    Dear Players,

    Today we received a massive ddos attack and a message that we have to pay a sum of money in order for them to stop which we find to be a pathetic thing to do.
    Since we do not support cybercrime we will not make any payment and we rather preffer to have the server down for the moment.


    Therefore in the coming days there may be still some random lag issues or small downtimes as we are improving our firewall mitigation system. We apologize for the inconvenience and don't worry as we are not going anywhere. We have no problem in being patient so share the same thoughts with us.

    A server reboot was performed few minutes ago. You may have some problems when connecting to the server but once you are inside you should have no issues.

    As you can see, some players are inside the game having no problems while others cannot connect.
    A network engineer will be looking on this as it was caused by a custom firewall rule bug

    The custom firewall bug has been fixed and the outside connections were unblocked. You should be able to access our servers just fine

    Some of you may be facing some login server issue at the moment meaning that ingame works fine without lags but you may have sometime problems by getting inside. Thats because the script kiddie can't keep a constant attack or bring us down so he can affect mostly the login server :)

    New firewall has been ordered that will solve this problem for good.

    The firewall will be installed after i negotiated some terms with https://ddos-guard.net/en/ so just a little more patience.



    Thank you!

    Do not worry as rewards will be added to everyone for being patient
