The company said it is aware of spam text messages claiming to offer the credit and noted customers would be credited automatically. Rogers said it will proactively credit customers for the outage, but provided no details about the amount. “When it is over, we will take all necessary actions to examine what occurred and put in place the necessary measures to prevent it from happening again.”Īccording to Netblocks, a United Kingdom based organization that monitors cybersecurity, the outage knocked out around 25 per cent of Canada’s observable internet connectivity at its peak. “Right now, our focus is on the outage and recovering from it,” she wrote in an email. “I think regulators have the authority, they have the power, the question is: do they have the courage to use it?” he said.ĬRTC spokeswoman Patricia Valladao said the telecom regulator is in contact with Rogers. While Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne has described the outage as “unacceptable,” Leblanc said that kind of talk needs to be followed up with action. “I think it’s time that regulators, and this includes Industry Canada, the (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission) and the Competition Tribunal begin to insist on proper, robust, independently-audited internal controls so that you don’t have an outage like this,” he said. Leblanc said the outage - Rogers’ second significant one in 15 months – makes it clear that the federal government can’t just rely on telecom companies to do the right thing. “This could have been catastrophic for the country if this was a threat actor,” he said in a telephone interview. He said such parties can now see how vulnerable Canadian industry, financial institutions and health-care systems are to an attack on a telecom provider. Richard Leblanc, a professor of Governance, Law and Ethics at Toronto’s York University, said the outage presents a learning opportunity for threat actors such as Russian state-sponsored hackers. Staffieri apologized for the outage, adding that “we’re particularly troubled that some customers could not reach emergency services and we are addressing the issue as an urgent priority.”

“We now believe we’ve narrowed the cause to a network system failure following a maintenance update in our core network, which caused some of our routers to malfunction early Friday morning,” he said. He said the company is continuing to monitor its network for problems and investigate the root cause of the issues. There also doesn't seem to be the standard shut down events we see many other titles hold when they are saying farewell to their playerbase during a sunset, so it'll remain to be seen if Gameforge will be hosting one as we get closed to the October 26th deadline.Rogers Chief Executive Officer Tony Staffieri issued a statement on Saturday afternoon saying service had been restored and the company’s “networks and systems are close to fully operational.” The closure will happen on the 26th of October, though no specific time is given as to when servers will be shut down that day. Launching more than a decade after its predecessor, Kingdom Under Fire 2 finally hit the west in November 2019, and while we mostly enjoyed our romp in the MMO RTS hybrid, it's clear it wasn't for everyone.
We are grateful for the amazing time we could spend together and will always remember it fondly." We look back on epic mass battles, hordes of enemies and, in particular, a unique community.
"Dear Bersians, regrettably, we must announce today that the time has come to cease the fighting on the battlefields of Bersia: Gameforge will discontinue the operation of KINGDOM UNDER FIRE 2 on. You can, however, spend any currency you have left before the October 26th date (there is no word on refunds for those holding currency balances). Kingdom Under Fire 2 is currently unavailable for new players to jump in, and those who still have access will find they can no longer grab premium currency before the servers go offline.
