OK then, I'm re-downloading Patch1315.exe and it seems to be a different size to last
week's Patch1315.exe. Maybe they forgot to update the version number again.

EDIT: oops, you posted while I was typing. I'm in now too. Don't know what happened to the
announced update... I guess it's all server-side.

well, the server is up now, if ur still getting problems then i think u'll better proceed to
the technical support section.

i had to re download the manual patch again to be able to log in.

From the news section:

Manual patch exe is updated
03 17 2011 1:09AM
Regarding the recent issue with wrong ship images, we found that the patch file
isn't correctly replacing the existing files. This problem is now fixed, and the new
manual patch file can now be downloaded from the usual manual patch link. If you
have still issues with wrong ship images, please re-download the latest manual
patch and apply it to your game client.

Thanks,
zitroneGM

Looks like they think it's up but it's not...?

navy down?

i think i'm the only one who can't log in to server.

Can't login and it is 8:30 GMT already...

And the manual patch link still has version 1.315, which isn't the new one.

12 pacific time. But that changed too, just wait then wait some more an if it still
doesnt work i guess wait some more.
