Hey all,
We hope you enjoyed the winter update, but its time has finally ended (for better or for worse), and the original hunt Multiplayer levels are now available once again. Ironic, that Marble Blast has thawed right after one of the coldest days of the year so far (at least, for those in the US East).
As well, we hope that our transition to the new site has been smooth for you. There have been some issues regarding in-game connectivity to the leaderboards, with some scripts having longer load times than expected. We will try to address these in the upcoming weeks, but just bear with us for now as we investigate.
Thanks for a great Winter Event, and who knows what may happen around the time of mud season... No promises.

Greetings folks,
While we apologize for the extended maintenance and the delay in bringing all of our services back online, we are pleased to announce that MarbleBlast.com, and the Leaderboards service are now both located on our brand new blazing fast server located in London, UK! This newer server hardware and extensive hardware capabilities should reduce the number of server crashes and increase the amount of traffic our services can withstand during peak hours. You may also notice increased performance when submitting scores to the server, even in the remote regions of the globe.
In addition, our Website is now running on the latest and greatest version of Joomla 3.3.6! As some of you are aware, we've been running on Joomla 2.5.xx, which had its final day of long term support on December 31st, 2014. As a result, we took the server hardware upgrade opportunity to also upgrade our Joomla CMS system. There may be small portions of the website that are still a bit buggy, and we would appreciate it if you would let us know in the Feedback Forum if you encounter any bugs or issues in the next few days.
As always, additional update notes may be found on the Forums under the Rules & News section that detail additional upgrades and changes that were made in this weekend's maintenance. And, of course, please let us know if you encounter any troubles or issues when using the Website or Leaderboards so we may be made aware of any errors as a result of our updates.
Cheers,
