Hi!

Unfortunately, you logged into the game during our update maintenance. Today we are releasing a technical fix for future updates; therefore, we need a couple of maintenance breaks to ensure that everything is working correctly. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Have a good one

is there going to be compensation gifts for each with the server crash, seems to be a common issue after a update at the moment 

This issue went up till 11am EST when they did ANOTHER Maintainance for 15 Min and I got Booted out again ,, So From 4 AM till 11 AM ,, Seven Hours  with Basically 5 of those Houses being Prime Time for Canadian Eastern Standard time

In my laptop, the server maintenance only lasted as Plarium announced, and about your issue, it maybe something on your PC, my laptop doesn't seem to have the issues that you're telling.

Maybe there's a program that is conflicting with Raid?
