right... those of you who play this should have noticed that there have been issues with the game recently:

Darkbattle.com said:
DarkBattle to return shortly!

An exploit was recently found on the server that allowed certain people with ill intent access.
As a result of this, the game was compromised, forcing us to take it offline for obviouse reasons.
The game in it self is fine, we are just taking our time ensuring it's security is as good as it can get.

As for now, we are aiming to have the game back online at around 6PM GMT on the 26th of April, but we cannot guarantee anything at this time.

The game has been down for a number of days, the reason for this was because the site was hacked and the hacker decided to destroy the database. It was unknown how the hacker got onto the server, and he tried again several times after to enter the server, which was the reason the game was down so long. It is believed he still has access to the server, but extra security measures are being taken to prevent him from being able to do any harm.

The forums are still down, the hacker tried removing all the posts/threads, but did not completly remove all. Until i can merge both the current forums and the one the hacker destroyed they will remain down.

When contacting my host about restoring one of the daily server backups, he said that it hadn't been ran for over a week, which bloody annoyed me, and still waiting to speak to the head of the company about it.

Because the tick is now 750 and should really be about 900, i will leave it to the community to decide if we should just cut our loses and continue from this point, or start Round 8 again from tick 0 (and i promise no disturbances!).

To let people know your view, use the com-unit and enter the chatroom or speak to me directly on MSN. The forums should be back up tomorrow.

Ticks are currently pasued and the it will continue at 6pm GMT Saturday 29th April.

The game is back up... it was hacked. Ticks are paused until 6pm GMT tomorrow.

So do you wantto restart or carry on from tick 750... or do you even want to continue playing?

In all honesty, I'm pretty bored of this round now, with all the problems that have gone on. Not sure if I'll be playing from now :( Especially as if we start from tick 750, we're going back in time again :(

Right then... this is aimed at Taffy, [strike]ElD...[/strike] elDiablo, Nanor, thatbird, Gopha and Exo-Warrior.

I need to know whether or not you intend to continue playing this game... I find it fun and have made a few friends (and enemies) along the way...

But I need to know whether you all want to continue playing under the current circumstances. There is a vote being held at the moment, and at the current time the vote is about 2/3 in favour of a complete round reset... (you can view the forum thread here) meaning that we will have to start all over again...

I am going to... but I need to know whether you guys are or whether anyone else other than those already playing want to join in! there's always room for more!!! :D

Thats elDiablo you b*stard! :P

In the case of a round restart, I'll probably opt out. Spent too much effort getting my nice 11million score, and then getting it knocked down twice is a kick in the nuts :(
