We would like to address some of your questions that have been circulating over the past days.

What happened?

- We have faced an exploit that was opening player's CMDs to cause chaos and have attempted to destroy our server by manipulating players into thinking that they got hacked through our client, which was not the case, as everything that has happend was completly harmless.
- Our case was totally diferent from the one posted on m2dev. That's how it started and eventually it ended up being way worse than expected.

Is the server secured now?

After long hours of constant work and stress, we have managed to find and imobilize the problem!
Our server is fully secured and nothing that has happend will ever happen again.

What's happening next?

We have prepared big updates for the upcoming period, alltho this problem has turned ourselfs upside down, we are still ready to work and bring the best updates we can. To be a bit more specific, the next update will be something new for metin2.

We know that we lack communication and we want to apologize for that. This issue has been critical and we never expected to face such problem.

In conclusion, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the players and members of the Velor2 community who supported us during this trying time. Your trust in us and your commitment to Velor2 are the driving forces that motivate us to continue providing you with the best possible gaming experience. Together, we will continue to progress and grow, ensuring that the Velor2 community remains a safe, enjoyable, and thrilling place for all.

Warm regards,
The Velor2 Team

could you explain what exactly the problem was so that users can decide for themselves whether everything is ok again?

the statement is completely useless and meaningless.

It sounds like, yes, your Pcs are now in danger and personal data has been leaked, but keep on playing, events are coming soon and nothing else matters

"everything that has happend was completly harmless."

If this people had a clue and wanted, they could have deleted your players' OS through this exploit

but yea.. harmless

Hello, we understand that our first announcement was quite vague, we will try to explain in short everything happened so far.

There were two attacks, one done through the hyperlink exploit, fixed from within a short maitenance, and a second one that was exploited from internal. We stated that the virus was "harmless" because the one who launched the attack had totally other intentions than to harm players. We investigated almost each version of the malware and the most recent ones just launched more cmd's to scare people more and more.

Some intern team members have been infected as well, if the attacker's intentions were to harm they would of started with us and also they would of done it by now. Alltho these may seem just speculations, the story goes even deeper.

In our statement, we aim to convey that all events leading up to the present have been orchestrated to undermine Velor's reputation. From the inception of Velor, we have maintained our stance firmly, which, unfortunately, has prompted certain factions to act against us. Our primary objective remains to foster a stable and professional gaming environment.

We sincerely regret the manner in which these events have unfolded. Our preference would have been to handle this situation with greater professionalism; however, this was our first encounter with such a unique issue. We are committed to learning from this experience to improve our response in future scenarios.

It's a bit too late to be professional

I understand that the admins were focused on the virus, so you couldn’t bring any updates. But why it’s already the 26.01.24 and since the opening of the server you guys did 0 qol updates. You guys did just promise and accept suggestions but never implemented anything. When we can expect some major updates the server really needs ? Otherwise this server will just die.

Idk if u noticed but comparing to first few weeks,how much crowded it was, how much hype there was, ... the server is already dead.

Lohnt sich hier noch anzufangen?

[masss.]

server playerbase has dropped from 26k to 20k within 1 week. How is this possible? Also, today only 4,5 k players are online? Useally, at a time like this, the server have around 7-8k players online. kinda crazy.
