Congratulations to Aylene (Shaniah) for reaching level 50, once again.. Next stop: Emain Macha ;)

Another new member today: Iambigdk, level 17 Warrior. He's still fairly new to the game I think, so try and help out if you can :)

Zendrik (aka Heboric/Thanos) is also back once again, at least more or less. He doesn't have internet access at home yet, but hopefully that will soon change. Welcome back :)

First of all, I'd like to congratulate Tunfiskemad, went through the Emissary promotion procedure successfully today. He has been promoted to Herald, since he is already over level 40. Good luck on reaching the big 50 mate :)

I'd also like to welcome Idlefire - level 30 Thane straight from Mularn Protectors - to our little guild. Please help him out if you are able to, and make him feel at home :)

Edit: Oh, and I dinged RR5 on Jydan today, go me ;)

Not much news today, but I'd just like to congratulate Keinandil for being promoted to Emissary rank :)

As a reminder to our current Runners: You can find the requirements for promotion here.
If you have any questions or comments about the procedure, don't hesitate to contact me or one of the other officers.

BIG congratulations to Thorarin for dinging 1165 Armorcrafting today, currently the highest skill in Armorcrafting. He might not be the first in Midgard, but he sure is the fist in Tiwaz. Congratulations Mate :)

On another note, a big welcome back to both Skiro and Arcaan (currently known as Mountaintroll). Who both have been dedicating their time to Real Life issues the past months. hope you will enjoy the changes in guild and game. :)

Edit: as of 11:42 CET, the servers seem to be back to normal.

Connection problems to European servers
At the moment you will be unable to connect to the update server or the Camelot Europe website. If your game starts downloading patches, cancel them ASAP as you're being patched to the US version of the game.

If you were patched to the US version by mistake, you need to download one of these archives and unpack the content to your DAoC/SI directory (overwrite existing file). You will need Winzip or similar unless you run Windows XP:
update.dat (Classic)
update.dat (Shrouded Isles)

If you do this properly, you should be patched back to the European version when the servers are reachable again.

To play now (experienced users):
To play while the update server is down, you will need Windows 2000 newer, and create an excalibur.bat in your DAoC directory containing:

game.dll 193.252.123.33 10622 YourGameLogin YourPassword

Save the new file and run it, you should connect directly to Excalibur, circumventing the patch server.
