Unhappy Dom3Minions downtime

After 4 hours and 3 different support people we have replaced some major pieces of my home network (which includes Dom3Minions). This will hopefully (knock on virtual wood) fix the sporadic lags we were getting.

All of the games timers have been reset (Not really a gift, rebooting the server restarted all the timers). Sorry for the inconvenience.

OK 2 more hours and another tech. The phone company was out checking the lines from my house to their main box. And said "*&^% thats crappy wiring. It was rotten." so they replaced it all.

Hopefully that ends the lag times and breaks in connectivity to the Dom3Minions.com server.

For those who feel that they were overly burdened by this, take it as a hint from the cosmos that you are gaming too much.

OK due to a power blink, the Dom3Minions.com server has rebooted. So ALL games have been started with full timers.

After restarting 88 Dom3 games, 2 online worlds, and dozens of services... if this is a problem for you then all I can say is "you get what you paid for". Consider it a punishment or consider it a gift but I am not about to hand massage the times. Sorry about that. (now back to repairs and restarts)
