News: Today we begin an experimental migration to the cloud!

In a few moments i'm going to move all saves and game data to a cloud virtual machine with 99% uptime.

We will experiment with this for a few days to asses stability. This should mitigate issues when my computer explodes or there is a power outage or the server shuts down when I'm on vacation. Please report any issues in this thread.

The server has now shut down. It will take some time for the DNS record to propagate. Please stand by. You may attempt to connect every few moments but Id say give it a few hours.

Hope this still works! I keep getting a server down error

this may take some trial and error on my part and i'm not sure if it will be worth it long run financially. But It looks like the VM in the cloud shut down while I was on vacation. pretty much the exact thing i'm trying to avoid. Its back up now.
