Closing of Assist - Game Over
« on: Tuesday, September 10, 2013, 02:38:37 AM »
Assist was shut down rapidly to avoid system abuse. We are now talking about bringing it back.

I regret to inform you all that Assist has been shut down. I won't go into any details as to why this has happened. I wish I could have provided advanced notice but it was not possible. There are no plans to bring it back but I would not rule out the (remote) possibility of it coming back in the distant future. This forum will be moved to another host and will remain open as a place for discussion only.

a quote from JonnyM, project creator/leader:
Quote from: JonnyM
The Cheat/Hack coders kept pushing us and pushing us and to try and keep on top of things and detect the cheats they were using we had to develop some anti-cheat methods that were possibly crossing some legal boundrys in their usage. We're not really sure without taking legal advice but non of us want to risk getting prosecuted for working for free on a free game so the system has been shutdown.

Wow, that is pretty sad to hear... I really enjoyed playing lately and got a clanmember back as well.

It's not the money, is it?

in that case we have 2 options: use the website as a place to share server information (maybe a server list somewhere) and play on join by ip on either 2.8.5 or 2.5

Unfortunately, it's not an issue of money. Right now, I'm going to host this website and then we might use donation money to continue hosting it on a paid plan. I'll be damned if I'll let the site go down.

This has got to be a joke!

I'll go far enough to say that it has to do with hackers.

LOL has to do with hackers? What a bullshit exscuse. It's more than that - #1. If it was just hackers you'd tell us, u have 0 problem telling people some shit like that.
#2. What hackers? Parkway Drive? Lol the nsd fellas, i'd say 98% of the assist population is completely legit, prolly even bigger percentage than that.

Sad to see something like this fail, even after all of the money donated for this all because the admin(s) Drama

oh, come on!!!
this is not true. what can we do to run it again. the only way i would understand that it can not be up and running again would be something about aa4. they don't want us to run aa25, or is it something other?
i would be glad to hear the reason - and there is always a way out of it. so lets talk about that please!
thank you

WTF??!! Hackers always've been a plague of this game, but the simple truth is they come & go, without any trace left, cause hacking don't get U a real joy in this game and never will. Only true soldier stays in aao25 and fights with legit, trained skills! And that's who we all (99% of us??) are - the True Soldiers! Hoah & don't give up man!

PS. We can't quit now, after that all work have been done!

I've told you all that I'm going to. As far as donations go, I don't know how much is currently in the account. We will see what happens with this site and if it has to be moved to paid hosting or not. Refunding donations is a possibility.
