4 Dimensions is moving on

After waiting 2 weeks in vain for the crashed server to come up again, (and for the server people to even respond to our e-mails and phone calls), we’ve decided to cut our losses and start looking forward again.
The gameplay has fortunately been affected very little. We moved to a new and better server over a week ago, and we had fresh backups of both the code and the player files.
We are however going to lose a month’s building work on all three Ports, since the last backup of the World files is from November 5th.
Worse still, we’ve lost our Webpage and our Discussion Forums. We’ll have to restore the webpage from scratch, which means extensive work, and the Forums are lost for good, unless the server decides to come to life again.
We also seem to have lost about half our playerbase, but hopefully most of them will find their way back, once things return to normal. The old address, 4dimensions.org Port 6000 works again.
All this is a pain in the behind, but it takes more than that to bring us down. And no use crying over spilled milk.
On the bright side, the work on our newest feature, the Gladiator Arena, has proceeded during all this, and we’re going to open it for playtesting within a week. I’ll post some info about that, once we are all set to go.
