[2020] Fortnite Server Downtime

Hello everyone, as I'm sure you're painfully aware, our servers are still offline. The explanation is as follows.

"During our downtime to upgrade to 2.3, we were performing recommended tasks to resolve a lingering database issue. Those tasks ended up causing the database to go into a bad state. After significant consideration, we decided our best option was to restore from a backup at the moment we took the servers down for the patch. Our first restore failed (due to issues unrelated with the quality of the backup) and we're working on a second attempt at the restore. We're on it and it will be up as soon as humanly possible."

While we can't give you an ETA when the servers will be back, we can tell you that we will make this right in regards to any time you have lost today. We are sorry for the downtime. We hope to get you back to playing soon.

UPDATE: 6:51 Hooray! We’re back online. We truly appreciate your patience today. Get out there and have some fun!
