Everybody is now connecting to our website via Cloudflare servers. Hopefully some of you have noticed a slight speed increase in loading images and other static content. What we need to do next is shut off access to our website that does not pass through Cloudflare. In order to do this we'll be blocking all IP addresses apart from Cloudflare proxies in our firewall.

This change has the potential to leave some players unable to access our website, however our Online Chat is hosted elsewhere and will remain unaffected. As such we'll be holding a meeting... wait that sounds boring... as such we'll be holding a party, tonight in Online Chat.

The more players we can get in there the better as the more likely we are to spot problems as this change is implemented. The party starts at 5pm (EST) server time and there will be cake, some random discussion, some prize giving and maybe some games of Poker (Triplejack) / iSketch.

Oh yeah, on a side note the next warfare map will be coming out 5 hours early this time as I have places to be. It will go live at midnight (GMT) / 7pm (EST) server time. So make sure you're ready. These blogs are getting shorter and shorter...

Time flies quickly it seems, next warfare map will be released tomorrow. We'll be going to the symmetrical desert map as we go back in to the normal rotation. Starting positions will not be released ahead of time and the middle objective will be the hospital.

New abilities are being created on Dev as we speak, a few of them are quite complicated so may take a while but they should be up pretty soon.

Over the next few days we're migrating our service to Cloudflare. This involves updating our DNS records which take time to propagate around the Internet, so may leave you unable to connect for a while. We would advise everyone use either Google's DNS servers or OpenDNS instead of the ones provided by your ISP as these are normally quick to update and reliable. Instructions for switching to either can be found on their respective websites.

We would also like to remind all players that if you go to command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns" this will wipe your locally cached DNS records and is a good way to fix problems connecting to our site. Some browsers like Firefox like to keep their own caches and will require a restart if you start having problems.

We are still hosting our site through Fasthosts but all connections will be routed through Cloudflares' reverse proxy. This will result in much faster loading times for players around the world as you will always be pulling images and other static content from local nearby servers. It will also be increasing the sites security and give us some level of protection from DDOS attacks.
