Been offline every time I try to log in for the past day. So it's been a month and a half and nothing can be done to this guy?

That is sadly the strength of DDOS attacks. There's little you can do about it...

...yet where was the President during the server's dire time of need? Was he out at the skatepark with Luna and her CEO cronies, or maybe he was too busying profiting off the server's crash considering his ambassador was head of the I Crash Your Shit CO. No, I think I know precisely where he was.

I haven't been able to get on for some time. BUT!; I am happy that the server administration is actively looking into new hosting possibilities. I hope everyone will be patient while the server is being worked on this weekend.

Look here for the new IP address: http://www.nwnlist.com

We're actively working this. Our new server host should be smooth! Especially for Europeans, as it's a little bit closer to the Atlantic coast, and it's on a faster, smarter machine.

Our new host also promises more DDoS protection, but we're still fine-tuning that aspect of things.

We've had a few people report to us the possible identities of the individuals behind the attacks, and, if the reports are true, they are "old friends" of the server. Unfortunately, they're not the sort who get bored easily.

Fortunately, they are in countries that have friendly relationships with American law enforcement. If we are forced to walk that road.
