Luna Ghost is Closing Down

Luna Ghost:
Hi all,

We have decided to close down Luna Ghost after recent Battle.net updates
that have caused issues with connecting to Battle.net and with our CD
key rental system.

If you have paid for service beyond 1 March 2017 but have not received a
refund, please e-mail support@lunaghost.com before 15 March 2017. We
will try to process refund requests within five days, and issue a pro
rata refund (the refund amount will be proportional to the amount of
time remaining on your service). We may not be able to process refund
requests received after 15 March 2017.

Services will remain online until 15 March 2017, but we cannot guarantee
that the issues mentioned above will be resolved.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this causes.

Regards,
Favyen Bastani

In case if someone is searching for a new home for it's bot(s), feel free to contact me. I am offering bot hosting with much more and much more effective features compared to Luna Ghost. I will migrate your bot's completely, all your information (bans, admins, games, statistics and so on) will be saved. I am giving you three months absolutely free to test my services if you're moving from Luna Ghost. You can learn more by simply reaching me out via E-Mail admin@rusdota.net

@Profforg Haha Hello Agnet Welcome to the ENT forum xD
The Site --> http://rusdota.net/bots/

The Site --> http://rusdota.net/bots/

Website should not be used to judge my services at the moment as most of bot's are not listed there. It will be largely updated later this year.

Haha Hello Agnet Welcome to the ENT forum xD

Thanks.

lunaghost dont see on since 2015

[LORDAFSHIN]

What about if i need to start a new community again and need luna ghost ?? and hosting bots with technical supports/modifications ?

[wTc[JediMaster]]

Are more possibilities then lunaghost.
For example Agnet here, or getting bots yourself.

Need to start a new community again?? You mean youre unable to group together with people without bots? xD

I'm pretty sure ghostpanel.net is still a thing. Based on previous experience, they're awesome for competitive matches, because they have lower delay than lunaghost, but they are also a little pricier.

1. ghostpanel supports less features than Luna Ghost (and Luna Ghost used to support very little features - only basic things; my bots are much more custom).
2. I doubt that there are any bots running on ghostpanel.net nowadays.
3. I doubt you can receive any technical support on ghostpanel.net.
4. According to web archive, ghostpanel.net was not really updated from 2011 (since it's launch) and was completely untouched since 2013, do you really want to use project which is stuck in past?
5. I can't find any evidence who or why made ghostpanel.net. Combined with that near none of bots in wc3 is using ghostpanel.net, this service can deadpool anytime. I doubt that you can count such project in.

To the opposite, most Russian map developers are using my services and much more projects (especially in english) to be publicly announced or migrated to my services in nearer months. I am developing free wc3 games hosting for many years and i invest in that a lot. My project is not freezed, i am actively developing and very cool (unique) stuff to come in future. I can make custom bot modifications for ordered bot(s) if needed, my services are "all-in-one", none is missing; client don't need to do anything as i am handling all the stuff. My services are the best long-term choice.

I get it, you own another hosting provider and you're looking for more customers, but please don't use this opportunity to bash other providers like that in attempts to advertise your own, it's bad practice and it's not cool. I was simply giving my 2cent based on previous competitive experience while searching for bots with less delay (quantity doesn't always mean quality), because the others in the thread were looking for recommendations seeing lunaghost was no longer an option and the provider still works. Besides, all of the above mentioned points are "doubts" (in your own words). I'm not here to argue, but what you provided are mere speculations. Anyways, I'm out.

Edit: wasn't specific enough.

@BouncingHitman
Where did I state that I was looking for recommendations?

Just sharing this sad message with ENT.

I/we have been using luna for years just like many others, so just wanted to announce this.

Not you necessarily, but others in the thread and those who might look in the near future..
