DS has crashed again, at 2:20 am EST on 6/2. We can't bring the server back up when DS goes down, so we just have to wait. I'm emailing DS now to find out what the story is, and will continue checking to get the server up ASAP.

Hey Funky, you rock for being so on top of this stuff! If I can be so bold as to presume to speak for some of the other players on the server, I'm sure they'd agree that you do a heroic job of keeing HG up, running, and always fun. For that you should be commended! Thanks for all you do!

Thanks.  We are still checking every 15 minutes, or more often, since there are 2 of us checking now, but the server is still down. Funky |

.... I think I'm getting the shakes.... Miss Higher Ground.... Must kill orcs.... Need to wield magic.... All turns to black....
Damn, I'm back in the real world again. Ah well. I too wanted to say thanks for watching over us and working so hard to give us our virtual playground :-)
Now if we can only get those folks at DS to get with the program....

I say everyone with a high lvl wizard should just run over to DS and toss a maximized chain lighting into the server box to give it a jump start....now....who's with me?!  |

Update:
DS now no longer times out when I try to load the server's page, but instead of the module it displays an error saying it can't connect with the games server. Something is very screwy over there. Never seen this happen over there before.

Looks like the DS server we are hosted on crashed hard, since the rest of the network can't connect to it. We'll keep you all informed, still no word from DS.

Hey all,
Well ds is still down :-(. THe test server was just a trial to test things last night. We thought and hoped that ds would sort the problem out by now. However it appears that they are in no rush to. Not sure if Funky has heard a reply yet from them. Anyways I'm going to put the temp server back up it will be at 195.137.34.213:5121 or in the action category under higher ground temp server. Please note that this is on my internet connection and a temp machine so you'll have to bear with us. But some HG is better than no HG. ALSO note that the char vault is from the last time we backed up the vault (about 2 weeks ago) and there is no bank or imortal status. These will have to be given back as the database on dungeon server is not accessible. However any chars that are changed can be transfered over to ds when they eventually come back up (funky has started a forum for this).
Sorry for inconvinience to all but this is really p*ss*ng us dm's off aswell.
About now I'd like to fire a maxed chainlightning up ds's a**.
Server will be up around 5pm GMT or 12 pm US time. That will give me a chance to make some changes to the machine so it's better suited for the load.
Many thanks,
Advazion

Still no word from DS. And it was actually Box_Fox who started the character transfer thread under buf/problem report, but please use it if you are so inclined.
Keep your fingers crossed everyone!

Temp Server is up.
195.137.34.213:5121
or "0 Higher Ground Alternate" under "action" category.
Funky and I are still trying to contact Dungeon Server. Latest status is: I've done a whois lookup on their domain name and found the person that ownes Dungeon Server and his phone number. I have called him but unfortunately it goes directly to a person's voice mail or answering machine. However I've left our account name, server and module name in a message. Hopefully when he checks his messages via email or phone we'll have our bloody server back.
Many thanks for all your patience.
