Greetings Pirates,

You probably noticed that the PTW website has not been available recently. Since the 11th our server has been under attack by an unknown source. The attack was a type of attack that could not be stopped. After many failed attempts we decided to park our domain until the attack stopped. The type of attack was a DDoS attack that was flooding the site with thousands of simultaneous http connections using spoofed IP’s which caused the server to be inaccessible.

We are going to have the game offline while we deal with the attack. We may be facing another server move since our provider was little to no help with the situation. This time the server move will be quick and there should be little downtime.

Pirate The World is here to stay and we are not going to let this type of attack bring us down for good. Once the game is back online expect PTW to be better than ever.
