So what to do without Wyvern for a week, eh?


Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2006 8:20 pm

Wyvern's website should be back up some time this week. If it's not I'll email Rhialto again to see what's going on, but the last I heard he was trying to install a proper firewall that would work the way he wanted. Security isn't his forte, so it's taking awhile longer than it should, but he cannot bring the game back up until he knows it's secure from hackers.

We just heard from Rhialto. He found many more problems with the OS upgrade then he expected and is still working on it. But it's coming along he said.
We will let you know anymore as we hear it.

Tesh




Well, thats what I could find for right now, I'll add more later if I can.
