Unfortunately, Candlekeep was unavailable from 13th April at 23:30GMT until approximately 14th April 09:00GMT. The reason for this is not yet known but investigations are underway.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Don't get me started...

I've had the opportunity to see the core components of the Windows APL. With the amount of loopholes still within the framework, I'm surprised security violations don't happen more often.

Hmmmm, that's very interesting. Thank ye for bringing this information over, kuje. I'd be interested to hear any follow up on this matter and how widely this "fix" caused problems.

Not wishing to let the matter lie, I persisted to get a valid explanation... my efforts paid off... the server downtime was due to problems following implementation of the latest security patches from Microsoft.

All is well now, and appears back to full speed also

I believe we have a new candidate for "Worst Threat to Faerun."

Ah customer support...an oxymoron in and of itself. Hang in there Alaundo. No one blames you. Well one or two scribes do, but I'm sure they are just kidding.

An update...or not

You do the math Faerun folk.

Aye, I must put extra wards on those underdark passages and planar portals

All appears to be up and running again now, albeit a little slow (although this may just be from my connection). I'll provide an update as to the cause later today, hopefully.

Meh it was okay. I wanted to get on but I was like whatever. We'll just go for a walk.
Wooly Rupert Posted - 14 Apr 2005 : 11:29:54
I just want to say that I was in no way responsible.

Considering how this is a non-corporate site that is more reliable than the vast majority of company sites of a similar nature, I don't think you have anything to apologize for.

I pray that such incidents won't happen again as it well....sort of an inconvenience to me when I can't acess. By the way, can I inquire how is the investigations going?

All is now well then?
