    Hello all,

    Unfortunately, Our forums IP address has been blacklisted my Microsoft.
    This means that any of you with a Hotmail or outlook email attached to your account will not receive email from us. It could be a password reset, subscribed forum reminder, or anything else.

    I'm currently arguing this with Microsoft, but until then, I recommend you change your email to an alternative email until this is resolved.
    If you are attempting to sign up to the forums, you will need to use a different email also, as the confirmation email will never arrive. Alternatively you can just register via Steam which does not require email approval.

    I apologise for this inconvenience, however it is not our doing. We just got a IP that someone had used maliciously in the past. Bad luck.
    I hope that Microsoft resolve this issue on their end soon. I will keep you informed.

    Thanks all
    James.

    Update;
    I was told they would get back to me in 24 hours. It has been 48 hours and counting and still no word.
    More information (if) I get it.

    This shouldn't be an issue anymore. Are you having issues with harpoon emails?
