The mud seems to be crashing and rebooting every hour or so, and has done since yesterday. We're not entirely sure why this is so. The only person who can really see why is Flash, who won't be back for a few days. I'd therefore suggest that this may not really be the best time to play unless you're willing to do so entirely at your own risk (ie no reimbursements).
Apologies...
