    The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us.

    If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved.

    Server Upgrades

    Please be aware that starting next Monday, we will be upgrading our existing servers. Actual impact to the game will be minimal but some of the data stored on the server will be lost in the transition. This includes:

    - game history feed
    - alerts will reset
    - players counters will reset (gifts you can send, etc)

    Battle Arena and Armada Wars coming to Kongregate & Armor Games!

    Yes, you read that right, the time is right for both of these modes to open up for the integrated Kong/Armor server. The lobby for both events will be open on Monday with a level 500 barrier for entry to the Battle Arena.

    Happy Friday, players!

    Sorry for my recent absences from our weekly TGIF shenanigans, Support has been a bit bananas lately.

    Which brings me to today's fun fact! If there is every anything unusual about your game, if something of yours seems to be missing, or not working the way it should, or you see a notification you are concerned about, please talk to us.

    There might be a bug or glitch, or myself or someone around the office might have made a mistake that has affected the game. This things happen and when they do we want to know about them so we can fix them and make sure our players are looked after.

    Something I can absolutely guarantee has NOT happened is a deliberate, malicious act of sabotage from a Kano/Apps team member. Aside from the fact that there is literally nothing to be gained from such an act, we are a small team who work hard to make our games as successful as we can, and none of us wants to jinx that.

    There is also the small matter that I work my ass off all week trying to fix problems and help people out when they have questions or concerns. Sometimes people are pretty... passionate, and it can be very challenging for us to talk to them.

    If I thought for one second someone here in the office was messing around with players' games to be a jerk, I would hunt them down and beat them within an inch of their life. Then I would flip my desk, light the building on fire, and run out into the street screaming.

    Cheers! :)

    @grim I try every week to eclipse the previous joke's terribleness. Suffice it to say that I think I succeeded this week.

    @neill I've been trying to play quite a bit in order to get myself to the proper ranking for the Battle Arena. I look forward to being knocked out in two minutes!
