Elementsthegame.com is moving to a new server and is temporarily unavailable. Please check back in a few hours.

Great. This will drastically speed up the quality of usage and lower the number of desynchs, I hope.
¡First! lolol

I'm really glad to see you spend time on an important issue for the game. Thanks.

I guess that depends on what size and quality of a server he moves it to.

Let's just say everyone gets crazy every time zanzarino logs in in the forum, sometimes the chat goes nuts when he does.

PvP is apparently still borking a lot. Let's hope everything will be fine before tournament starts. (Tournament has started)

The whole game is down for me, still.

The game works for me.  However, Arena takes approximately 15 seconds to load.  This occurs when I enter it from the main screen, plus whenever I finish a duel in the Arena.  Also, I waited 30 seconds to cash my electrum before giving up.

I don't see much room for improvement for a free to play game. What are you talking about?

On topic: Game loaded for me after two whole minutes and seems to be slow in general.

But guys... be patient. Blizzard makes their paying customers wait for days often enough. We are not paying for this (*cough* We would like to pay for some good foils though, Zanz), so don't be so impatient. :)

The game is back online. More tweaking to do this week. Thank you for waiting.

I get the message:

Quote
Unknown Host
Description: Unable to locate the server named "offramp.www.elementsthegame.com.wsadns.com (2)" --- the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again.

The DNS (magic stuff that translate elementsthegame.com into a server address: 123.123.123.1) sometimes takes a while to propagate through the net. Depending with where you live, it might take up to 1h... usually much less than that.

Thank you zanzarino for fixing this problem !

To show my appreciation for your continued support of the game, I just donated $30.

I hope that other members of the community (whoever can afford to) follow suit.

Sadly I can't access the game or anything on the .org domain anymore (which means I can't create reward codes among other things). Being in China, it usually worked before the move. Now, not at all. The game page is completely blocked (doesn't even fetch) and when I try to access it through kongregate, I get the message that the servers reached the maximum number of connections and that I should try again. Needless to say I've tried everything over the course of a week or so.

Looks like I'll have to invest in a VPN. Will take me quite a while.

If you get that message on kong (it happens to me sometimes as well), click a lot on the "login" button, it really works for me (after like 10 seconds of clicking like crazy, it logs me in, and I don't have any problems with the game then)
