    Elvas Tower not working?

    Hi all,

    Does anyone know why Elvas Tower isn't letting anyone connect to the site? I was having some connection issues yesterday and now it won't let me even onto the splash page.

    Are they doing site updates?

        I was unable to connect for one week -- I regained access yesterday. Contact Aldarion who runs the site

          Not sure if this'll point in the right direction but the message it keeps giving me is that the connection timed out trying to get to the website.

          It was fine two days ago but kept stalling before giving a 'this page couldn't be loaded' message by my browser.

            Make sure you are going to https://www.elvastower.com

            They may have disabled http.

              Using Proton, I was able to access the website but disabling it and trying natively without a VPN resulted in the same 'connection timed out' error.

              EDIT: It also just did this whilst on Proton after I tried going to another page 'too fast'?

                  Start a conversation with Dave, Genma Saotome, describe your problem accessing the site and wait for a response. For almost a month, I could only visit the site using a VPN until Dave unlocked my IP address.

                    Dave is no longer the owner at Elvas -- he retired.

                    I had a moderator check and your IP address seems to be the same that's been used since registering. Contact "Aldarion" (same user name at both sites) by private message either here or at Elvas for assistance.

                              There is no problem on the server, and I am not aware that dave has added any blocks lately.

                              Were the connection issues yesterday just with ET?
