Christmas Time -Virtue - Dec 13 03:04pm

It's been a while since we've had new News here, so I figured most of you wouldn't really mind what sort of content it was, you'd just be happy to see a new news post, fulfilling your hopes that there may be one or two of us that are still alive around here, hehe.

Mr. JamesF1 has written a new article entitled Christmas-time, and seeing as it's also been a while since we've had an article posted, he was worried that people wouldn't see it - it's a good article so I figured I'd post it here in the news so that more people could potentially see it.

In other news, Mr. Rin Mintaka has built a Christmas map for us. A few people went onto the JAA Longhorn server last night (thanks for your help there, R2!) to beta test it (I was supposed to go too, but couldn't make it in the end :() and from what I heard, it's a pretty decent map. So we'll be putting that up on our Home Servers over Christmas and having us a little Christmas party. :D
There's no real dates set for this to happen, you'll all be informed when the map is up and be given the link to download it - at which point, just join the server(s) whenever you like and proceed to party with us.

As for the Euro Servers (including JAA's Jaktorow), yes, they're down. The company that provides the connection for our box in the datacenter has been hacked for the second time in 6 months... we're pretty annoyed about this and are currently in the process of setting up an entirely new box (with far better specs) in a different datacenter, if the former company manages to get itself sorted out soon, then we'll carry on using our current game server box temporarily until the new box is set up correctly, which could take up to a week.
The US JA Servers are still up though, so we can still use those.

In closing, I would just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope that you had a good Thanks Giving for those who celebrate it. Please make sure you take care in your travels this season, the roads are icy, it's freezing cold outside and it can get quite foggy, please take care. :)

I'm going to assume on the site, but I'm not sure, that's up to Virtue. The map will be uploaded to the servers on Friday, and will stay up for about a week.
