Hello Horizons Players,
We had a service outage today between 3pm PST and 6:00PM PST. The problem occurred because of a firewall misconfiguration and took longer than expected to resolve. We are more than a little red that this happened outside of our normal weekly maintenance.
It's now 5:51pm PST and the firewall has been fixed. We know that this is the second outage in recent times and are very sorry for the disruption. We've been doing a lot of maintenance and re-configuration since taking over Horizons with the goal of being able to more effectively manage the facility. The firewall configuration was one of the bigger changes needed to wrap up that work.
The Gnomes that direct traffic to the servers are doing their jobs again and things look normal. Please accept our apologies.
See you in Istaria,
Horizons Customer Support
