At 4AM to about 4:15AM the server does it's nightly backup. During this time the server is under heavy load. If you see that message on the forums at any other time, chances are I'm running something on the server manually.

The last couple of weeks we've been testing new code, running millions (yes millions) of simulated combat situations to make sure it's equal to the current code in terms of results. When we run a batch it does tend to hit the server hard as well, but I was not aware it was making the forums go into the "server load too high" stage.
