Black screen of death??

[Golum]

I was in the middle of rping around a campfire and all of the sudden i lagged out. Checked to make sure i was still connected to the net and i was, so i tried to log back in. Since then when i open up Illarion and try to log on i get nothing but a black screen. No "kicked by GM" no "no connection to server" or whatever, just a black screen that goes on for 15 minutes+.

im wondering if this means im banned or lagged out or just my computer not liking the program. Ive tried rebooting, reconnecting, everything but still a black screen.

i dont think ive done anything to deserve a ban, Role played fine, kept to myself alot since my character was young and had amnesia(woke up in a librabry with a shovel at 30 years old, what else coudl you call it). The only thing i could think of that could possibly get me banned is if someone misconstrued my dilect for "slang". But in my opinion a dwarf with 2 or 3 intelligence out of 19 would hardly be able to think, talk, or act with much sense.

If i were banned would it tell me or say that i was kicked, ect?
it might just be my modem or my computer acting up, but i dont know

anyone else ever get a black screen and nothing else for no appearant reason?

and on another note it has said that the server is up all day on the website. but it has also steadily said "19 players on" maybe the server is just down and i dont know?

oh *phew!* thank you very much! i was really worried about being banned, this game is awesome and seems to have quiet the exclusive membership policy.
