On the homepage, http://illarion.org It says in the top right the server status. It will say if its frozen or not. (granted, it doesnt always work...)
Please do not post another pointless topic about the server being down. Check the news for further information. (found at : http://illarion.org)
Martin has already said this on the news... :
We reached the conclusion that the server must undergo some fundamental and far reaching structural changes. During this phase there will be no changes on the server (except bugfixes and scripts).
The reason for the changes are the increasing problems with instability, which you surely noticed during the past weeks. Each additional change would decrease the server's stability, which cannot be a solution for the future---the longer we wait the more difficult it will become to carry out the needed changes.
You should not expect that these changes would bring any new features available for you. The changes will only lead to greater stability of the game. This will also have no effect on the known lag problem.
Over the past few weeks we implemented a lot of new features, many of which you do not know yet, so that it will of course be possible to surprise you.
