As you might have noticed, the main server has been crashing a lot lately. Some thought it was because the server was under attack, but this is not the case.
It seems we have a faulty memory stick on the machine which is causing the server to reboot randomly.
I've just ran some tests on the hardware and found that the memory causes a failure after two seconds of runtime.
The server will stay off line until Majkp can fix the problem. But as he is on vacation until January the 8th, it might take some time.
I will contact him now, to see if he can contact someone on the datacenter who can fix the problem, as we need to access the hardware directly in order to do so. Until then, the server will stay off line. You are all welcome to play on our PvP server. Tony will be happy to welcome us all there.

Yeah.Let's show some optimism guys:).They did a wonderful job with the mod and servers,this is the least they deserve.It's not anyone's fault that the memory stick is f%&#@$ up:P
It just happened,let's not blame anyone...
Let me quote Eppy,
"Disco Admins FTW!"
I think Majkp and Random Access Memory dont go together... two batches and they are both faulty >.<
Are you sure its the memory and not the memory slots on the motherboard? Or has the memory been Overclocked? Even if it hasn't, just reduce the frequency and loosen the timings, and it'll be stable until a longer term fix can be arranged...
I blame the Haxors for damaging our memory :angry:.
