Extended server "maintenance" on old-school

[whasf]

Attention all people who play on old-school:

The server will be shut down Friday June 27th, sometime in the evening (eastern time). I will log in and announce it before I take the server down.

The server will be down about a week for a move. Stay tuned during that time to this forum for new connection information. No data will be lost!

Any status update on when server will be back up or anything?

Ohhh nooo, trouble with oldschool.

I jokingly wondered if this was a way to shutdown the server with less drama. /razz

Thanks for everything you do with Old School server that helps us "little guys" have a great time playing FFXI, whasf! May the force be with you! =)

It's back! We will need to keep an eye on the IP address, if it changes a lot I'll have to pony up for a static IP. If you can't connect, check this post.
Right now it is: 174.69.135.116

DNS names work with the newest launcher so you could use a service like no-ip.com to allow for a continuously valid means of connecting.

no-ip.com does not offer a DynDNS setup that auto-updates your registration info for the redirect. You have to manually update it if it changes.
