Announcement:Final News

The original post can be found here.
"I'm on the phone with the hosting company, but their weekend support is literally illiterate to the point that I may think theyare trolling me. They are playing music a lot of other things in the background if I may say. Anyways, I have come to an agreement with the DDoSer so he stopped, it's just the hosting company not putting us back online. It may take up until tomorrow, this support is literally retarded sorry for the delay."

What is happening?
We were getting ddosed really hard, up to 100 gigabits per second. This isn't the first time though, we dealt with this before but we were on a different host. Now we switched hosts, and we once again started getting DDoSed extremely hard... but its not the DDoS thats keeping us offline anymore (because no, even on our old, "worse" host, we would only get hit off for about 5 minutes).
The hosting company "isolated" us so it doesn't effect other servers. Now they have shitty customer service and even shittier customer service on weekends. We're essentially having to scream at them through the phone, they promised they would fix everything "soon", or when they actually gave us a time frame it was supposed to be about 6 hours ago.
 
So all we can do is wait... we don't even have access to the server currently so we can't even change back to our old host because it would cause massive rollbacks without access to the character data.
So we didn't just wake up one morning and decide to keep everything offline for 2 days... also Arre decided to go to some obscure location after a 10 hour drive yesterday. So now he's handed me & Equinox the ability to bitch at the hosting company, but that's all we can do. 
 
This is the first time in 10 months that we've experienced this much down time, clearly its not something that happens often or we take lightly. Stick around and maybe you'll see some compensation :)
