Well, the server lost it&#039;s intelligence. I&#039;ve been on the phone with Darkstar about gettings things back to normal, but so far it&#039;s just being wacky, I tried logging into my admin panel and it said my password was wrong, after I confirmed it wasn&#039;t, it called me a liar, then drew a moustache on my photo id, after I yelled at it, it told me to go blow a sheep. Until this is all fixed, expect some glitches, wacky stuff, etc on the server. Sorry :X -Later that day, another post is made > We seem to have begun leveling up, getting XP whatnot, The server is still out of my control, I don&#039;t know why things are being weird >.< Luckily there is no untampered access to the database, so the levels and whatnot aren&#039;t permanent. Stand by for more info. -Later again > My connection is being odd...the admin panel is being odd... It&#039;s yelling weird things at me, it&#039;s telling me things...
