Gehn Shard is Down

[Pharap]

I started playing on the Gehn shard early last month (December), at which point everything was working just fine. I went away for a few weeks and then tried to play again around the start of this month (January), only to be greeted with a message stating that "The Gehn Shard is currently down. Please check back later!":

The error message.

I've been patient in case it was just a one or two day blip, but since then I just keep getting the same message.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Does anyone know why it is down and when it might return?

Should be back now. I've deployed an update to the server software that should make it more resilient to people doing things to crash it.

Chev shem, Tsar Hoikas. I can confirm it is now up and running, and I can log in and explore as before.
