InstantAction Store

This is a message to let everyone know that the InstantAction store is currently down for maintenance.   If you already have tokens and try to purchase content you will be informed that the store is down for maintenance.  Those of you without ActionTokens that want to purchase something will need to wait until we get the store back up.

Thanks for your patience.

Free ActionTokens Expiring Today

In case you forgot.  Today is the last day to use those promotional tokens that early adopters may have received around the time InstantAction launched. These promotional tokens are going bad and they won't do you any good after today. All ActionTokens you have purchased at all times will, of course, still (and always will) be valid. So use those free tokens while you still can.

Timeexpired

There's a bunch of great content that has been greatly reduced for My Super Summer Sale!  And when I say there's a bunch of great content...I mean everything in the store has been reduced by 24.9%. Below is some of that great content that's on sale.

So please, go spend those promo tokens before they go rotten.  You won't get them back.

InstantAction Update

When we launched Legions we had to put a cap on the amount of people who could log in at any given time.  Well that cap has been brought up a whole bunch. 

If you were having trouble logging in before, try again.  You'll most likely be able to get in and play Legions.

InstantAction Update

The site is still currently running at capacity, we are working on increasing that max capacity.  We'll gradually up capacity as long as the site is stable.

Keep trying to log in.  You'll get there eventually.  But we are working hard to increase capacity.

InstantAction Update

The site is back up but you may not be able to get in.  If the server is full, give it a couple of minutes and try again.

We're working to increase capacity.

InstantAction downtime

InstantAction is currently down for some minor maintenance and should return soon.  We are working as fast as we can to bring the site back up.

Looks like you've done it.  You crashed InstantAction.  Well done.

I'll keep you updated here.
