Kony 2012 - Help Increase Public Outcry

There's been some buzz about this video on HL so I decided to post it as well as offer some advice.

Happy Valentine's Day!

As an extra special Valentine's Day treat I added the ability to donate on behalf of someone else. So show that special someone how much you truly care this Valentine's Day and get them a shiny Amulet of Ru, or a sparkly Chronos Gem, the specialty they've always wanted, or if you...

Explanation of recent slowness and temporary downtime

Hi All,

You may have noticed that the site has been a bit slow lately and we even experienced some small outages. Some of our ex-players decided to go script kiddie on us and retaliated their bans via a series of automated attacks that overburdened our server. This made the site inaccessible to...
