Thanks for the heads up!
Thought I was seriously reading that the EU servers were in top shape... hmmmm... should have been confused then xD I hope actually your MMO-ish adventure mode will be a bit of an open world.... or are you going to work with instances ala EVE Online/Star Citizen? (One big server which can hold then thousands if not millions of players, which is not realtime, and create thousands of mini realtime instances when people are coming together?) Anyways, I like to hear more about this, also you might want to read into this, since Robert Space Industries (Star Citizen) has a lot of experience and it's probably worth the read for you guys aswell.

Let me get this real brief:
Galaxy/Icarus server = Not realtime, no physics etc etc or complex calculations
PVP/PVE Instance = Realtime, complex calculations, etc etc
All people are in the Galaxy/Icarus server, everytime a player meets someone in the Galaxy/Icarus server an instance PVP/PVE instance will be created. So you will actually have one big server with a lot of smaller instances on it. (This is just real brief, read more into the link I linked if you are interested in this method and if this is even the way you are going towards).
Also if you are doing something a whole lot different, please let me know, since I am kind of super confused at the moment :p (Seriously thought that you guys were making an MMO)
PS: The new banner is awesome!PSS: I just finished playing the devgame (Which was awesome as usual!) and I you mentioned you guys did a lot for me, and why I am saying this now (Or something like that). Actually that is quite simple, I care about the product. Concering = caring, caring = loving. I want this product to be the best it can possibly be, and I know I can be very very very hard to pleasure sometimes, like the banner on Facebook etc etc, but I want to provide you guys with valuable feedback so you can do something with it.
Don't worry, you guys are still awesome! ^^
