31 January, 2019 - Logging in with Facebook

28 January, 2019 - Server downtime

• Some of you may have noticed the extended downtime Sunday afternoon from about 12:30-18:40 UTC.

The drive was replaced and everything was back online shortly after.
• No data was lost - all life on Shartak was just put into suspended animation for 6 hours.
• Don't forget you can always join us on the Discord (invite code Nb25Nth) server.
