Hey guys, me again! I really wanted to get this update out before February, because my son is due to be born any day now, and I wanted to be on a stable and reliable patch before I take a small break from patch making for the occasion. I know we have been under CONSTANT attack pretty much since week 1, but I think we can finally say we're to a point where people can come and enjoy the game again. I will be bringing back voting as well! You may notice a DDoS Protection screen sometimes when visiting the website, this is necessary to keep the website up, hopefully it doesn't go down on us much (if at all) anymore! Also you may have noticed you are having troubles connecting to the server, we are NOT down you just need to be sure you install this update, it will update your registry with the new IP address which is d2.annihilus.net.
I say this every time I make a post but thank you so much to everyone who was patient enough to stick around throughout these crashes and attacks, I gave my word I wouldn't stop working until I made Annihilus playable and enjoyable again, I hope I can finally say I have kept my promise. Here are the patch notes for the last patch we will hopefully need for the next month or so, enjoy guys!
Patch 1.11 Changelog:
• Annihilus Launcher has been completed! You should be using this to keep your Annihilus up to date automatically, and to launch your game! After this last patch you will never need to update manually again.
