A Ubisoft UK representative, “Ubi.Vigil” responded to the immediate (and justified) forum conflagration by calling the outages “unacceptable, particularly as [I have] been told [that] these servers are constantly monitored.” A later status update stated: Due to exceptional demand, we are currently experiencing difficulties with the Online Service Platform
