They are doing scheduled maintenance right now, control panel functionalities have been disabled for the duration. You can see on their twitter feed, which is displayed on their front page https://elysium-project.org/ (If you can scroll correctly to see it, that is)

Hey, you almost got the location right. You need to go into the subforum "Ban Appeals" to post your thread, here: https://forum.elysium-project.org/forum/351-ban-appeals/

Elysium Project @elysium_dev Maintenance extended another 45 minutes as we are implementing a new anti-gold spam mechanic for our players.

Chrome is love, chrome is life

I don't know what you are referring to, I can resize my display to any size and it works fine, it resizes with the display, even on a 480p resolution. And also works fine with mobile? Maybe this is Linux specific.

Oh that is definitely okay. I can post here when maintenance is over if you want, or you can keep an eye on the main page: https://elysium-project.org/ which shows their twitter feed in the bottom right.

There isn't a specified time that it will be up again, they are working on it now and will definitely announce when it is done. I can update this post on it for you, in case you don't see when they do.

You might have used the wrong link. Forum accounts and Server accounts are two entirely different things. You can register for a server account without having a forum account, and you can register for a forum account without having a server account. If your forum login credentials changed, you probably are using the same credentials for both, and accidentally used the forum password change page instead of the server password change page.

Well, I was thinking of encrypted vs unencrypted. But regardless, I don't think it is hard to do the math that there would be more players using VPNs to break the rules than players using VPNs to bump up their ping.

Well changing on the website is down right now due to maintenance, just letting you know.

https://twitter.com/elysium_dev?lang=en There is scheduled maintenance going on right now, which is why you are seeing that error

A proxy isn't a VPN.

Mmmm, I don't know why you think there is no difference in ping when you have to connect from your ISP to a VPN that is located across the world, but ok...

Hey, Servers are under maintenance right now, I am pretty sure that is why you are not receiving one. I just tried to recreate the situation using the forgot password, and received an Internal Server error.

I can understand where you are coming from, but it is an illusion. A VPN will place your virtual location closer to the server location, which will definitely lower your MS... Except that you forget about the MS required to connect to that VPN. The ping doesn't change. Consider this- You have the distance of a mile from where you are to the location you are connecting to. You have a VPN that is located in the middle. With the VPN on, the distance is lowered by half. But, in reality, I would not be accounting for the half of the distance that it takes for me to connect to the VPN. This is why it seems like your ping is lowering, but all that is happening is you are dedicating more of your ping to connecting to the VPN. There are some cases that the VPN might provide a better connection than your own internet... But that is such an extremely rare case. (Regarding how Internet connections could possibly have less hops using a VPN...)

In my opinion, if any staff are watching this thread, just survey population statistics, find out a relative sample ratio of players using VPNs vs players that are banned, and go from there.

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2576509/reduce-latency-ping-vpn-game-servers-location.html Verify by a simple Google, VPN services do not improve ping, even though they can appear to. Ping that exists because of distance can never be alleviated besides switching ISPs. My girlfriend has a VPN. Here is her direct quote on what a VPN is used for: "A mask to keep me harder to catch when I do illegal shit online :)'

Forums are bugged right now, it's not locked. I'd suggest making a ticket in game

https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/23742-vanilla-addons-a-z/ and you can browse the addons section for recommended addons. The addons I use can be considered at a "casual" level. I use Questie, Bagnon, Bongos, Cartographer, simpleMinimap, SpamThrottle, and XPerl. Questie is a questhelper Bagnon combines all of your bags together Bongos is a hotkey alternative which takes some time to set up Cartographer displays fully explored maps simpleMinimap makes the minimap look nice SpamThrottle gets rid of gold selling spammers XPerl gives your client a nice UI

If you used a copy of your friends client that had a cheat or modification on it, then your client had a cheat or modification on it. Just make your ban appeal on the correct forum and hope for the best

My apologies, I am actually going on vacation on the 8th, and that is all that has been on my brain haha. You are right, it's on the 7th. I don't think there is a specific time announced

Hey, Right now, you should get your client set up so you can see the servers currently available. When the server is launched, you will be able to find it via that server list. There is a list of addons here: https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/23742-vanilla-addons-a-z/ and you can browse the addons section for recommended addons. The addons I use can be considered at a "casual" level. I use Questie, Bagnon, Bongos, Cartographer, simpleMinimap, SpamThrottle, and XPerl. The server launches on the 8th. Hope this helps!

Just download mine and replace yours: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zLTUSkgCzXWUQzSi12enBWSjA/view?usp=sharing

The server is not compromised, there are no hacks on here. A different private server was hacked, and since people use the same credentials, those are the accounts that have been compromised. There really isn't anything the staff here can do besides warn the players https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/22638-change-your-password-frequent-hacks-occurring-—-info-inside/
