We have been receiving various reports this past week from players experiencing security warnings from their browsers.
Our Host investigated this issue and reported that the SSL Certificate Authority that we use for our certificates had an issue that essentially caused a bug with certain browsers. This issue did not affect security at all, but just how browsers were interpreting the legitimacy of the certificate.
As such, the issue has been fixed however it is possible for the warnings to be cached.
If you are still receiving warnings, try clearing your browser cache. I was also informed that our certificate will refresh tomorrow, so even if you don't clear your browser cache, it should renew to a new version tomorrow.
TL;DR: Nothing to worry about. Clear your cache to make the warning go away if you are still receiving warnings from your browser.
Thank you to those who reported the issue to us.

Because of the way I have my security set up, instead of a browser warning, I got Java warnings; but I just set java to allow an exception for this website, which ended the problem for me as fast as it showed.

Wouldn't have even known it was happening if someone didn't message me about it.
I chose to ignore them bc I trust Sylestia and Know Krin and Fai are on the level.
It basically just happens when the certificate is going to expire or has..almost like an email saying a cupon or something is ending or not valid. Walmarts internet did it to me along, but didn't notice it here
