April 2026 Empire website down/slow

Hi all, a quick update - we’re aware that the wiki is down or responding slowly. Unfortunately we’re struggling with a DDOS attack that is making it very difficult for us. We’re working on a fix at the mo, but these things take time, so it will likely not be till late tomorrow at the earliest. We’ll update you all as soon as we think we have it back on track again. Meantime, we’ll keep Winds-posting lightly if we can, but may hold off till the wiki is fully accessible.

If would help a lot if folk used the website and wiki only when they needed to. In particular, it would help if players who have bots set up to automatically ping the recent changes page on the wiki turned them off. While we can cope with this load normally, it is only adding to the burden caused by the DDOS.

If you need to email in about something, admin@profounddecisions.co.uk will get practical things dealt with, plot@profounddecisions.co.uk will respond to your Winds queries, and mods@profounddecisions.co.uk will manage your online/social media check ins.

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll get the hype train moving faster as soon as the wiki’s stable!
