The game is back live.

If you haven't read the notice on the main index page, please go do so now.

The game has been down for some time temporarily while it was moved to a new server with far better security. This is due to a recent group of hacks into the game's databases. We've added ss23, a new administrator, to help manage and secure the game's server.

The game has also been rolled back to 12AM on 8/27, which was a very unfortunate consequence of this whole matter. The hackers had caused irreparable damage to the DB after that point, and so we were forced to restore from that date.

If you purchased credits after that date, they should be available in your account. If for any reason there is a discrepancy there, please PM me (Sheepy) about it.

I fully take responsibility for what has happened to the game under my watch. A lack of security expertise has lead to repeated issues with hackers over the months. However, I am happy to have ss23 on board, and super excited about the new server and extra security features that are now in place. I am looking forward to moving on from this incident, and hope that you'll forgive me and we can all move on together.

Sorry, the game was temporarily offline for almost an hour today. I was responding to a pertinent issue that required the game to be offline, if you'd like to read more about what the situation was, click here.

The game is live again and stable, and everything ought to be back to normal.
