"The Servers Are Now Offline" declares the Captains of Darktide Website, where they explain this is because Silverlode Interactive's free-to-play fantasy-themed naval strategy MMORPG has attracted the attention of a major publisher, and the game is in the process of being moved to new hosting facilities. There's more on this in the game's forums, where lead programmer Ayrik says: "How long? We don't know. But I would guess in the range of weeks. Of course, I may be completely off, so that's how well we know right now! We will be sending off an email in the near future to give any information we can. And when the game is up, or soon to be, they will likely send you an email about it." Thanks Gary.
