What is Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead?

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a open-source turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is often described as a “zombie game”, but there is much more to it than just zombies.

The game is procedurally generated, which means that each playthrough is unique, and it features RPG-like skill progression system and is often considered as an epitome of a modern roguelike.

It’s notable for its high level of difficulty and its emphasis on realism, and you must manage attributes like hunger, thirst, and fatigue, as well as deal with injuries and illnesses.

I mentioned that the MediaWiki wiki for the game went down:

Someone on Reddit restored a static copy onto GitHub:

This is not a real MediaWiki instance, and search does not function.

They later mention that the original is back up at a different location:

I'm not sure that this is the original: it doesn't seem to be possible to log into the system using credentials for the original, and new account creation is broken. It's also quite sluggish. But it is running a MediaWiki instance, and search functions, so at least for read-only use, it makes the old information accessible.

Thanks for the concern, but the only other place that password was used was on a now-dead server, and the accounts appear to be dead on this one; I'd guess that someone duplicated the MediaWiki content without having access to the actual server and its accounts.

If the other server comes back up, which I doubt would happen, and someone has the new server set up to harvest passwords, they might get access to the thing, but it wouldn't be hard to have Chezzo back out any changes and reset access to that account.
