Yay. I love this game, it has huge potential.
I could see how that could be depressing, that's like working on a school project for days and days only to bring it to school with the upmost excitement to show others and then have some dickhead knock it into the mud. This new era of DDoS everything we don't like is getting pretty pathetic. It shouldn't have been that hard to get cloudfare though.

Not to mention the fact that he hasn't said a single word about the game since July [editline]22nd October 2013[/editline] Oh and the official forums are closed and have been that way for months.
I think they just want to rake in as much cash as possible by using their own website to sell the game, which I can sympathize with.

I'm sure there were tons of people that just stopped caring that the game was purchasable because they couldn't actually purchase it unless they got lucky and happened to go to the site when registration and/or shop was open.

It's been way too long. I'm not sure I'll be able to get back into it.
