Anyone from FlawlessRO

[facilier]

  is there any player here on FlawlessRO? Can't go to the site because of the trojan virus. No GM has reply to my email.

The staff left the server a long time ago. The forums and website got hacked and since there was no staff nobody could put it back up. The server's population dropped to 10 + 90 vendors. So yeah it's pretty much dead.

How do you know so much?

Their facebook have some of this info in the few comments I checked ;o

"totally predicted this"
"gms never on, forum crashed for ages"
"not the first time this happen"
"server probably will close, gonna talk to admin first to be sure"
"they said that the server wouldn't be another one with "X days on, close", nice lie"

I'm frequenting several private server forums you see. :-)

Well basically there weren't any updates on FlawlessRO when the forums were still working. There were 10+ threads already about the staff being inactive and nobody really seen a staff member for a while. Then there was this hacker attack that affected several private server and destroyed all the forums (EternityROv4 forums for example went down at the same time) and my security check told me those websites have been part of a hacker attack and now are labelled as "insecure".

The main site of FlawlessRO was still there showing the player count, but forums weren't and they were never fixed. You could see on the player count that it slowly decreased from 300 players to 100. A server that had 300 players and @autotrade probably has around 100 autotrade vendors around, if the server doesn't restart at all, so I conclude that out of those 100 players left either most or all are vendors.

Then one day before that other thread was made the website was completely offline. Maybe the contract ran out and the server is offline too, but I can't tell.

That's all I know.

Reminds me of how FeelRO went. The main GM just stopped showing up, and it declined until the last payment on the hosting ran out. This server is another data point on the pile for why I don't trust new servers.
