Most of the DNS look up tools are reporting error and show only NS3 and NS4.

Maybe there is something wrong with the settings of the new NS server?
I use googles DNS always and I did not have problem, not even at the Iphone, but many people are still unable to log.
Anything we can do to help?

Unfortunately not. There's not even anything I can do at this time, just have to wait for the zone to be transferred and updated.

Chrome gives me this use cached copy option. Works it seems. With that I can acces site. Keeps going down in firefox ad explorer after a while.

I just read about this Spam attack.

Maybe this is somehow related with the slowness of the servers to propagate DNS?

If you don't want to change your DNS to other provider you can go to:
Quote
X:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc   (X:\ being your hard drive where windows folder is located, open the file called hosts with Notepad and add this at the bottom, save and overwrite current one:
178.77.77.28 battlemaster.org forum.battlemaster.org bugs.battlemaster.org wiki.battlemaster.org maps.battlemaster.org  If your hosts file is set to Read-Only just right click it>properties and uncheck Read-Only.

Tom or anybody who can help me out here.

Will our character autopauses, lose titles etc when we cannot login Battlemaster due to DNS issue? 1 week of DNS update will cause this, it is a good question that somebody raise up on Facebook Battlemaster.

Thank you in advance :)

Just download chrome and use the cashed copy of the webpage. They give you that option when you first fail to conect.
I couldnţt acces forums before trying this.

How long will this go on? A week? A month? :o

It's not about the BM site. It's about your ISP or something else on your side. I haven't had to apply any of the fixes mentioned here, and it I can access the site just fine. It was only out for half a day.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

It should not have lasted more than a day.

The worst case is probably a week.

I don't have any problem. I didn't even know we were having this problem until people were talking about it on IRC.

What I am worried about is new people quitting due to this DNS problem :( We've been getting some new active people recently and this may make them quit the game.

I am rather sure you are right. Not much can be done about it at this point though.

Well, we could mass-mail the e-mail address associated with all active BattleMaster accounts with an explanation of the problem. That's a Tom thing, though.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

This is a good idea.
