Hey guys,

So what happened?
- On thursday/friday we were hit by a DDOS attack, after this attack measures were taken to put extra security in place which is still being issued.

Why are the servers down?
- The new security is set up, it is designed to block attacks but is also blocking our traffic, we're working with our providers to get this sorted as soon as possible.

When will the servers be back up?
- Honestly, we cannot provide an accurate answer right now so we will continue to keep you updated through our forums & facebook.

What happens next?
- Once everything is back to normal we will be awarding our community with DOUBLE EXPERIENCE FROM ZOMBIES DOUBLE ZOMBIE DOLLARS DROPS AND DOUBLE GC PURCHASES ALSO PRIVATE SERVER TIME IS NOT TICKING DOWN

That's all for now, enjoy your weekend, will keep you all updated.

UPDATE #1

What's new?
- Fred has posted a VLOG to the NewZ Facebook, all up to date information is in this video: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1640246852879110&pnref=story

Yess, the new server will be even more powerful than our current ones. In this way we can have a dedicated server for the website and database to make sure we get the best performance.

Edit: this is the specs of our new server for anybody interested:

128GB Ram DDR3
2 x E5-2650v2 3.0Ghz (Yes, TWO of them :DDD)
1Gbps Internet Connection
The NewZ 1337 Servers Running Inside kappa

Alright guys, so now we are rolling with a lot of very small changes :D, and I think its the small things that matter.
Anyway, the anticheat kick for directx hacks is being worked on now. Meanwhile, enjoy the patch!

Removed the fire and changed the "background" on the character screen.
