Website Upgraded!

Lets start off with the good news; we have a whole new website for you guys! The new website is an entire new design that Kevin worked very hard on, so make sure to thank him for it!

The world select page, online players page, as well as the web client have all been completely rewritten for this new website. The donation page and the highscores will follow very soon, and we hope you guys like the new design!

And now for the bad news; as I was going through the old code and rewriting it for the new website, I discovered a suspicious file on the web server. This was during the planned maintenance, which wasn't supposed to take so long. As a precaution, we did a full security sweep of our VPSes, which is why the maintenance took longer than expected. However, as a security precaution, we recommend that you change your password for the RuneRebels website. Additionally, if you use the same password on any other websites, you should change it on those sites as well. All of our passwords are salted and hashed, so they should be secure, but we always want to be transparent with you guys. We take security very seriously, and will always make sure all your information is secure!

Lastly, we have made significant progress on the 2.0 update, and this is now reflected in the progress bar on the homepage. Enjoy the game!

Nice job Kevin. If I may ask, what did the file actually do and how did it get there?

The file got there through a security vulnerability in code that I wrote in high school; it has been removed from the site completely. The file appeared to allow the attacker access to the database.
