.: We Are Back! :.

Postby Redd » 08/14/2013 10:26 PM

~*~

Hey hey guys, Evelon is back, as you may have noticed. :D We're sorry about the downtime. For those who weren't on the IRC, the issue was that Evelon's domain name had expired and Baal and Ticky had a bit of a rough time trying to get it back up. But we are back now. c:

What does this mean?
First off, we're giving a 6 day extension to both all current breeding rooms and the current breeding season. The custom raffle will be extended by a day. You will also notice that Paragon and Lucain grew up while nobody was watching. c:

This is all we think the downtime affected, but if you have other concerns about issues contacted to the downtime, feel free to let us know and we will try our best to resolve it.
We apologize again for the downtime, but welcome back to Evelon everyone! I'm personally glad to see everyone back.

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

Dunno if anyone knows something about this, but there was talk in the IRC about how people should change their passwords since the page that was displayed initially during the downtime gave at least one user a malware. However, back then we kinda assumed a hijack since no one knew what was up then. I'm really unsure now where we stand since it wasn't a hijack but the downtime display site was not for everyone, but at least for someone malicious - is a password change necessary?



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

I honestly don't think there's any need to. What happened is that the domain name expired, so it wasn't a hijack.

If you didn't click the links shown to you, then I honestly don't think there's any reason to change your passwords. I believe Ticky also mentioned that it wasn't malware, or wasn't supposed to be.

Keep in mind the malware that was found could've been from before, and not necessarily from that particular page.

I wouldn't bother, but if you'd rather be safe than sorry, feel free.

Alrighty, thanks a lot! Since I use my password since many, many years, I really don't wanna change it since I absolutely forget every other password sooner or later, so I think I'm gonna risk it then, haha. =)

Aaaaand then we came back from the dead again! Sorry about that. :'| This time it was to do with HostGator migrating their servers and... well we needed to change our site's IP address. Which sounds... easy I guess, but this is the interwebs and all interwebs things take forever.
Also it might have been the Malware Mekkayena's fault. We'll never know for that one though. Also to my knowledge, only one thing needs an extension and that is a breeding room. It will gain a 5 day extension.
If there is anything else on the site that you feel was affected by the down time and does need an extension, feel free to let me know.

Welcome back guys (again)!

Nobody knows
Nobody knows, and
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

I thought my school had blocked Evelon for a little while until I found out other people were having issues, too.

WE LIVED! Thank god, that made my week run much more slower than usual.

He kindly stopped for me;

I had just wanted to start doing some things when the site stopped working OTL [and then I got school and home issues so it was kind of 'well nevermind...']
Welcome back again ':3 though I had to find an actual copy of the site address because the evelon site doesn't seem to be coming up on google searches anymore/yet?
I see us frolicking happy together by the sea;
Everyone wonders where we'll go or what we'll be.
But we're not meant to take some crazy leap for their fantasies;
We're just here, enjoying each other's company.
