Server Maintenance - [May 02, 2021]

Age Of Empires Online Celeste Fan Project will undergo planned server maintenance on the 2nd of May 2021.
19:00 CEST: The server will stop responding to login requests, meaning you will not be able to log on from this time.
20:00 CEST: Start of maintenance.

Game server is now in maintenance mode and authentication has been disabled. Server maintenance will start in 60 min.

 

The server is now shutting down and starting update. Expected downtime is 30 minutes.

 

Server is back online!

We had minor issues deploying the update, but hopefully everything should be fine.
