On Saturday evening we encountered some technical problems with Excalibur and Avalon. We met the same problems on Stonehenge a few weeks ago, and to prevent it from escalating the two servers were taken down on Saturday evening.
We are currently working on getting the servers back up and running normally. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience this downtime may have caused, and the lack of information. The affected English players will naturally be compensated for the lost playing time.

Yep, seems like we have to do organised server crashes after all.

Hmm.... strange.
I have read from these and other forums that:
- Avalon was shut down normally (players were warned ingame etc)
- Avalon users were informed at GOA's news at the weekend allready.
- Excalibur had none of those problems that were mentioned in Avalon' news about why the server was shut down
- Excalibur was not shutdown but the auth server crashed. Some people were playing on Excalibur Sunday
- There was some networking problems before crash

But why are they telling lies?
Was it just auth. server crashing and nobody cared enough to reboot and they can't admit it? Apparently they do not have anyone monitoring the servers on weekend.
