Did you check the report time? What message did the server give you exactly? What happens when you type the following in Terminal: \"ping laanx.fragnetics.com\"

The server is currently down. Remember, the status can usually be checked through instructions stickied in the Server section of the forum.

I just restarted it.  The server was in one of it\'s \"Infinte loop\" sequences.  I have to figure out a way to detect that an inform me of that situation.

@ acraig:

I know this Problem from my job. We use a external process wich \"pings\" (requests an answer from) the server on a  regular base. If the server fails to answer, the external process sends an alert.

I dont know it was  the side box that had petty much the correct time on it, when  I refreshed it told there was 76 people so Im guessing it was theat time.
\"server is not  running or not reachable please check forums or website for info\" also when I go into the game  and get to the login page it tells me to wait and then  \"fail1\" appears.

when i put that into the terminal I got :

Rehukere: Check laanx.fragnetics.com for status before complaining about the server being down! He probably did restart it... and it locked up again.

dying_inside: redownload the updater and update again. Then, check laanx.fragnetics.com (if the reports are more than a minute apart or there are no people online, the server has probably crashed). If the server is up, go ahead and log in. :)

i cant update again. when ever I download the updater it just tries to update to the new version and messes up.

Which updater? And what message do you get exactly? If it\'s the Java updater, get it manually... if not, try the Java updater. :)

P.S. Use mirror 2 or 3...

your updater. your  updater auto updates itself and  I think you said that was for   10.4.x  which  I dont have.  so im guessing its updateing itself to an updater that can only run on  10.4.

Ok, try redownloading it manually and trying again. I may not have put the latest updater up, so I\'ll look into that when I get home.

EDIT: Ok, Updater is definitely the right version now. Grab Updater-old.jar from the Guide and tell me if it works out alright. Make sure you don\'t change its name!

No problem. You probably just had the old version which had a bug in auto-update system. ;)

Hey. Welcome to Planeshift. I\'d suggest that you read stickies (such as the Guide sticky at the top of this board) and search before posting. Follow the mentioned sticky and you should be fine. Since the actual issue of this thread has been addressed, and this new post is repetitive... I think an iLock is in order. Please PM me if you have any trouble with the Guide.
