Service Announcement: Final Spectre and Meltdown Maintenance

January 16, 2018 at 2:02 PM

Service Announcement

Egg Cave's last batch of servers (yes, we have many!) will be patched and upgraded to address the Spectre and Meltdown hardware vulnerabilities on 17 January 2018 at 12:00 AM ECT. The site will go offline for approximately 5-10 minutes. As a result, the next CRW creature release may be delayed by a few minutes.

This is the final scheduled maintenance for Egg Cave that our datacenter has notified us about. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
