Hello everyone. Here is an update.
We can do nothing but apologize for this long wait. Middle Earth and Agora are the focus of the most serious attack TOR has ever seen. The attack however, is via the TOR network itself. We are working with TOR to help fix this as quickly as possible.
Our options are this: 1) We temporarily disable the site keeping everything 100% safe and then once TOR developers have fixed the issue, we reopen with no issues or lag. 2) We change URL and open again. We decided against this. We change URL and the attackers will just flood that address a few hours later. So it would be confusing/irritating at best for the users.
We understand you are all anxious, we want to reopen too! Safety and security is more important though.
TOR developers are saying that they think the problem will be solved in a few more days. So please do not worry, Middle-Earth is alive and well, everything is just in "cryo-freeze" for security reasons.
It may interest you to know that "TheHobbit" (owner of ME) was actually the person that discovered and reported this serious security flaw in TOR to the developers. If he had not found it so early and reported it, there is a good chance that Agora, Middle-Earth and the others would have been fucked for good. When TOR saw what "TheHobbit" had discovered they heightened the status of the situation to "CRITICAL".
I will update you all in the next couple of days. Please try to understand that this is not some goofy error, this was a SERIOUS hole in TOR security and needs to be fixed. We have been working around the clock with TOR developers to solve this. TOR programmers are also working with extra contractors to push the workload forward.
Thank you all for your understanding.
Middle-Earth marketplace will be back up the second that TOR is fixed.
