| | | | | | | Due to changes with our payment gateway authorized charges for subscribers who pay using VISA or MC may see those charges appear on 9/8/2003 instead of the date of authorization.
This delay was caused by new regulations enacted by VISA, which required our merchant account to be located in the same country as the business. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion caused by this delay in billing.

| | | | | | | | Our ISP is fixing their backup system, so the servers will go down at 4:00AM CST on 8/20/2003. The servers should be down for only 10 minutes, but it may take as long as an hour. |

| | | | | | | The ICC fleets managed to subdue the combined armada's of the K'Luth and UTGO forces and brought about a period of peace and prosperity to the known universe.
Having held the metaverse for several hours, the ICC was determined to have a strong hold over the universe and as such the entire metaverse was reset to a neutral state.
Who will control all of known space next? |

| | | | | | | In the last 24-48 hours, an Internet worm has started making the rounds, exploiting a recent vulnerability in the DCOM-RPC service in Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. If your computer is exhibiting strange behavior, such as giving messages about RPC errors and shutting down on its own in about a minute after reporting a bunch of strange messages, then you are most likely being affected by it. Updating your virus scanner may not be of much use, as the worm will continue to attempt to re-infect your computer as long as the vulnerability exists. Updating your firewall MAY help, but the recommended solution is to IMMEDIATELY download and install the following patch:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp
Also, if you are affected, a removal tool is here:

Note that systems not connected to the Internet will not be affected by the worm, but should still be patched anyway as a precaution.

| | | | | | | Due to some major thunderstorms rolling through Austin, TX, our ISP experienced a serious power outage. The ISP does have backup power, but due to the length of the power outage (over an hour), the batteries drained and all servers lost power. Due to the lost of power, some star systems were corrupted and had to be reset.
[Update]
Servers are all back online at 10:30 CST, most of the storm activity has gone south of Austin. |
