Sorry, unexpected reboot had things offline there for a bit. I believe things should be up, please let me know.

Bump. I edited the OP due to the domain expiration.

Server has been migrated to new server that does not have a failing drive. Onward!

Our provider did some maintenance tonight, which I didn't think would cause an outage, but did. I heroically paid $7 to get on wifi so I could restore things from the maui airport before boarding a flight. Hopefully everything is kosher. :)

Forums migrated!

People should show up here as DNS updates.

I should perhaps say "semi-planned". At some point during the next 3-4 days I intend to migrate the virtual machine that runs these forums to another server. It requires a longer downtime because I have to convert one virtual disk type to another. When it comes back up, it will still be at coa.ender.com, but that will be a different IP address.

(If anything goes wrong, it will come back up where it is.)

In short, the forums may go down. Don't panic.

Just so everyone knows, the data center where the server is hosted had a problem with cooling last night. This caused circuits to blow, and then when they came back up, the box had suffered hardware problems.

The provider seems to have remediated that and I am bringing stuff back online. Forums are up (obviously) and the server should be back online soon.

In an effort to stop certain practices the DMs feel take away from the quality of the server, our policy on metagaming, powergaming, and other exploitation has changed. What will occur in the event of a violation is at the DMs discretion, and will vary based on the offense, but often a death without the possibility of true resurrection (or, possibly, any resurrection) is typically considered minimal punishment. Obviously, our most severe course of action is banning.

Other actions which are absolutely prohibited include: passing equipment from one of your characters to another, in any manner, including using an intermediary; giving people equipment for any ooc reason, including ooc relationships or interactions with a player's "other characters"; killing NPCs or other actions performed without an IC reason to do so; logging after stealing or attacking/killing another character without giving sufficient time for actions in response (if you don't have time to deal with the consequences, don't commit the actions), and logging to during combat. Finally, server issues occasionally cause characters to be duplicated into the wrong server vault. If this happens do not log in; simply report it on the forum under server issues. Logging in using someone else's character is an exploit and will be dealt with as such.

This list is not all inclusive. Please use your best judgement. Remember that the spirit of the server is such that things which are not conducive to a roleplaying environment are generally unwelcome.

Exploitation of bugs to gain gold, experience, duplicate items, or such, will almost certainly result in a permanent ban. Using combat exploits to gain extra attacks, avoid attacks of opportunity or normal combat attacks will result in sanctions against your character.
