This huge piece of history can be counted as one of Legacys worst downtime experiences. It started when Legacy started to have lag then crashed.
Zorg tried to contact HostDime to have Paultech to fix the problem. This failed as all the calls he had were ignored. Online Chat was still accessible but due to there being no moderators he granted powers to maddoctor/Scott and Doddsyboi to help moderate the chat. The choice was wait with HostDime or rent a server. Zorg went searching for the best deal he could whilst the game was still down. A small quote:

After getting a good quote from Fasthosts he then had the torturing job of updating all the Scripts to stop any security flaws. This took near enough 5 days to complete. However another hit for legacy arrived when Zorg found out he needed a backup from PaulTech that he needed. This backup contained all clan forums, flags, recently uploaded character designs and all of the Staff logs. Zorg tried to get the backups but it was a loosing battle. All of the backups needed were lost. This means all history in clans, logs and profiles where deleted. On a brighter note after all the updates Zorg re-opened Legacy and he gave the following benifits:
- Double speed game for 7 days (400 turns instead of 200, 200 Warfare turns instead of 100)
- Flag competition with prizes of +4 Staff Favor
and a banner 
- Construction Site open for 7 days (See below)
- Subscription Time Sale (+10% free)
