What this means right now
Services that rely on the live production environment are temporarily unavailable. This includes the Vermal Bot, whose commands will remain disabled while production systems are offline.
In the meantime
We plan to provide a way for players to manually ping the scrims role, or use an alternate bot, while this temporary downtime is in effect.
What’s happening behind the scenes
Work is still actively continuing in several areas that we are not ready to discuss publicly just yet. When we are ready to share more, we will post a proper announcement.
Most important: VRML is not shutting down
This is not the end of VRML. We are using this time to reorganize, reduce costs, and prepare for what comes next. We fully intend to return once this phase is complete, and we look forward to sharing more when the time is right.
