Server Status Update: The War of Darktide and Morningthaw 1:43 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) link
More information and developments regarding Morningthaw and Darktide server connectivity issues. Prepare for a long and interesting story!
On Sunday our datacenter experienced a power outage, and backup power failed to properly initiate. This put Morningthaw server in a bad state and the server hardware ultimately died (character data is fine). Today our tech team brought Morningthaw back using different hardware. Unfortunately, that hardware is causing a connection conflict with Darktide when we turned Morningthaw back on. The result has been that Morningthaw has declared war on Darktide - whenever it is up, it tries to assassinate Darktide and the power struggle is like a clash of the gods in the server room.... or at least that's how it plays out in my mind when I think about it. It's far less exciting in person.
