Requiel said:There seem to be problems with the database from time to time. I'm not a database admin or techy enough to give you any kind of details, however it's a problem we are aware of, it affects all servers and it usually only lasts a few minutes.
If you find the explorers are being very slow then try again 10 minutes later and the chances are they'll be back to normal. As I said we are aware of the problem and we are working on resolving it. At the moment I can't say whether it's a problem specific to our setup or whether it's a general game issue which will require a fix from Mythic.
