For several months now we've researched potential authentication upgrades and evaluated how those system changes could be implemented with minimal impact on our service. We recently decided on a specific authentication solution and are currently taking the necessary steps to implement the associated hardware and software. The new platform should help alleviate the login issues that players have experienced, including both forum- and game-login processes.

Additional information on our new authentication platform, as well as an ETA on when the installation of the platform will be finalized, will be provided next week.
