated Wednesday 13th June @ 10:00 UTC
