Yeah they did mention it on FB

We're sorry for the unscheduled maintenance we had to perform, and apologize that we weren't able to give advance notice as we do for normal maintenance periods. The servers though are online. You may experience a slight delay in logging into the server as there are quite a few trying to get online at the same time. Thanks for your patience.

But we have been stuck out for hours & many players have refuged, been attacked &unable to watch over their own attacks (Possibly loosing all th troops they sent out to attack.)

I do feel as if evony should have sent us a warning rather then spamming us about the celebration every day :/ I feel that something like this is more important then a 0.003% chance of winning 1,000 cents. I feel being stuck out for hours is important information to almost every true evonyone.

I haven't had anything bad happen to me within the time of it being down but if I hadn't of managed to get on just before it it's possible I could have refuged
