After 8 months of running the best damned community I have been a part of, it pains me to say that after waking this morning and checking for updates on the status of our server's upgrades, instead I found myself astounded.
Our host has found that their network is not capable of handling an attack with the force of the one we have been enduring. The affects on the integrity of their server as a whole has now become a concern, and they have found themselves in danger of losing more customers, if the attacks on our server continue.
As such, the data center that racks our server on behalf of our host has made them an ultimatum. Cut the strings, or loss the center.
That said, Absolution has been cut from one of the best hosts I have found thus far. However, I can not argue their stance. Sacrificing one, for the sake of many. This is a hard choice for anyone to make, but when it comes down to business, it is the only choice.
For the time being, Absolution's doors are closed.
However, that does not mean we are gone for good. We have left it up to the player base as to whether or not we will continue on with a new host, start over, or close the door forever.
More information can be found at our forum, along with a community poll that will ultimately decide our fate.
