29 th january - General Announcement from the Developers

29th January 2004

Greetings to all fanatics out there,

once again its time for a general announcement.
Our new 'official' server is in place. The portal is up and running. Since 4 days the Blitz Beta Server is hosted on the new server.
All this is possible because of the donations from you. And because of the great work of the Developer's team. A big thanks to DaveMcW, Sogrom,
Cyrus, Creepy and the new member atrophic !
Due to RL issues my time for the project is reduced a lot for the next weeks. Nevertheless I will try to be as informed as possible.

Some general notes:

1) We are still facing a lot of attempts to create and play multiple accounts.
Some you of might take this is a sport between cheaters and Admins. We don't take it this way ! We will find and punish Multimages.
And if you continue to cheat, we will ban you from all server permanently. This is no fun and we take the issue very serious !
If you are under suspicion of multimages your maged will be 'fogged' until you contact the gameAdmins for further investigation.
We have already baned several cheaters.

2) Much more serious are the activities of hackers or bot designers. There have been some attempts to hack and steal the code.
In this case we have baned some 'players' without further notice. We will not discuss with these people about their comeback.
You do it once and we will never let you in again.

3) Future server setup:
We are currently analyzing server configuration and traffic of the 2 server running. Blitz Server runs very smoothly - although
producing A LOT of traffic.
We might move App Server to a different server soon. There will be a downtime of a few hours during the move. Mage data will be
unchanged. But location (server adress) will be different.
There are no plans for additional server - like a solo Server. We are focusing on the current server and there are not enough
players for a balanced gameplay.

4) UBB activity will be moved to then new The-Reincarnation.com board soon. There will be an extra announcement.

5) Play fair ! This is the first time you can play under conditions, where multimaging, milking or whatever form of cheating is
seriously fought. Don't make it harder for us as it already is.

6) We are still in the need of graphic designer !


Thanks very much in the name of the Developer Team
