Whats happening? why server not up? omg I cant login? etc etc. :P

This should clear things up. Yes weve been hacked and databases are gone and badly damaged.
I might be able to get some characters saved from 4th of september day but all after that are gone.
We work ways to get you your chars back, migration, special week of leveling etc.

First thing now is to make server up again so we can start again but for time being, your accounts and chars are gone.
I inform more soon to you all. I try make server run tonight so we can start migrate some ppl.

So KL situation all over again? Except that people are working on fixing it?

That sucks...oh well, at least I didn't have a bunch of level 70 chars. or anything, so I don't have to cry. Take your time. I've got minesweeper to keep me occupied.

We should take this opportunity to change to an ascent emu

The last good backup was made 9/11/08.

This is newest, safest version of the core, much better than last. You should notice many things improved. I'm sorry we had to have such a set back to the char db. Stay tuned to the news forum for updates. All is not lost or destroyed, we have the raw data, although its corrupted. This is not like KL, but its a definite setback. We can only learn from the situation and do our best to make sure it doesn't happen again.
