UPDATE: All services back online
Hello once again!
We are now pleased to announce that all our services are back online and functional after the issues we suffered at the weekend. They were caused by attacks on our servers rather than internal errors but there was still more that could have been done to prevent it.
Please accept our apologies for the down time and be aware that we are taking serious steps in tightening up our security, to avoid situations like this occurring in the future. We are very grateful for all the patience and support shown by the community throughout the attack and subsequent downtime.
Hopefully, we won't see a repeat of this anytime soon and everyone can get back to using the website, forums and games without any trouble!
Special thanks go to our head admin, two-faced forum wizard Janus for his mastery and experience throughout the whole ordeal. We could have handled the situation a lot better, but without Janus' help, the reality is that is it probably would have been a lot worse.
Thank you!

Hello all,
As has been stated elsewhere, it seems our servers have been the target of a cyber attack over the weekend. The unfortunate truth is that we were not sufficiently prepared and as a result, a number of our services have suffered over the past day or so. We are taking immediate steps to stabilise the situation and provide future security to prevent this from happening again.
We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the downtime.
Since the attacks do not seem to have stopped completely and our new preventative measures aren't yet fully in place, we recommend using the in-game "favorite" function for servers whenever the list is loading. You can always join servers from the favorites list in game, whether our main server is running or not. OK this doesn't seem to be working for all.
If the forums go back down, you can track the latest updates on the situation via our Facebook and Twitter pages.
We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
