As soon as you log on the time switches to whatever timezone you are in. The developers are not responding because they are most likely asleep as I said in my previous post. At this point they are a very small team of less than 10 so they do not have the ability to sit on the forums 24 hours a day. Yes, you are frustrated because the game is down but they will resolve it quickly as soon as they are aware.
This game has been remarkably stable with very minimal downtime for an alpha. Step back and take a deep breath and show them some patience.
I have no idea and I am not aware of anyone playing the game. Everyone that I have talked to has been unable to access the game since we all got disconnected a few hours ago.
