Dear players,
we have been considering what to do with Dark Elmore Interlude for a long time. The population has reduced to 80-100 HWIDs/week, what is not that low. However, after the start of DE18 we had to move the game server and webserver to the Netherlands so that we could maximize their security against DDoS attacks, what we managed to achieve in the end. Unfortunately this lead to significant increase in server maintenance costs. We are sorry, but we are unable to keep the server running with such low activity. We are simply not able to cover the server maintenance costs. The option to move the server back to Czech Republic is not possible, because even now the server is occasionally DDoS attacked. We will not lower our security standards, on the contrary we will improve it in the future.
