Upcoming Server Downtime

[Astrumas]

Hello,

I am preparing for another move which requires me to bring the server down for an extended period of time. The downtime will begin the afternoon of Wednesday July 6th. I am hoping to restore service before the following weekend, but I am not quite sure on specifics yet and don't want to promise a date I can't deliver on.

My apologies for the inconvenience, I will do my best to get it back online as soon as possible. I'll update this thread when I know more.

Cheers,
Astrumas

Hi, any update on this? Haven't played in a couple years and was looking to jump back in game then saw this. Hope all is well.

We're looking into the situation and exploring options - I'll reply with more info once I have it. Sorry everyone.

Hey everyone,

Very sorry for the downtime. I've temporarily relocated the server to a new host. The good news is that the DNS records should update soon and you'll be able to log in a little later today. The not-so-good-news is that the most recent backup I have is from June 1. I'm working on getting something more recent than that but it may not make much of a difference if you haven't been able to play for over a month anyway. Let me know.

I'll follow-up with another post once DNS is switched over to the new host.

Everything is working now - if you have any problems, please let me know.

Hey everyone,

I am terribly sorry for my sudden disappearance after the announcement. I ran into some legal issues in the new place and the server had to be stuck in storage while I worked it out. I am getting the server out of storage this Saturday and will be getting it setup that evening for access.

Again, my apologies for the extended downtime.

And the temp solution has been swapped out for the permanent one. Thanks, Astrumas!
