Server Down:: 14 Aug, 2003

Due to the East Coast power outage, you will find that Darkfire Online is temporarily down. The servers are located in Manhattan and until power is restored, you will not be able to log into the game or the website. Big game update due this weekend, so lets hope that everything is all and well by then.

Good luck to everyone in the North Eastern U.S. and Canada.

::Talk about it in the forums::

" Servers were down this morning for a few hours while I moved the T1 line to a new provider. Everything shold be back up by 1:30PM EST. "
