General announcement. [IMPORTANT]
I thought I'd make an announcement about what's happened, and is going to happen, and remind people of certain things. I'll try to give as much information as I can.
What's probably going through all of our heads is, is Palidino back and doing updates again? Well, from what I've been told he is back, not fully but he will make updates, not at a fast rate like he used to on the 523, but he will update the server from time to time. I know that firecape is not fully working (graphic wise) but I'm sure that'll be fixed soon.
The server has been DDoS'd for several days now, which makes the forums lag, and the actual server lag. If you dont know what DDoS means, you can read about it in here. We're currently trying to find a good dedicated server with a good ddos protection, so if you have any ideas on what we should use, contact me via visitor message.
There's alot of imposters going around trying to get players' passwords and items. We will NEVER ask for your password or your items ingame, so don't fall for people who pretend to be a staff member. Their names might look similiar to ours, so always be cautious and make sure the staff member you're talking to is legit. The best way to do that is to check if his name is on the board leaders group, here. Many imposters have tricked people by using names like "Terror." or ".Herutus". Also, report all of the imposters here.
Now that people are buying and selling gold membership again, middlemaning trades is becoming a big job for the moderators. I'm currently trying to think of a way to make it easier to us, I'll probably start hosting middlemaning events like 2-3 times a week where people can use us, moderators as middlemen. I'd rather do alot of middlemaning in one sitting than listen to people ask me constantly to MM for them. I'm not sure of the idea yet though but something has to be done since people are getting scammed due to the lack of middlemen available. I'd also like to remind that advertising gold membership sales ingame is against the rules.
That's all, I think.. If anyone else has something to add, feel free.
