trouble getting into IGN neverwinter vault

[Legacy_Wall3T]

               i dunno, it could just be me.

did i miss a memo? or can anyone else get into the ign nwnvault? i use firefox and it keeps telling me it has problems loading the the page saying it cant find the server


edit: the old vault is still currently down, but its entire archive is saved and being put onto the new vault neverwintervault.net/ anyone who is worried about losing there content can know its being restored there '>

I am very interested in this. Can anyone access the old Vault?

               Can't get in. I wonder if this is temporary.

But... I suspect not given the lack of an error page while ign itself is still operating.

               Same for me - http://nwvault.ign.com/ gives Error: Server not found!

               The ark is built and full of animals.

Every module listed in Never Launcher is safe on a public server ( and the data is such that it can be accessed though not implemented yet by me ).

Rolo has been maintaining a separate backup of the entire vault on his hard drive, with the files and the raw html of every page, and was migrating these to the vault 2.0.

If the vault has sunken, we need to finish landing the ark. If not, and i hope not, we need to redouble our efforts to get vault 2.0 completely ready for this to happen.

               wow i hadnt expected that sort of response... okay so IGN just shuts down servers as they feel like it? thats really terrible news if true '>

i could gain access to bits of it through internet explorer, but it appeared as if nothing was updated. looks like alot of people called it right to make another vault.

I hope its only a hoax/ or some sort of server issue, but im all for a real community vault now

               OK did the logical thing and went onto the witcher vault in order to use the links there to test the rest of the ign vault sites. Apart from nwn there are 2 other vaults that are down - Vanguard and Warhammer. Of the rest of them there were a couple that have become general ign sites but apart from that all are working. The thing that struck me was that none of them appears to have been updated since 2012 and most not since 2011. To my mind that would make all of them more elligible for closing than nwn but I suppose it is the sheer amount of material that has been produced for nwn and nwn2 that actually made it more attractive for closure (if as I suspect it has).

While I was at it I thought I would pay a visit to the nexus to see if anyone on there had noticed. Instead I noticed something myself. I logged in on the front page and then went to the forums. There I discovered I was supposed to log in again if I wanted to post!!!! You have got to be kidding me.

               I wonder if it has anything to do with Atari declaring bankruptcy and selling their assets individually, including their rights to the D&D license, which NWN makes use of. The auction of Atari's assets goes forward in July to any buyer who can afford said licenses that the publisher currently has individual franchise rights to.

It's not just games, either -- intellectual property, like the rights to the famous logo, is also up for grabs. The auction is
expected to take place from 16 to 19 July.

I'd like to think it's just a DNS issue and that NWVault will be back up eventually.

FP!

               <the good, the bad...>

The good news is that the sky is not falling!
But if it is we have a bomb shelter. As Pain mentioned above, we have all the project files and metadata archived (as of last Sunday). And we have hosting for the next two years paid for.

The bad news is most of that is still in archive form and inaccessible. We are working on that.

The odd thing is, if you go to the vault hub (which is the hub for all the IGN Vault network) the ads are all old (mostly Warcraft), but *all* the "Network Headlines" are NwN headlines from the nwvault :-P

Am I the *only* admin doing any updates at all at all? :-P

               Every once in a while, I like to go back to http://nwvault.ign.com/ because I like to see if anyone has created any new hak content and modules e.t.c that I can download for NWN 1.
I have Yahoo as my home page and have the "n.w. vault ign site" bookmarked on the Yahoo home page. (along with numerous other sites too)

Is there anyone out there who still creates new content for NWN 1 these days?
As I said, I'm always interested in going back there once in a while to take a look around.

Like you guys above, I'm also having a problem trying to load up http://nwvault.ign.com/ with it showing me a blank page telling me that it cannot connect to the server. '
This is very highly annoying indeed!'

At least it brings me some piece of mind to know that I'm not the only person with the same problem
either.

I'm afraid I don't really have anything new to add that you guys don't already know.
I don't really know any of the technical stuff that you guys do. Allow me to put on my dunces hat
here.'>

If anyone here finds that site goes back up for them, please could they post here to let others know?
I just hope this problem will be rectified as soon as possible! *sigh!*

Just one other thing.
I'm curious to know something about http://neverwintervault.org/
I only just discovered it this evening while trying to search for a working link to the the "n.w. vault  ign site." It looks quite nice whoever built it. It also seems quite a new site too.
Has it been up there for long?

What kinds of files can I find on there?
Will any NWN 1 haks and any other such content be uploaded there in future?
The thing for me personally is, before this problem came about with the "n.w. vault ign site" this evening, every once in a while I would still have a problem trying to load up that site, but I guess it's probably because other people were trying to use it for whatever reason, and I'd wait a number of hours, then try it again later when it has been freed up.

This new site at http://neverwintervault.org/ (I assume it's new, but please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) is easily accessible to me right now. So if anyone happens to make anything new for NWN 1, it would be nice to know that it has been uploaded there so I can take a look.
It's just a bit of a shame about the "n.w. vault ign site" right now. '>
I really hope it will come back up for us sometime soon!
I know there is stuff loaded on there for NWN 2 also.
I don't have this version on my PC at the moment.
But I can only just about imagine how painful it must be trying to access this stuff. :-/ *deep sigh!*
