Greetings to all parties, past and present.
After many years, the server has reached a stage from which it is not possible to continue. The high cost of server operation together with less time for its maintenance have become the main arguments for this step. This is server hibernation.
The year is 2006 and the first game character Eldar is created on the server on 15.10.2006. Although the server was created earlier, it was only from this date that the creation of our server was determined. So it’s more than 8 wonderful years spent for my longest love and hobby server this server. Almost half a million active characters were created on the server. During this time, we spent tens to hundreds of thousands of crowns on the server and provided facilities for many people who were looking for entertainment with the same conditions for free for everyone. During this time, we married several dozen people in the game and two couples actually married in real life. During this time, several dozen Game Masters have passed through the server, but the lead has never changed. I have always been the main designer of the whole project without linking, looking for compromises and without the need for ads referring to our server. The whole project was always legal and we never dragged anyone from other servers or had the need to lure the player to unrealistic conditions and functionality. We have created complex projects from Wintergrasp to an extensive map system, which we have brought to completion. Players themselves have found that there is a good environment without corruption and without financial dependence on others or even financial dependence on players. That’s why the players came and played with us. So it was never about numbers and big revenues, but about making a quality environment absolutely free for everyone, which I think we have fulfilled.
Therefore, we do not close the server due to the low number of players, but due to our own financial reasons, which have now reached a point from which it is not possible to maintain the server (at least for now). Because server maintenance is expensive and always has been.
Hibernation of the server will therefore start on 31.3.2015 and will continue at least until the end of this year we count at least until the server's birthday, i.e. 15.10.2015. However, this date is not fixed and may change to either an earlier or longer date. Then we will see how we will be and what we will do next and whether it will be worth to revive the server and continue in it. Characters, accounts, the web, TeamSpeak server, forum, chat, and all other adjoining services will be unavailable by or after this date. Everything will remain as it is on the date of unavailability of the service. We will not pass or delete data to anyone, so the hibernation, where the server is stored to sleep with the current data. I am about to publish this news for a few days and you can not imagine how hard it is for me to say goodbye to a project on which you will spend more than 8 years of your life despite all the opinions about ending and overcoming difficult periods from the past.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all of you poděkovat our former and current players who stood at the birth and this end, all of you who made history with our server and did not give up on us until the last moment. I would like to thank all the Game Masters who helped us with the administration, including those who helped me the most in the past and with whom I am in contact to this day, and from whom I will name Wulf, Thalass, Aquarias and of course Golem alias Jan Růžička, who showed everyone on the server that despite a serious illness, he can selflessly help players and not want anything for it until the end, when he succumbed to cancer. You are still in our hearts, thank you. The GM team says goodbye to the owner and administrator of this server, Drahy.
You can say goodbye in this topic on the forum.
