Thank you everybody (lucid, the mods, the community) who took care of the problem or simply just invited friends to support the website.
Love you guys, cya ingame :)
=============
Lucid i hope you're seriously not going to ban European players from playing!!
I've been here since early stages of the website and i don't expect to be kicked off for no reason or because you're too lazy to fix a thing or two on the website :(
8 years of playing, meeting friends, having EPIC memories and fun moments. All of that could disappear because some admin is too lazy to write up a privacy policy script.
I refuse to let it go and quit that way. This is not fair. We, regular players, don't deserve this after all those years invested in here!!
We like this place, and i'm willing to rebuy the website with people if it is possible since you're going to let it die slowly.
I really hope this isn't the end of Epicmafia for me. Stay tuned.
(and YES, i'm using a VPN to come play atm)

It is ridiculous to make invisible barriers between us while it's a good place for everybody to chill and meet people worldwide.
Open EpicMafia back to EU players!!
Well calling him Lazy isn't going to motivate him, I would like to say though, That I appreciate Lucid's efforts throughout the years, the keep the site going, and all the good friends I made on the site, and I didn't spend my money for colored text, I spent my money because of the hundreds of hours of enjoyment I got out of this website.
Epic I wasn't trolling you, that's just what I heard at that time D: So I guess the update is that he really doesn't care about the site. Btw I always liked you I wouldn't troll you lol. I know you're a nice guy :-) I hope youre doing well, and I still hope this site doesnt die too ;_; But like what can we do? How do we get old players back and new ones to join? :/
This is in response to your chatbox post about the privacy policy being the thing he is doing this over.
Lucid would have to do a lot more than just change a privacy policy to comply with GDPR which is why he's being so inactive about it and a bunch of older things decided to either shut down entirely or ban EU members. He'd also have to:
* Make a consent form in simple language to having data collected.
* A way to remove consent from having data collected as easy to change as it is to give it.
* Create a page that allows users to find out what data is being collected on them, where, and for what purpose.
* Allow a user to retrieve a copy of their data that the site has on them in a readable electronic format.
* Switch to a privacy by design format, i.e. implementing private profiles that are on by default to hide your stats/information and don't default to collecting data without consent.
If anyone bought the website you'd have to implement that all on top of Lucid's code (or face very high EU fines the instant anyone reports you to the EU - mind the lowest penalty for a small website like this is 10 million euros) so good luck with that when he can't even figure out why sui breaks the game for 10 years.
He will read it for sure since i spammed his EM account and gmail address :3
yikes. don't do this. don't turn it into harassment. I get that it's unfair that EU users (me being one of them) are unable to access the site, but don't take it to this level.
