Evernight Moved – DNS Rollout In Process (Update)

Many of you have been able to get back into Evernight, but a few may not have..Player settings, subscriptions, admin, and feedback appear to be offline right now.

If you are having problems in any other sections (e.g. Mail or Newsgroups), you need to try this procedure:
1. START – RUN
2. Type in CMD and hit OK
3. In the black box that comes up type: IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS
4. Once it finishes (takes about a second) close that window
5. Shut down IE and restart it

If someone can’t get into evernight and they can contact you, likely it is because the address isn’t replicated to everyone’s ISP. You can get into evernight at http:\\65.61.119.225 as well, though you can’t do much until it replicates.

Systems geeks can fix this temporarily by adding

65.61.119.225 www.evernightgame.com

Into the hosts file. Instructions at http://accs-net.com/hosts/how_to_use_hosts.html In any case, all games have been moved to tick no sooner than Monday 6/26 at 12:00:01 AM, game times have been retained and just moved to the 26th..

Status 851 Gametime Sat

The site is back up and running, but the DNS is still propigating across the internet. Everyone should have access soon, but since it is delayed longer than expected we will probably cancel Mag7 ticks on Sunday.

Status Sat Morning

It appears we are not back up yet. I will be following up with the ISP right away and working on this until we are up and running. We have made sure all the backups are secure and the tick server is down, so there is no worry that anything permanent can happen. Thanks for your patience and we should be back up sometime today.

The servers are all connected and back online. We're working on setting up the DNS so you can get to the site and should have everthing back up shortly. It is around 2 am here, so if I can get another post in before bed I will. Regardless of whether I post again tonight, the site should be up normally in the morning except that I need to make some settings changes for maps to work. More coming soon.

Status Report 2000 Game Time

I just spoke to the ISP and the servers containing Evernight are in a van and being moved to the new facility. Best guess is still a few hours away – I will update again in a little while.

Evernight Moving To a New Server Location

We are moving our servers to a new location tonight and it will require us to be shut down at 7:00 pm game time (1900). The game will be down for a couple hours and then it might take a few more hours for everyone to pull up the new DNS. We will shut off ticks at 1900 game time and any games scheduled to tick after that time will be rescheduled for Monday. Game scheduled for Saturday ticks will be moved to Sunday as well so everyone can get back online. While the site is down, we will post updates to www.myspace.com/evernightgame so you can see where we are at. Sorry for the suddenness of the move – we were supposed to get more notice from the ISP.

Offline Tonight

We will be offline tonight 6/23 at 1900 game time. Updates will be posted here.

Epoch Blitz

We will be running Epoch Blitz a bit more regularly, it has been templated and will be set to run approximately every three weeks. Hence you will see the numbers of these back in the single digits..Each version may have a small twist, this one is ELIM and NTBB, next one will be… Well, we will know in three weeks!

Epoch Blitz 3 – Cage the Thunder plays July 8 at High Noon game time!

Luck to all!
