The IP address of the server has changed. It is now 65.219.63.174, and the name is now "August Knights." The "August Knights Desert Combat" server at 66.60.142.96 is NOT an August Knights server. Someone is just trying to capitalize on the popularity of our server.

That sucks...
I called the ISP hosting the imposter server (Surewest Internet) and the support guy emailed the customer asking him to change the name.
interesting.. why would someone do that?
lol, <3

Because they want their server to be as popular as ours. We have name recognition.
Update: The imposter server appears to have been taken down or renamed. So, the real AK server is once again called "August Knights Desert Combat." Now if the new colo would fix the problem between my server and their gateway, we'll be back in business.

As of 8:30 pm EST, the imposter server remains. Now there are 2 servers with the same name.

I'm not going to relent. Just make sure you put the right server in your favorites list.

Branding is everything!
I would keep contacing the ISP until the server is down. Its not right that those ididots try to steal your players. I am a regualr on your guys' server, and was always wondering why there was 2. But yea, TAKE THAT SERVER DOWN!!
Be Careful when im on the Battlefield
If you want to persuade the ISP to take action against the imposter, feel free to call (916) 772-5000.

Walker, how long have you seen two August Knights servers up? Was the fake one up before this weekend?

How about an e-mail address for the ISP, Palooka? Or at least the name of the ISP so that we can check their site for the address ourselves?

Great, thanks. Do you think we should put a warning about this on the front page, too?
