Is there anyway that the current staff can up a temporary server from the files that they have? I don't care how old the files are (pre promised land is fine with me) or how little admin support there is. I would just like to play some good ol' fashioned HB while we wait. If cost is the issue, let me know.
NOT AN ABADDON II SERVER, This is in reference to the original game.

We took the server down because the amount of complaints and issues outweighed the amount of people playing. There is a very large amount of issues with the current game (Abaddon the Apocalypse), and with no administration tools functional, the simplest things have to be done by manipulating the code/server while its live, which can easily lead to other issues (and has).
I don't think having the current game live will help our cause, as it was not maintained very well (or finished for that matter) by our predecessors. I would rather keep people looking forward, then looking back at something broken.
Obviously you guys have a voice though. Chime in, vote, and keep it constructive noting the points I just made, and we can talk about it.
I also wont vote :-p And I edited your post (you can hardly even notice!)

There is no way to roll back the coding to a more stable time, and remove some of the newer tweaks??
Personally with the player base so low, less maps would be much better. Even if its just the towns and Middle Land. Really if the player base is say 50, 50 people on 3 maps will lead to more interaction between players than 50 players over 12+ maps.
Just my 2 cents. I still look forward to hearing a potential date for a closed or open beta of the new game in the woodworks.
keep us posted.

Beta and Alpha is a bit away from a comfortable date being announced, you all here will be the first to know! Gorgeous is helping us out with the social media aspect of things as well.

G00SE, I see where you are coming from, but I gotta get my fix, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I fear that if people move off to other servers/games while they are waiting on AbbyII, then people will lose interest. Keep your friends(Ares) close and your enemies(Elv) closer.

I see what you're saying, but keep in mind there was a handful of people (at best) playing regularly. There are going to be timely updates on the future game's progress and it'll be exciting for us old-timers AND new-comers.

Well I voted no because I feel like the staff (which I'd assume isn't even that big to begin with) should focus more on the new game to get everything done as quick and as efficient as possible.

)I also vote no. I think that even if it doesn't come back for a year, people will still come back to play it when it is updated. Even me who left it long long ago is excited at the idea of a new improved helbreath. Take this chance to take a nice break, play some other games and come back with fresh eyes.

If only Tam wasn't the only person with me in their contacts especially as the only developer left who is willing to do anything HB and knows the entire game inside and out code-wise.

Lol yes, the server isn't the money sink, the persons needed to make the game in its current state of unfinished/re-broken playable and manageable is. Currently we believe this is better spent on the new project. Also, hello Zero, nice to see someone with your experience joining the forums

I do know (if I remember correctly) last time Tam put my name forth to help HBUsa officially, instead of accepting my offer to help my past was delved into and then was denied. Clearly not wanting to associate with me trumped fixing the servers
