Ever since the server's previous IP address (195.154.48.240) got blocked in Russia, I've pretty much withdrawn from the game (didn't want to go through all the VPN trouble).
Today I've just randomly checked the game, and apparently the server has changed IP address (because I could see the server for the first time in 9 months). Judging by a brief look at the forum, some drama might have been involved (isn't it always?), but that's beside the point.
Anyway, just thought I'd say "Hi", ask "How goes it?", and commend you all for keeping a server for the soon-to-be-16-year-old game up and running no matter what.
That, and I'm genuinely curious who'll show up in this thread. ;-)
Yeah.. when we migrated servers, it seems we grabbed ourselves an IP that wasn't hit by the Russian range ban. Totally unintentional but I'm definitely not complaining. I've been wondering if we should post an announcement or something regarding it actually.
