    I'm sorry to inform you that our Singapore based server has been canceled. There are several reasons for this.

    Most important reason is the price of the server. Singapore is our most expensive server at about $300/month.

    Another reason is the support. There have been some network issues lately and support has been terrible.

    So for now, it's canceled. We may come back in Asia at a later moment when we find a good and affordable host provider.

    I'll keep you informed.

    I bet the Indian server was costing less than the Singapore server

    i was thinking about China may have the lowest price in the world, as you may know , cheap labour and cheap everything, and China is the center of the asian map, sorry for poor english, but i just suggest that.

    The problem is not money alone the issue is that every server we start will be ddossed of the internet instantly, whether it's in south korea or India it doesn't matter.

    What we need to do is re-write the PR mod (which is in progress right now) so that we don't need dedicated servers any longer to run PR and we can just go with a cheap game hosting provider for a couple of 10$ a month.

    Imagine if we pay $270 now for Singapore each month we can host 9 game servers around the world for that amount.
