Wait hold on.
1. You open a server.
2. You close it because of problems.
3. Someone opens a new server with a near identical server, while yours no longer exists.
How is that stealing your players? If you wanted your playerbase, maybe you shouldn't have shut your server down.
I closed it for a short period,and i made some announcements about this.
All the players that are playing now on the fake server,still thinks that is mine.
