Thanksgiving Holiday Limited CS & Dev Hours
Being ArkHunters, we all know that it’s important to take time out from time to time to be with our families and loved ones. That’s why later this week we’ll be a bit MIA as we attend Thanksgiving festivities here in the US.
Our CS team is offline for all of Thursday, November 23, 2017. This may cause a delay in ticket responses as a result. Additionally, the dev and community teams are officially offline from Nov. 23 – 24.
We hope you guys and gals have a great Thanksgiving as well and we’ll see you next week!
