Back.. from the dead!

Dear Junk Wars players.

Catastrophe struck our game. However, after 48 gruelling hours, we are back from the dead. The main database and our recent backups, which were all corrupt, have been reconstructed. Sadly not everyone made it. 33 players lost their accounts. But thankfully the rest of them (about 99.993% or so) were saved.

In the process we've cleaned up a lot of the database, reduced it's footprint; due to this we are reducing the nightly maintenance window from 2 hours to 20 minutes at 0400h EST.

And for those still reading, we sincerely apologize for this downtime, and want to give a gift to everyone who tolerated the outage one full premium box. They should be sitting in everyone's collection screens now. If you do not see it, please refresh your browser.

Thanks again and keep on playing!
