On Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd August, 2008, we will be conducting some major background work at our data centres.

This work has been planned to minimise downtime and disruption to players wherever possible by doing the majority of the critical work during our games' maintenance windows.

However, as with any changes of this nature, there is always the potential for unexpected outages and downtime, though we will do whatever we can to avoid these.

Please be prepared for potential service interruptions on all of our MMO services throughout this period. The Codemasters Player Account System may also be unavailable for some time during the maintenance. Customers will be kept updated via the website, forums and game launchers if any issues arise.

The work we are undertaking is the start of a major, several-month process to upgrade and re-house our current server farm and storage infrastructure for our existing games and forthcoming MMOs, which we hope will result in an improved player experience once completed.

We thank you for your patience during this time.
