Hello Knights!

It looks like one of the gerbils operating the servers is MIA. We've had to take the EU servers down for now and you wont be able to purchase any energy or prize box packages. We're working to wrangle up a replacement gerbil and get everything working normally again. We don't know how long this will take, so thank you in advance for your patience. We'll try to keep you updated here once everything is working normally.

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Knights

FROM: Spiral HQ

SUBJECT: Temperature Extremes

Knights, you may have noticed we had a bit of a cold snap recently. The temperature got low enough that we all bundled up and threw snowballs at each other, but not enough to inconvenience anyone. We count that as a win!

However, the cold we experience may not always be the type that simply makes you reach for a warm, spicy beverage. In fact, it may cause your warm, spicy beverage to freeze and shatter on the ground. Best to be prepared.

Alternate subject line: "so we herd u liek free stuff"
