Is http://www.avalon-rpg.com/ down?
« on: November 21, 2011, 06:13:06 PM »
As a long-time player that's been away from the land for many years, I was considering a return. Decided to visit the main website, catch up on recent history, grab a copy of AVPlay and see what was going on.

To my disappointment, I find the main site down. A quick whois search also shows a recent record modification.

Is the game itself still active? What's going on?

It was running yesterday. I don't know what's happening.

Avalon is experiencing a bit of downtime right now that may last anywhere from a few more hours to a couple more days. Genesis is aware of an actively working on the issue with Avalon's ISP to get things back up-and-running as soon as possible. If I hear more, I will update this post accordingly.


Hoping it gets fixed soon,

They weren't stupid enough to let the domain name lapse, were they?

Avalon will be back up in 5-16 hours.

I have many fond memories of my adventures in the land and was looking forward to possibly returning after a long absence.

Thank you! I feel a little more optimistic now!

We are now looking at under 3 hours.

if you're starved for Avalon, why not read some of Ender's advice on these bulletin boards? If you're a dedicated player generally and a fighter specifically he's made some concrete, insightful posts that are quite fun to read.

Avalon is back up. Use game.avalon-rpg.com, 23 or the IP directly: 208.43.107.156 (again port 23) to connect.

It's still not working for me at all, unless I'm a complete idiot and that's not an impossibility!
Responses I get are:

Is the game itself up, or is that down as well?
Where might I find a copy of AVPlay outside of the Avalon web domains? The public ftp server is now requesting a user/pass.

Well game.avalon-rpg.com does not have a web-server on it, so it will not respond. http://avalon-rpg.com works for me, you may need to flush your cache in order to see it.
