🎣 **REEL8 Fishing — Service Outage**
REEL8 fishing is currently offline due to a major infrastructure failure at Namecheap's datacenter. A chiller failure forced them to take over 5,000 servers offline to protect data. This is affecting DNS resolution globally — meaning in-world HTTP calls cannot reach the REEL8 servers.
**What's affected:**
- In-world fishing is down
- Catch logging is unavailable
- Leaderboards are not updating
**What's NOT affected:**
- Your catch history is safe — all data is stored and intact
- No data has been lost
Namecheap estimates approximately 3 hours to repair and restore services. We will post an update here when REEL8 is back online.
Sorry for the inconvenience — this is completely outside our control. Tight lines and we'll be back soon! 🐟
