Why is Splinterlands down for maintenance?

The Splinterlands season is coming to an end and there has been a surprise maintenance session. This is a problem for almost all players who are trying to power up last minute.

Here is what I could find out, the Splinterlands founder Yabapmatt

“ We want to once again sincerely apologize for the issues with the game today. As we are continuing to grow at a record pace, additional issues continue to arise which we have been constantly working to resolve as quickly as possible.

At the moment, we are in the process of updating to larger back-end servers to resolve the current issues and we expect the game to be down for a number of hours while we complete this process.

As a result, we will also be pushing back the end of the current ranked play season 24 hours until tomorrow, August 16th, at 4 PM ET / 8 PM UTC.

We know that is very inconvenient and frustrating for players and we are doing our best to work through all of the current issues and also focus on additional optimizations to ensure we can easily scale up significantly larger in the future.”

So basically anyone who was renting cards for power is pretty much screwed including me and I don’t know how to feel about it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and upvote if you enjoy

I'm sure the developers will quickly cope with the problem - a huge increase in the number of users has brought down the servers - this means that you guys are in the right place - this game will break all records!!!

I hope everything will be alright after it.

I think you will be refunded for your rentals. I had about 2500 dec this morn and now it went back down to what I had last night. I think it should all pan out.
