Hope this can get fixed, or people trying to go corruption bonus or expense/building cost/etc as well will never make it to their goals.

As long as the site is down, or until a replacement can be found, can you just automatically credit the 2 bonus turns to our countries daily?

Same result still here for several days:

"Firefox can't find the server at mmorpg.top100arena.com."

DNS has gone MIA?

Anyone have a direct IP address to it?

I was only able to get the bonus credited by using an overseas web proxy (which is usually the case over the last 18 months).

That's really weird, it's not like the site is down, it just isn't counting. why would a proxy make it register the bonus points?

I just try the following to get the 2nd Bonus in order

1)Normal login
2)Mobile login
3)Proxy login
4)Proxy login and manually deleted the mmorpg. part

Usually works.

Right now though it's loading up fine, and forwarding to http://www. instead of mmorpg. but it's just not counting the bonus points. Usually i thought trying with proxies or w/e is for when you can't get to the site

yep. I know this isn't the EE game runners fault but they need to get us the bonus points or it can mess up rounds. just set up free/auto daily bonus point until it's fixed or something

Because I suspect they check whether you have already voted by some portion of your IP address, and if you use a common ISP-wide proxy (that is provided by your ISP), it doesn't register after the first person that votes.

On top of that, the top100 voting site serves you different ads, and even the website itself is in a different language depending on what web proxy you use (i.e dependent on the web proxy's location). For example, the voting site would show me German text if I used a web proxy located in Germany, and the way the voting works is 2-steps (captcha on page 1, then copy a text box filled with random letters into another textbox on page 2 to verify.), while if I voted without a proxy, it would be in English and wouldn't have the page 2 verification.

So very clearly, they already do different things based on where you connect from, and my suspicion is they use your IP address in various annoying ways to determine if you are double voting, and it sucks for people that are connecting with common ISP proxies.

How is it that the mobile doesn't work as well? No isp involved there. I swear, I am this close " to giving this game up. I just decided to stop playing all servers except for Primary. Which is heavily dependent on the bonus system. This bonus site goes down one more time and I'm out. Qz and Co. better be giving out the bonuses we have already lost.

I'll talk to pang, see if he has any backup bonus sites in the wings...

Could you just take it down for the time being so nobody gets it, and then increase everyone's weekly bonus by 14 - until it gets fixed?

Simple solution, Thanks Blid. Not the 1st time it has been suggested either. This one site is always down. Way too crappy. If it isn't working before I go to bed, you have one less player in this game. If it goes down again and a competent solution is not ALREADY in place, you have one less player. I think I've just about had it with the constant lack of caring and incompetence, free game or not.
