This is really down to how fast we can work and depending on if the DDoSers have stopped or not. It was a pretty huge attack, one I haven't seen like in my life. I've been a programmer for 4~ years now and I haven't seen a botnet hit a server as hard as that, especially with it resulting in our first host removing us from their services and then it breaking through the DDoS protection.

Ryan, Kevin and Frell have all been working round the clock to ensure this is done efficiently and we've all been using all of the contacts we have to get to this point, we just have to push a little further. Hang tight!

We are working on making sure our server is secured, and then we have to make sure our worlds are secured as well against this type of attack, it wasn't so bad, we just weren't exactly sure how to handle it at first, we are rapidly getting better at understanding their attack methods, and it wasn't as crazy as you'd think. After such a time we feel we are not nearly as vulnerable to this type of attack, we will push the game server back online :)

We plan to keep everyone informed as this is happening, thank you for your cooperation

We'll just have to wait while the developers do their thing. :P

Standing by. :) I know everything will work out for the best. Thanks for keeping us updated.

The server is back online, enjoy!  :D
