Heads Up: Service Downtime 29th Oct 2025 (For a Good Reason!)

October 28, 2025

Hey everyone!
We’ve got a quick heads-up for you: our service will be going offline for about 6 hours starting at 1AM PST (10:00 CET) on Wednesday, 29th October 2025.
Yeah, we know you just want to play. But trust us, this is for something really important: your safety.

What’s Coming After the Downtime?

We’re rolling out new features that are all about keeping you safe and making your time online better:
  • Profanity Filter – so your chat stays cleaner.
  • Website Blocking – keeping harmful or suspicious links from disrupting the community.
  • Better Safety Systems – giving us better tools to take action when someone breaks the rules.

  • Why Does This Matter?

    Player safety has always been a priority for the Essential team. Online spaces should feel welcoming, where you can connect, play, and have fun without worrying about negativity or unsafe content. These updates help us keep that promise.

    What You Need to Do

    Just know that the service will be unavailable during that 6-hour window. Once we’re back online, you’ll notice the new safety systems will already be active behind the scenes.

    Thanks for Your Patience

    We really appreciate you hanging in there during this downtime. It’s a small pause for a much safer, smoother experience later.
    Stay safe, stay awesome, and we’ll see you back online soon!
