==On June 27 2011==
The Kol server went down.
Further inspection showed that spiders invaded the server.
Going to the website yielded the nightly maintenance window.
After a period of two hours this window was changed to a different one which explained the situation.
The game went back up half an hour later.
The system then put this message into kol chat.

"System Message: Don't panic."

"System Message: There's a big spider at the data center who will only lay eggs in the server if you panic."

Announcement: After a sudden and unexpected several hour break, the servers are back to servin'. Sorry for the inconvenience.

System Message: Jick 'n' Skully will be on Radio KoL in 30 minutes. Post comments/questions in the forum thread, or send 'em to radiobugbear via chat PM.

==June 28th 2011==

It would appear that the spiders are fighting back against Jick and co.
The servers have gone down.
Right now it's mainly just Jick because everyone's sleeping.

Announcement: Another day, another catastrophic unexpected bout of downtime. We are back, but be gentle. Things might be a little bumpy.

This is day 2. We go on kol and find this message.

:In the middle of the night, the primary database server saw the secondary one enjoying its time with the spiders, and said "I gotta get me some of those!"

:We're doing another data migration -- this one we're doing the proper way, so it's taking a little longer than the last one.
