Service breaks on June 16-17?

[Alyais]

Will this not allow us to run our modules as we must first connect to the FG2 server?

[Mellock]

You should be fine if you can give your players your IP instead of the alias. That's the only thing you need the FG server for really.

Like Mellock said the only problem with Smitework's servers being down for running FG is the Alias Server will be offline. This means players will not be able to connect to your FG server using it's alias during the downtime.

Players will still be able to connect to your server by using your external IP address. Thus if you are running a game during the down time you need to be able to send your players your external IP address. If you use a voice server you can do it that way or you may need to send them an e-mail shortly before the game with the IP address. If you don't have a static external IP address, which would be rare for a home, then the address may change everytime you connect - thus you will need to tell your players the address shortly before the game. You can find your external address by going to a site like www.whatsmyip.org
