Ok well basically I think most of the players that played Project Midnight were aware of why we took it down. Basically players were hassling the gm's and harassing other players by killing them over and over when they was trying to level (this was in noob areas) and this caused people to not onlyleave but in one case the server recieved a Dos attack from an unhappy player. This made the host quite angry and decided he wanted to take the server down to think about whether this was going anywhere and if we was wasting our time.
Anyway we have discussed it and we found one reason we struggled was the fact we had 2 gm's in game struggling to cope because people were hassling them about things. And the other 2 me and phil were busy RUSHING development of things we had been planning. This caused alot of problems because things couldn't be tested and people moaned more when things weren't working out right with the new stuff.
But Project Midnight is now open in DEVELOPMENT ONLY and we are going to take the time to revise everything add alot of content and new quests and features and make sure they work and the system is right. When this is done the server will again go live with 4 active gm's handling the game. We will be permentely banning cheaters , abbusive people and people that hassle the game masters about making items monsters or becoming gm's themselves will be warned and if continue will be banned.
As we have said before we value the community we gain and don't want a server full of abusive people that got nothing better to do than ruin it for everyone else.
Anyway thats the status of the server and I hope that any people that played PM and enjoyed it will come back and give us another chance to make this server as good as we can.
We will again keep you all posted on how development is going and post rough dates on when we think the server is ready to go live.
We aren't making any mistakes this time and things will be dealt with better than ever.
Thanks for reading and leave any comments here (not abuse or flamming please).
