Server offline?

Hello,

When I try to connect to the Dragon's Cliff server through the application, I always get a "Unable to connect to the server. Server is likely offline".

Is it down or something? I can connect to localhost though.

Server down again...

If you want to play against friends you're kinda dependant on the public server since hosting a private server does not work, atleast not so anyone can join. So please get it up and running as soon as you can :D

EDIT: Server is up again... for now :)

Server offline and has been so for a couple of hours atleast, why is the server offline anyway?
IMO public servers should be online 24/7 unless some sort of update is taking place or the server is restarting but that should not take more than a couple of minutes.

I also don't like it when the public server goes offline but no harm meant, we are talking here about a service provided free that causes a lot of hassle to the persons that make the server available.

I guess the server isn't offline because someone wants to be spiteful. Probably a bug has crashed the server and the responsible persons have most of the time other things to do as only to monitor and maintain the public server.

But anyway everyone is free to provide a public server (MAGE includes also the server part of the software) and to serve us with a 24/7 full service to play MAGE. Gladly we'll add the IP and server name of another public server to the next release of MAGE.

Alright I'm sorry if I sounded mean or angry but I was just curious what could cause these downtimes. Once I do know I can rest assured.

I don't know if its just me or not but when I try to "find" the public server nothing happens.
Is the server down or is it some wierd crap going on with my MAGE client?

Server is down, already yesterday evening it was offline.
Got already some feedback that the problem is caused by some power issues.
(Don't know more about what happened or when it will be back.)
