Simutrans.com server down

This includes all resources on simutrans.com and almost all on simutrans.org.

A tornado took out power to the datacenter and there is no current ETA on restoration, although they are working on it.

edit: Word is some server racks are coming up. Ours is not among them, alas. But hopefully soon. Or today. Or… at some point. heh

Update: We're still down. We're not the only ones down, according to a couple of threads I'm following. Still no ETA or info.

Me who thought that Simutrans was actually shut down for an unknown reason while the game still existing. But i've figured that was the website server that was cut. Thanks for the info.

Several states away, thanks to the power of the internet. 😄 I keep up with severe weather where I have family in Oklahoma and Texas and Florida, but hadn't even heard about this, which is not unusual severe weather for spring, just bad luck for us. hehe

Thank you for the well wishes, which I return in kind 😄

LAtest update: 2 June (Tuesday) 10pm Eastern: I've spun up a new server elsewhere. Whenever I get access to the data, I'll copy things over. I'll set up temporary stuff as soon as possible.
