No, the intended time was five minutes. The update requires editing of all savefiles, which there was a program created to do so, but even though it had been tested, with the large amount of savefiles located on Mettool's savefile, it created problems. We working to resolve these issues, so hopefully the server will be back soon.
We apologize for the longer wait than intended.

Pfffftftftftft it hasnt even been 5 minutes yet! We'll get this up in 4 minutes or less!
However, I was trying to update your savefiles with no avail. We'll figure it out eventually. But after two hours of trying I said "Screw it" and just decided to leave the game down for a while. But hopefuly, the game will be up sometime tonight or tommorow.
And besides, it's the Holidays, go spend some time with your friends.

Sat there for 6 hours yesterday trying to make attack and spawn procs work for this thing I'm coding, and the whole time I have this can-do attitude, and when it's all over... Damn. Just damn. Anyway, back on the subject... What kind of update was it?

Implementing a new shop system to better understand the weapon hits and classes. Of course, since this also adds a few things to the weapons, all of the save-files had to be updated to accommodate these changes. Of course, certain problems can arise and when it is all good and dandy, the server will be up.
(( I don't know the full details and specifics of this improvement but maybe Kija can explain it better later ))

Well, for starters the 'class can use this' menu isn't a number basis. Instead, Kija had my do a list proc. It also made the code short, and easier to understand without scrolling up to the "1 = Fighter" part. But, that was in the code. I don't fully know what the full affects Kija has came up with will look like.

Yeah, I dont think it'll be up tonight. Probably tommorow.
If we cant get the files updated, we'lll just have to leave them the old way so I can run the game (So SOME of you will stop IMing me, begging for it to come back up).
And Kija's probably mad that I left him hanging there this after noon after two hours of trying to fix it. I better go apologize.

This is gonna take longer than I had hoped. There's four or five savefiles that keep messing it up. And, well, if nothing else works, I'll have to delete those problem files.

You would be best off checking the hub than the forums. If the game is up, it will be shown on the hub. Also funny, we've moved up from rank 12 to rank 11 while the game has been down. Heh.

I had sent Mettool some updates last night that makes the current equipment compatible with the new buy system until the issue is resolved; although, it seems he did not check his mail.

When v8 comes out, we are expecting 100+ people on, and to jump in rank to possible 6-7. And a small few of us (The BH), think we might be able to jump into rank 5. It may be possible, as we have seen up to 83 or so keys on at a time, and with the changes we have planned, we will be one of the most advanced games within Byond. However, we are straying too much off topic. I'll give it a day or so, so anymore news from kija or mett can said without making a new topic..

The game is back up, STOP IMING ME NOW!
And if we're expecting 100+ people for Ver 8, I'd better quit WoW by then...
