Everything down...?

spacinvasion.bigpoint.com, en.board.bigpoint.com, bigpoint.com all seem down. Guessing it's the same for everyone?

... and back up

I do NOT like the new look. I do not like the down time. I do not know how many members will still be here when/if we get back on.
I am not happy.
I am ticked and I want to share that fact.
The upgrade should have been alpha tested then brought on line.
I finaly get into a place I like, at a level that I can help others and the stupid thing is down.

I hope whoever did this upgrade goes to eat a raw egg and dirt sandwitch with a spioled lard chaser for a drink.

They should have a dedicated alpha/beta universe. Instead they're having to use the new global one for testing.

People wouldn't mind testing the game in a different universe if it gave some kind of bonus to their regular universes. (resources|speed|?) And kept them from being down so much.
