The Portal to Arkaz from Ysgard is currently not working. A test of the portal on our side shows that the problem may be on Hala's side of the connection. We recently updated our Domain name from Server.Arkaz.com to Server.Arkaz.org, and it may be related to that.
Likewise for me just now with Garthond - Ysgard is not responding, timed out, when I try to direct connect via nwn.ysgard.org or the alternate one from Themicles I posted elsewhere.
Portaling from Avlis to Ysgard failed. Tried to direct connect after the failure, but it can't. Says it find the server and just hangs there indefinitely.
This seems to be a case of sporadic internet disconnections rather than the servers going down. Its most likely weather related, so please be patient when it happens. The connection is back now anyway, and the servers have been kicked again. The Iron/Ysgard portal has been tested and is working both ways.
Didn't manage to portal from Sigil (Ysgard) to going "sploosh" (Iron). Tried a couple of times and got the "hold on" message, then exited to check Iron was online (it was), and then tried a third time without luck. Arkaz servers had become greyed out in my history and I had needed to do the direct connects again to see them, but that probably irrelevant.
(Poor Jayem. He'd rather have gone to Nuvar to see people than gone back to Heidabyr and that anvil.)

Our IP address for Arkaz changed sometime in the middle of the night last night. Terry has updated our Mask server.arkaz.org but the DNS servers out there have not updated yet to allow portaling from Hala to Arkaz.
Our new IP for Direct Connect is: 173.78.236.46:5121/5122/5123
If you are on Arkaz, you should be able to portal back.
