Your updates are greatly welcomed Shift, thank you very much :)

Thank you Lotz shift! :lol: :D B)

24-48 hours before we can move hosts and buy protection, as for the main-server at the moment - that's up to the DDoS'ing and could end at any moment ~

Not to sound like a ***** but,

How long are you going to keep this up, shift? What if you switch server hosts and they're STILL DDoSing us? If you keep this up and all else fails, the server WILL die. DDoS equipment is very expensive.

Maybe that's what they want you to do. They probably want you to keep spending money until you're flat broke.

If you're trying not to sound like a *****, I'm sorry, but you have failed...

We're carrying through with what think is the most cost-effect route possible, we've cut the server costs in-half by removing heavy plugins and moving to a host that is renown for service and clarity. From there we will decide how to handle any "DDoS" we may receive with the available resources and services - What option do you have in mind?

Thanks for the update! I really hope the DDoSers **** off.

That is how one answers a harsh tone like a sir.

Mad respect Shift... mad respect. Wish i could help out -_-

It shall not die, and we have already proven it. Despite massive down times, and irritation around. We have come together more peacefully than ever on the forums. We may lose a few members, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Those loyal will remain, and soon we will launch into 3.0 stronger than ever.

[LordOctopus 8]

Pardon my noobiness, but what is 3.0?

Pardon my noobiness, but what is 3.0?

Its the new map that comes out.

[Shadeleaf 1022]

3.0! The culmination of weeks and weeks of work by the builders, admins, tech team, and lore folks!

[LordOctopus 8]

Hooray! Probably not the right place to say this, but I can write a some lore if extra help is needed. I always love creative writing.

Those that care will stay until it gets too difficult.

Those that love will stay forever.

As long as a few of us still love this server, it will survive. As long as we tend to it, it will grow. As long as we defend it, it will be safe from Death.
