Greetings Everyone,
Forums will be moved into a new server today, this means they will be unavailable for some time. For some, forums will remain unavailable for nearly 24hours.
This has nothing to do with the game itself; it will be playable as normal.

We have created a temporal link to the new forums till the DNS propagates completely. The link will be later updated to the usual one.
Enjoy the new server speed

Server migration of the forums is still in progress.
ATTENTION!
Do not change anything regarding your avatars yet. This is expected to change in the near future, once the domain name fully propagates correctly. It is a matter of time.

We still have real issues with the domain registar for zorgempire.net
We got a real problem with them as they seem unable to fix a problem that they created for the past 5 days now.
We also have trouble bringing back avatars, we are already seeking ways to recover them but this may be impossible in the end. Expect final word on this by tomorrow.

After a continued problem with the domain registar company, we issued a different system to recover from this situation.
For those who can understand, the problem so far was that the nameserver we were using for zorgempire.net needed to get updated for the transfer to the new server. However a problem has aroused with this domain in the domain registar system and as a result we could not update it. We sent them some dozens of emails, called them and we waited for a solution 7 days now but they have still to fix it. So today in order to restore this website as along as others we have attached to the particular nameserver, we decided to use another nameserver.
So, if everything goes well, this issue will be fixed today. This means that our email will start working again besides the forums full functionality.

Regarding avatars the problem is big as during the transfer, for some reason, these were not copied to the new server. Our guess is that this happened because phpbb uses a very long name for each avatar (md5 my guess) which probably caused some sort of problem during the transfer. Right now we are trying ways to recover them but this does not seem possible.
IF you can update your avatar, please do so. If not, just wait till the domain is alive again so we can give you a final verdict.
