hackedIf we are not mistaken, IGG is one of the few companies that promised to keep their MMO free as long as it exists. This to us, feels like customer service at its highest degree. Now, you can only imagine our amazement upon knowing that some no good people hijacked the company's online domain.

"All IGG registered members, we are sorry to announce that our IGG official domain names including have been hijacked by criminal and were stolen," an official statement from the company reads. Accordingly,  the hackers gained unauthorized access to the domain registry provider and transferred Voyage Century's and other IGG official domains to another registry.

Despite this, IGG would like to send word to all registered users that all information they have provided remain untouched and intact. As of now, the free MMO will temporarily be hosted at the address provided for you via the 'Read' link below.
Adjustments to restore order are currently being done and the wheels of legal action are soon to be in motion.

We wouldn't be surprise if the good guys eventually call it quits because of things such as these. It's just plain disappointing.
