I appreciate the support, thanks everyone has been far more understanding than I was expecting. I think I am just going to fix the game tomorrow with no accounts. Everyone will have to start again. I will close the security holes so that this won't happen again, and I will work much harder on getting a new bigger better starfighter sequel ready

Source from the creator's forum. Looks like we're starting all over again.

There is no record of who was deleted etc. But the suggestion is probably to put people who were in the top 50, either from a screenshot if someone has one, or by a kind of roll call on the forum where people who were in the top 50 can post or be remembered by other players.
It seems that lots of people would be happy just to start again from the beginning rather than waiting for ages for the game to come back. The longer it takes aswell the more impact its going to have on other things. e.g. any messages on this forum from the last few days will probably be wiped in order to get the accounts back. Which would be a pain.
I think everyone will just have to restart tomorrow and I will close up the security holes to stop this happening again.

o.O Wow... on the last 3 pages there were LESS comments to flag then usual... no useless cry, no flaming, only (slightly) senseful comments.
@DJ: Agree to the most: I have no problem with being reset (1k kills aren't much), but the Guest_Alblaka is stupid -.-

FIREWALL!!! Nah, I just like the word. Wallz o' fiiiire! Anyway, I doubt many people would really mind if they got reset. Everyone has cooled down now, I doubt even Dititz is that angry. It's just a virtual number for alot of people, the ships aren't that important.

I'm okay with that, I've gotten warships on guests, so it's not like it's a huge problem to restart. Having the game is better than not having it, since either way all our accounts are gone anyway. The only problem i see with this is I'm betting about half the people who play are going to start hacking, but it's still better than nothing. And two words: Fire-Wall.

I dont really want my account reset, but comparing that to not playing I would rather have it fixed. After all what good is an account you can't play

Ben I would rather have a new account then have no account. I did not have much kills so i am not sure what it is like. But if you had a lot of skill you would be able to get the kills back

runerocker, a firewall wouldnt have stopped the problem and would block everyone trying to connect to the game. So don't talk down to me about stuff you obviously dont understand

Lol, I still say invest in a *free* firewall. redundancy it if you need to. But really, it's free, takes you 10 minutes, and protects (or would have, if you'd have bothered to do it) years of collective playtime by hundreds of people.

On the plus side, it IS fun trying out all the ships on guest without caring about dying or whatnot. I'm pretty newb at this game @ around 400 kills.
I can see plp with 10k kills being mad, but seriously, you can't blame Ben for that. And I think it would be nice for people to be using roughly the same ships for a bit. More skill and less *ooh just because i have a a friggin huge ship i pwn you*

Fun game but some idiot always pulls out a thunderbolt mine or vortex bomb when ur about to kill em. its kind of annoying.
