Extended Maintenance Istaria Community Manager November 10, 2020
	On Tuesday we'll be doing some prep work to upgrade our server infrastructure and make a geographical move to improve connectivity for our European players. We apologize in advance for the trouble, but expect that our North American players will appreciate the slightly faster response times (faster hardware), and our European players a faster internet transit (ping times). Expect the shards to be offline much of the day. The servers are back online and things are looking good at the new facility, we should be making the new move very soon!
