Well it’s not really a party, but at least we’ll have our forums back online soon! I’m about to make the switch here very soon, so please excuse the technical difficulities you may experience. I’m told it can take as little as 2 hours, and at most 12 hours. Either way when we come back we’ll not only have our forums back online but we’ll have some news about a chainsaw, necromancer, etc, etc.
Thanks, wish me luck!

First of all I wanted to apologize for our sites being down for the past few days. Apparently when everyone in the world tries to access our website at the same time, the server starts to freak out. Our hope was to have an increased amount of people visiting our sites (dev blog, forum, etc) but didn’t expect this many. What’s the official word from our hosting provider you ask? Abuse and overuse!
On to the most important thing, Castle Crashers…..
For those of you who are experiencing online issues, saving issues, etc I want to assure you that we are all very hard at work at getting an update to the game out as fast as we can. I am gathering all of the emails, forum posts, etc, etc for all of the issues that have been reported. As soon as I get them organized I will try to post them on here so everyone can see what we’re going to fix for the update. Again if you have any issues you want to discuss with us please email them to games[at]thebehemoth[dot]com and try to put a relevant subject line on there so I can sort through them easier. My next step is to get our forums back online without getting shut down again in the meantime you can find me on the Xbox forums.
Now we don’t have official numbers from Microsoft yet but according to our friends over at vgchartz, “The Behemoth’s anticipated beat ‘em up smashes every record with 78,545 units”. Apparently our 3 day sales are one of the highest recorded in Xbox LIVE Arcade history, sweet! Once we get some official numbers we’ll post them heres but as of right now the leaderboards show 170,000 users listed!
Thanks so much everybody for your support and understanding. Without your amazing dedication we wouldn’t even be here, so keep on crashing those castles and we will get everything smoothed out ASAP!
Thanks, we love you all !!!!!!!

We’re still blasting away at bug fixes, and the game is looking more and more stable every day!! In the meantime there are some updates to talk about. First up we have our little re design for thebehemoth.com page that you should definitely go check out. In addition, I’m adding similar changes to our castle crashers home page as well, so look out for that soon. All of this of course because of feedback from you, thanks!
Digging through some stats from all of our visitors, there was something pretty cool to note, check it out:
Looks like Firefox 2 is up on IE 6/7. Even Firefox 3, which is still in beta I believe is up on the charts.
I think that’s it for now, if you haven’t done so already please take our survey. It has some good questions we use to make our games more awesome, and that’s always a good thing.
Thanks!
