Game and Website Maintenance Wednesday 13th February (Patch Notes Added)

[VitalBullet]

Listen up Heroes!

On Wednesday 13th February @ 09:00 UTC we will be performing maintenance on all game and webs servers. This process should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

While we do not expect any down time there may be intermittent connection issues as servers are restarted. Those already in game should be largely unaffected but you may be kicked after some time and the next time you launch the game you will be asked to update your client.
