I revised the rules in response to the recent drama. Of particular note, I have created a rule prohibiting any degree of self-righteous/narcissistic "justified" bullying. While Swamp is of course a server that allows trolling, it is crucial for us all to remember that this is just a game and that the policing of the server is the sole responsibility of the staff.
The server is back, mostly. The new IP is connect 91.229.114.77
It may go up and down frequently as we get everything put back together. There's a small chance that we may have to revert the database for some reason, so I would recommend not doing too much with your points/items at this time. Thanks for your patience.
Please post any new bugs/broken things in this thread or in #bug-reports

I purchased a new server with a 9800x3d processor (the x stands for xtreme gaming). Setting it up (from scratch) right now, I expect to have it up by friday afternoon at the latest. No data loss.
The drive in the server failed and RAID was never set up correctly by the host. Fortunately we have a full backup of our own from the same day the server went down. I will get the server online when I can, sorry for the inconvenience but this is just how things are sometimes.
Okay, so, there has been a hardware failure with the machine, they're working on getting us a new one. I am not sure when we can get the server back up but it should be before the weekend.
Still waiting, they say they're just upgrading network switches. We have been due for a server upgrade for a while and will be shopping around due to this egregious downtime
Server is still down, "hopefully it will be up by the end of the day" per Tempest hosting

Server is still offline, I guess we're just waiting for Tempest to fix it. MONDAY NIGHT DRAMA is starting in #stage
