Ysgard (and Hala) has been upgraded to allow logins while the master server is unavailable. Players will now need to set and use an Ysgard password before they can play. You will need 1 password per GSID you use. When you now log in you will be told you have 60 seconds to enter a valid password. The first time you should set the password using the following command:
!pwset yourpassword yourpassword
Note: You will need to type your password twice.
On all subsequent logins with that GSID you can enter the password with the command:
!pw yourpassword
Note the ! before the commands. This is a simtool command so remember to type it correctly. No one else will be able to overhear your password if you do this.
You can change your password at any time with the !pwset command.
Specialist subject? The Bleeding Obvious
Basic password security suggests you use a unique password that you don't use for other logins. While passwords are scrambled recent events have shown no system is 100% secure so use common sense.
Logging in as someone else: DON'T. The system logs all connections to the server (even if they actually don't log in as a player) and anyone who tries to log in under someone else's GSID will be banned.

It is possible to portal from and to Avlis provided you have completed PJs registration system and know you can log in there.
