Server is closed due DDoS

Due the constant DDoS attacks that we've been suffering we were forced to close down because our server providers refused to rent their servers to us. We are sorry for that and thankful for the ones that stayed with us all this time.

Why the server was offline and what has been done to stop DDoS

So as you know we are being DDoSed constantly and lots of measures were taken of to stop that, however,  its almost impossible to stop them without proper equipment which costs thousands of euros and we can't afford that. But there are other ways and I'm going to tell what was happening during the whole period of week and what has been done to prevent them.

Timelapse of events regarding DDoS problem:

 

Scheduled server update April 15th

On April 15th 23:30 till 00:00 (GMT+0) Server will be down for the scheduled update. During this update we will update our server to latest revision which contains alot of various bug fixes.

Fixed bugs list will be added right after the update.

Situation update on the DDoS attacks

Update12: Server turned off for atleast one day to try and resolve the DDoS attacks via other means. 

Update 11: Server back online, but DDoS is not over yet.

Update10: For those who are looking for official answer: The server is not going to be taken off or anything, we're doing everything that is in our power to stop the DDoS attacks.

 

Update9: New ip's keep DDoSing our server, we're reporting all of them to their providers as fast as we can.

Scheduled update April 11th || UPDATE: Moved 24 hours

UPDATE: We've taken our skill engine apart to rework all calculations concerning debuffs and have not finished reworking it yet so I'll have to move update 24 hours. Update will happen at April 11th starting from 00:30 to 01:00. I'm sorry about that, but I want to add more fixes into this update.
