Hello Champions,

We’d like to apologize for the extremely long emergency downtime you may have experienced today. We’ve been having some problems with our network hardware that’s been causing issues, and we’ve been wanting to finally replace it with new hardware for a while now. The extended maintenance on Tuesday and Thursday was part of the new hardware swap, but the reintegration took a bit longer than expected. The good news is the update leaves all our Cryptic games in much better shape!

However, we still feel bad that you’ve been unable to access the games you want to play for so long! To compensate for this, we’re doing both a Questionite and XP boost bonus from now until Wednesday. We’re also going to extend the current 15% Charge Bonus for an additional 24 hours. We hope this more than makes up for the extended downtime, and that you enjoy the multiple bonus events this weekend.

Thank you for your patience!

Randy Mosiondz, Lead Designer, Champions Online

P.S. We've also noticed that there's a bug with XP being awarded at the end of an alert. We're working to resolve this, but to compensate, we're extending the bonus XP until Wednesday.
