Which is more likely (not to mention damning), shit happening at the worst time or this demonstrating their lack of resources to complete even the most mundane maintenance in an industry-standard timely manner?  If you can excuse this, then what does this foretell about the sustainability of the game itself?  This isn't a simple iPhone app; that "undermanned" dev team is supposed to be working on an MMORPG to rival TOR and STO.

Tkksnow said yesterday that the server would be down for a non specific amount of time for maintenance. Also the SGW website has being under MGM for over a year now.

Convenient excuse.

My God.  I knew it was amateur hour over there, but this truly is new levels of incompetence.

DNS issues don't take 3 days to fix.

What can you expect from a company that couldn't run their main game beta test (which was more an Alpha than Closed Beta) for more than 12 hours per week?

That sort of thing is pretty typical for early alpha's / beta's.  Much longer than a few hours, they're getting more data than they can possibly make sense of, and any more than that tends to muddy up the waters even more.   All they're really wanting to do is help establish that yes, people can log in, that they can move around, and they can zone in/out.  They aren't even looking at playtesting or bug testing beyond the UI working and the client/server hook up.

THAT said, that F/F alpha had something like 19,000 people in it, which is laughable.

You ofc know all the reasons for that amount of slotted time?

the address works fine, its the stargate been stole again .

there in negotiations to get the 2nd stargate off the Russia's

or maybe were being invaded by the goa'uld ,repelicators , ori ,wraith and are using Anubis's power ring to keep the stargate open longer than 38 mins .

The websites are still there, but name resolution is currently down.

I have tried to do this but I still get the same error on the forums website. I added the IP and site name just like you said right below "localhost", saved the file, and tried to go to the webpage and nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

What operating system? As far as i know, that should work for most newer windows systems... (ex: XP, Vista, 7).

I am using XP, here is what it looks like (blocked out the IP for localhost, not sure if someone could use that for something):

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

69.16.140.10 forums.stargateworlds.com

Well, the website isn't completely down right now. If you go to Stargateworlds.com right now, you get a very broken webpage with some links that don't work.

I still can't get the forums to work though.

I tried going to the site just now and got nothing. It appears as if the site is still fully down.

If you follow the directions BC posted on page one you can access the forums. They are still there just still having problems.

No, I did exactly what BC said to do and I can't seem to get to the forums still. I don't know what else I need to do or if it is a firewall thing or something.

Also, I don't know if it is just me, but when I got to the stargateworlds.com right now, I no longer get a DNS message. Instead I get this:

I don't know if its just you or not either. But its not happening to me. I just get a generic "there isn't anything here" message when I try to access that site.

I'm getting the full site... seems the "troubles" are over.

Really? I'm not getting the error message any more but I am still just getting a partial site with no images and with links that don't work.

Try refreshing your web browser (deleting the temporary files/cache)

127.0.0.1 is one way every single computer made these days refers to itself.  All computers hooked up to the internet knows themselves as 127.0.0.1.

Yeah, its back up.

So I think you guys can stop debating the finer points of IP addresses.

the owners of the rights to stargate need to quit messing around with this outfit and find one that will come through......
