You're my heroine Rayne! I wanna grow up to be just like you, only purple!

Alright, everyone who is able, please enter the portal and we will see if the name problem has been fixed here atleast. Please type something to simply test the information that is displayed.

[Harabakc]

The portal auto names everything with the character name, chances are you'll have to actually connect to test anything.

Update: I have initiated a restart, however it does not seem to be coming back online. Unfortunately, my direct access to the Server computer is not working either. I have placed a call to Colibri and we will need to wait until he can load the server. Apologies for the inconvenience and I hope the server to be back up in 2-4 hours. Colibri is very good about checking his messages, and he is equipped with tools needed to bring the shard back online.

Also, if we are slightly reverted to before the GrabAll event, we will have it again, so do not worry. I do believe that there was a save that occurred just after the event, so there is a chance the revert would be 15 minutes. We will have to wait and see.

In the meantime, I see we have some fun games on the forums, and the Ventrilo server should still be online. I will keep you posted with any updates I receive.

*Edit: Also, there was nothing new that broke the shard. It was a command that somehow caused the renaming of a large amount of items. We will be reverting whether slightly or before the event to fix this. It is very much fixable, it is just a matter obtaining access to fix it.
