For the bigger portion of the day, newly launched superhero MMO Champions Online has been down. For all of you looking for information here’s the word from official sources:

Champions Online is currently undergoing emergency maintenance to the game and website. Players will be unable to access the website, forums, and game at this time. I know that we’ve been down for a good portion of the day. But we have numerous groups addressing the issues. We’re sorry for the inconvenience today and I’ll update you as I know more.

We’ll keep you updated as information becomes available.

P.S. As someone on Twitter so eloquently put it:

“Champions Online has officially caved under the weight of its own awesomeness Or someone spilt coffee on the server.”
