So, as some of you may have wondered, we have changed our domain. You may ask, what why were we unhappy with the previous one?
Well... simply put, we weren't. We were as happy as you were, until the very day we stumbled upon a big issue. The domain name was about to run out, so we tried contacting the domain provider for pre-lengment of the contract, however we found that it is still registered under Piranchas. Naturally, we thought it's no biggie as we were in good terms with Piranchas and just kindly asked him to provide us the account key - that we needed to extend the contract. Unfortunately, we've got a not too nice of a surprise. Although we were the ones paying for bills and managing everything, Piranchas felt the sudden need of making a cashin and asking for astronomical prices for us to pay since apparently we need to - which is a total bloody nonsense. So, after us refusing to pay for a scam, to pay for something we rightfully owned, we decided not to co-operate with Piranchas because the offer was absurd and definitely not fair nor what we would have expected from a man, that we considered a friend and one of original founders. After the dissapointing news we were playing around with possibilites, unfortunately, the best solution we were able to reach out to was obtaining an entirely new domain (ambrosia-servers.eu) since, ambrosia-servers.com is taken and although it won't be up, it is registered under Piranchas's name and cannot be renewed for a good while. We are dissapointed a lot, not only because we had faith in Piranchas regarding him as one of our good friends who turned out to do a giant cash-in and basically f*ck us over but also that we will lose a lot of traffic we have obtained by hard and honest work.
After all, we believe that we can get back to where we used to be with our forum numbers, or even better, still it's sad to lose something we deserved to have. Well, what can we say, hopefully we'll have better luck in the future. Speaking of which, there's something we want to touch on.
We will be actively working on our community, don't be mistaken, just because of series of unhappyness, we won't stop working hard, in fact, it motivates us to work even harder, so do not fear, just bear with us. Also, since we didn't really have a chance to stay in touch with you guys, what we sincerely apologise for, the Christmas Event may be a bit delayed (although you will recieve your prices sooner or later, don't worry) and we also didn't have a chance to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year! So yeah, we hope you'll stay healthy and have a good one with your family and friends! Well.. That's about it.
See you on the servers!
