Apparently the Flash chat just isn't nice on servers at all -- very non-optimized code. So, I am faced with 2 options:

1. Get a dedicated server.
2. Find another piece of chat software and use it.

1 is quicker, 2 is cheaper. I'm pricing out just how much option 1 is right now.

Currently, the chat is working. My hosts will probably turn it back off soon though, so right now I'm looking for a temporary chat solution.

All right, we're on a dedicated server now. Huzzah!!! What this means is that I never ever have to worry about my host shutting me down for "excessive usage" or any other such nonsense.

This switch will take a while to filter through the Internet (up to 24 hours), but people in the US should experience it sooner. Actually if you're reading this message at all, it means that you're seeing the new server. Congrats to you.

As far as possible issues, characters you've created in the last 24 hours as of this posting (and edits to character sheets), have probably been lost. If you signed up with a new account in the past 24 hours, it's likely been lost. My sincere apologies for this.
