Empires:The Rise
Game requires further development
Sorry about the delay. As you know, the servers had been unstable for quite a while (restart / shut down / unable to connect).
While I was continuously fixing new reported bugs, there comes two major problems.
Firstly, the network connection is not stable, some regions are experiencing large latency / unable to connect.
The other one, there happen to be Hacks / malicious server attacks, which causes server to hang.
After examination, they will take quite some time to be fixed.
I have decided to remove the game from Early Access while I am doing the further development.
I have contacted Steam to help me remove it, and will put it back up when everything is ready.
All current player data are backed up for restoration when game is back.
My sincere apology.

Server shutdown for new version updates!
The update procedure for multiple platforms at sametime is quite a challeange for me. The maintaince might take a while, and the review time for client files are hard to estimate. I have to shutdown the servers and interupt the games, sorry about that.
The server will be back up within today, but older versions are not able to connect. Please be patient for the according patform to pass the new version review.
Thank you for your support.

Europe Server Error (Dec. 10th)
There were many strange errors occured (especially European Servre) since around 10th, such as:
- Unable to create new account
- Losing progress (level downgrade)
...
I found out that the server was storage full and filled with 30G worth of logs. I forgot to clear the debug logs (actully I did not expect it was filled up so quickly), so that when the system attempt to write data it will malefunction.
Now it's cleared and hopefully run smoothly. Now dig back into bug fixing, to try to get the patch up ASAP.
Thanks.
