Hi All,

Anyone got the inside scoop on whether The Lordz web site is ever going to return to us? Its been down now for a long long time.

If the site is now gone forever what does this mean for the future of The Lordz themselves? Does the Lordz Modding Collective die with the site?

Just speaking for myself here, I've not discussed this yet with other NWG officials, but if the problem was just one of infrastructure (ie, the web server) then perhaps an interim arrangement can be made to house the LMC here at the NWG?

Comments?? Anyone know anything??

Cheers, Moopere

Not heard anything at all, EXCEPT, bdc did tell me that if I had any new maps (or new corrected versions of maps) to send them to him and he would make an installer.

How great! In the same time, perhaps you could suggest him to sort the maps in alphabetical order?

I'm not planning on doing any with only a few months of ntw2 to go.

Fear not lads, I asked the same question on the Total War Forums and got this response from Meg on the 13th:

"Nope, just the usual once-every-three-months site crash gents. We're not done yet.

Ahhh, good news. It would be a huge loss if the Lordz site went down and stayed down.

Thanks for the update Jakob.

Seems it is again out of action, and has been so for several weeks.......perhaps it's time for the Lordz to find themselves a new site.

The problem of course is that the site now is down more often then its up - this leads to the regular community abandoning the site and it eventually loses its relevance.

A new host would appear to be the right answer, though I don't have any idea how the existing forum could be transferred intact....perhaps it can't which would be a huge loss to everyone.

I think it could be transferred, somebody has first got to be prepared to host it, the database needs copying of course and then the forum files themselves and of course the paths needs changing. If these can be done on that forum then it should be a doddle.

I Believe the Lordz site it pretty much dead. I have been sending emails to the 3 main Lordz, LK, LOM, and LH which none have been responsive to my emails. I am sad that the great LMC which I have been a part of for years is gone with the wind. We can only wait and see what happens next, whether the forum will be back online or not, but in anycase the damage is done, many people will simply stop visiting the forums due to its being unstable.

I don't know much about this, but I "think" that the Lordz is not dead, but "resting".......if the site ever springs back into life OR a new one is formed I do not know.....but I did hear a wisper that "they" were thinking about an Empire "mod"....it would be helpfull to everyone if someone would make an offical post and tell us - but I guess they will do that when their ready and not before.

Well as a Lord my self, I can say officially that serious talk about an Empire mod was never really discussed within the group. Yes there was hints of interest, but no one to lead the team, well what was left of us anyways. But your hope gives me hope gunner that they will come back in the near future like a phenix out of the ashes.

A lot of people would like to see that, but please don't mis-understand me....it was a "wisper"....nothing more.

Well I got very good news, I really hope meg doesn't mind me saying, but the Lordz will be back. Thats all I can say, I will let Meg officially announce the good news when it is ready.
