.. If you're trying to connect to Waterdeep and finding that you cannot, that is because the WDMUD.com address has lapsed. Change your address to WaterdeepMUD.Com or even use the IP address 209.59.149.173 and you'll find yourself home. When it rains, it pours.

WDMUD.COM 4200

By. Nisstyre Bloodstoner

.. Well, after 13 years of being Port 6660, we have to change our port number. We have learned that LiquidWeb our server host has blocked out all ports between 6660 to 6669 due to a ban on IRC servers, apparently this block of 10 numbers is the standard ports used for IRC servers which is forbidden to be used on their services. Goes to figure, I pick the 10 digit range out of 9999 possible ports that ends up getting blocked. There's no way of 'fixing' this as its a block made across their entire network and not just individual machines. They didn't announce it either as to catch IRC servers who made the stupid mistake of complaining.

.. So I declare from this point on that WaterdeepMUD will now be hosted from port 4200, which sucks because now I have to update 13 years of advertisements and sites. 4200 or "420" from our old 6660 or "666", because, well, you know.

.. Big shout out to Lorna who called Liquidweb to enquire on the problem and bitched them out for not telling anyone, could have saved us in a day of downtime. So tell your friends, Port 4200. Thank you.

Connection Problems

By. Nisstyre Bloodstoner

! ATTENTION !

.. As of yesterday afternoon (November 19th) we seem to be having some sort of critical error with the connection to the mud. We are not sure what is going on, as nothing to the game had been changed. But as of roughly 2pm EST yesterday it seems that no one can connect to the mud, even though the game is operational and online. We've personally logged into the game via the server box and everything is fine, but other than that for some reason connections to the game itself seem to time out. We are currently trying our best to resolve the issue and figure out the cause, so please stand by while we attempt a repair.

.. For the time being, you can find Nisstyre, Lorna and others on our sister mud Time of Darkness (ToDMud Port 7700) which is operating fine. Please check back with the web site later on for further details. Thank you.
