I just tried to go on nationstates gameside, and I'm receiving the following error. Server Error! Sorry. We failed to connect you with the NationStates Metaverse. Is anyone else currently having this problem?

And just when the Imperium's Off site forum goes inactive.


If anyone wants something to do until the game comes up again I set up a thread for discussing ideas for the game if you are interested.

Same for me, I don't get why Nationstates can't get better servers.

It's not the servers, it's someone DDoSing the network. When this happens, our host takes us offline to protect their other customers.

Oh, I forgot. I thought that it was their servers acting up, but it turns out that someone's doing some d**chebag-like attacks on the servers.

However, I'm glad you finally responded to me. I never knew I would live to see the day when Violet responded to me, and I'm glad I now got a response from one of the Nationstates Admins.

Weird that NS is using Cloudflare but it isn't stopping the DDoS before it gets to the hosting company. Unless the IP of the server itself is still discoverable, I suppose.
