Hello everyone,
It comes with great dismay that I announce today of our departure from hosting servers in Europe. While the EU expansion was a fun experiment for us, it showed that it is very hard to break into the Europe region, even with an existing community, aside from a few key servers. With the departure of MOTD ads and no donors that primarily played on EU servers, the European dedicated box had become impossible to sustain monetarily.
The good news is that this allows us to double down on our existing NA community and put more time, effort, and funds into what we have here. This doesn't mean we won't be back to Europe, it just means a proper break until current funds can be stabilized and any possible more cost-efficient alternatives can be had.
Current EU servers will be down by the end of the day today (~10 hours) in preparation for server cleanup and proper data migration.
Thank you for your continued support!
