Yeah, GeoPat's recommendation to go to 762 is a good one for today.
The WaW Pubbie server was shutdown due to lack of donations from the pubbie community. When we have campaigns running, we get just enough donations although lately it's been very tight, last minute. This was the last populated FH2 server in North America. We ran other games on the box, too.
We're back up with a smaller dedicated (hardware) server which is about half the cost of the former one. However, it is with the same company and in the same great location as the former one. We expect the network access for both the Americas and Europe will be as good as before. We may not be able to run as many game servers as before, but that is yet to be seen. We still need donations, but it should be easier to meet our monthly funding requirement, now.
As Anthrax said, it should be back up for next and all following Thursdays.
