Dead. I'd hoped to get a lot more mileage out of him, but that's EFU.

INAP also tells us it will be doing an almost identical maintenance event on a different router the next night, from 10pm to 2am EDT again. The same impact may be felt from the second maintenance.

QuoteKURGIN-SHALE’S BLOOD AND WIND[/hide]
BEFORE HE WAS ONE, A DWARF WAS ONCE TWO.
ONE WORE RED, THE OTHER BLUE.
KURGIN WAS HEARTY, AND SHALE SULLEN,
BOTH WERE FIT TO BRING ABERRANTS TO CULLING.
BUT ONE RITE CAME, AND BROUGHT THE REST OF US TO KNEES.
BATTLE OF THE UNMAKING ENSUED AND KURGIN-SHALE SUCCEEDS.
LET KURGIN AND SHALE’S EPIC BE KNOWN TO MANY A LUTE,
AND THEIR STRENGTH FORETOLD AT THE TEMPERED MOOT.
KURGIN AND SHALE SHARED A MORTAL COIL.
THEY HAD INNER STRIFE FOR WHO WOULD WALK SOIL.
BUT OUR JARL HAD A PERFECT MITHRIL MIRROR,
OF WHICH MIGHT ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK CLEARER.
A GATHERING WAS CALLED, FOR KURGIN-SHALE KNEW NOT THE DANGER.
TEMPERED NUMBERED MANY, ALL LENDING THEIR STRENGTH.
WE GATHERED ON THE EARTHEN CIRCLE, AT THE RIVER BANK.
FEET STOMPED IN RHYTHM, AND SHIELDS BANGED WITH MIGHT.
GAVE OUR ENERGY AS THE RITUAL MAGICKS GREW BRIGHT.
PORTALS CONJURED, AND ELEMENTALS IT FURNISHED.
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE UNMAKING!
WE GREETED THEM WITH SKIRMISH.
WATER BEAT AGAINST FIRE, AND FIRE AGAINST THUNDER.
HERALDS OF THE NEW WORLD MADE TEMPERED SUNDER.
WHEN THE ELEMENTS SUBSIDED IN BUT A FLASH,
LEAVING WHIMPERING EMBERS AND FELLED KINSMEN,
KURGIN-SHALE AND AN ICEN GOLEM MADE A CLASH.
THEY FOUGHT OVER TEMPERED BODIES ON THEIR LAST BREATH.
THE MORTAL WOUND MAY YET CRY BLOOD IN THEIR DEATHS.
BUT KURGIN AND SHALE CONJOINED, AND CHIPPED STONE.
IT WAS THE TRUEST STRIKE DWARVAN BLADESMANSHIP EVER KNOWN.
DEFEATED, WORLDSTONE’S CREATION SAW THE TEST COMPLETE.
WHERE OUR JARL AND THANE FELL, AND MORE DWARVES BLED,
KURGIN AND SHALE TAMED THE ELEMENTS, AND SAW THEM BEAT.
THROUGH NEW EYES, KURGIN AND SHALE LOOKED UPON FRIENDS.
HIS SIGHT GLEW WITH RAW POWER, AND SPOKE WITHOUT COWER;
WE ARE KURGINSHALE HE ACCLAIMED.
BLESSED BY ICE AND FLAMES.
