TTG experienced its longest downtime in over 8 years lasting 15 hours due to the underground fiber-optic cable that feeds our Data center being cut they're still investigating how this happened.

The Fiber-optic cable has 72 strands TTG only uses 3 of them out of those 3 we only needed 1 of them to not be damaged to stay online and all 3 were cut meaning we had to wait for someone to find where the cable was cut, dig a hole and splice all of the damaged strands. This was done in a random order because all 72 of them were cut TTG is back due to one of the strands being repaired.

As things stand the cable is still being repaired so its possible outages and slow downs may happen until all 3 strands TTG uses are repaired.

That is what happened but we may be covering up the fact Luke crashed a drone into TTG's servers. let him know how you feel about it luke

24 hours will be added onto everyone's gold asap.

I was gonna say I used to lurk this site a lot like years back and never seen a outage so I was surprise when it happened. Maybe a animal or something chewed through the cable because how would it get cut underground? Glad it's back up.

Highly possible it was an animal they also think someone doing road repairs may have done it the odds of this are stupid slim if it happened anywhere else on the cable no problem but it had to happen on a less than 1 mile part that is unable to reroute if damaged.
