So as you all know the Website and Game were down for almost a whole day. This is because our VPS completely shut down, and we were unable to get in contact with the hosting company. We tweeted at them, opened a ticket, posted on their facebook, and emailed them. They never responded to us once. Today the VPS came back online as noted with the webserver. At first I completely disregarded the fact that my update post I had been preparing had changed back before I added a few things to it. After we turned the game on we realized the whole VPS had been rolled back about two days. We have external backups of the server, but they are synced from the VPS.

Unfortunately when the VPS turned back on it synced all the backups and overwrote all the more recent ones with nothing. This is extremely problematic, but we have not had this issue in the past. We are working on making sure this does not happen again in the future, but for now we have no real solution to offer those who put a lot of hard work in the past two days.

So in response to this, we are preparing three days of double XP starting around tonight at Midnight EST. Hopefully this will make up for all the lost levels and allow everyone to catch up to where they were at.

We also plan to get in contact with our hosting company to get adequate compensation. So in essence, this might work out well for all of us, with the double XP for a bit to boost levels beyond what you had before, and make up the lack of play time for the day we were down. Sorry for the inconvenience to everyone!!

Regards,
The RuneRebels Team.

Update:

It was running, but last night we started having problems with our hosting company again, and as they have not gotten back to us, we're taking this up time opportunity to take everything and run. We'll keep you informed, if the website goes down feel free to check our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/rune.rebels When RuneRebels is back up and fully functional on a stable host, we will be hosting a Double XP Week

Also worldscape is on a seperate VPS, so also enjoy our RSPS (not a remake) at http://www.worldscapeblitz.com/blitz/home/

Is there anyway to make at least one of those double xp days on Saturday or something? I have school plus homework and it's tougher for me to play during the week.
Thanks,
Bear Barf

I second Bear Barf on this one, I also have class and work during the week so if it could be a double xp weekend (like friday-sunday) it would more than likely be much more convienent for most players. It would also allow time for players to prepare as in gather resources and whatnot. Either way I'll definitely make time to get some double xp

holy shit I never thought I'd be so happy I hadn't played significantly in the last 2 days. My condolences to anybody who lost stats/items

this.

also people saying we should have it on weekends.. some people have lives and friends.. and go out.. and do things.. besides.. im off the next two days, so it's perfect for me! can't please everyone!

I agree that we should have at least one of the double xp days during the weekend so that those who are free during the week can have a day and those who are free during the weekend can have a day.

The RuneRebels Team handled this very well, I support it happening over the next three days as planned. Can't wait to get started with this Double XP.

Good job, guys, and hang in there!

I have a life too I'm actually hanging out with my best bud almost all of friday but we plan on playing this most of the time hahha idc when it happens really, i was just saying it would be most convenient for myself on the weekend but it's still cool that it's happening at all. with the already double xp from the original game it'll be like quadruple xp
