Greetings rascals! On monday 1st of June between 2 AM and 4 AM (CDT) the server will be down due to a scheduled maintenance. The maintenance is mainly due to switching router, along with a few other adjustments which will enhance the stability of the server in case of a potential downtime. However, this will not affect your gameplay at a superficially notable level, other than the scheduled maintenance itself. Thanks for your patience.
