The Domain ryzom.com is Gone!

[eadwig1]

Well I am having to post this by going through forums.ryzom.fr, because
ryzom.com is unreachable. A quick whois search brought up this:


Domain Name: RYZOM.COM
Registrar: GANDI SAS
Whois Server: whois.gandi.net
Referral URL: http://www.gandi.net
Name Server: NS1.GFSRV.NET
Name Server: NS2.GFSRV.NET
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 18-jan-2007
Creation Date: 08-nov-1999
Expiration Date: 08-nov-2007

Not much more to say after this.

Peace, Love, Hope

That does not mean much, really. All it says is that the domain registration expired yesterday.
Usually, you pay for another year when your registration runs out, which Gameforge France obviously is not doing as they are dysfunct.

The normal procedure is to take the domain off the DNS shortly after, and after a month or two, free the domain (I forgot the exact time, but it's something like that). That's the moment when the Chinese domain vultures start spamming the registration servers with big farms of hijacked computers, hoping to grab an expired domain which they can resell for 1-2k later.
This has happened to companies ten times the size of former GF France, and it is no tragedy really... the righteous owner or his successor can always get the domain back within another grace period (which again, is someting like 1-2 months).

Hi its Faw, from Aniro
Fortunately, forums are on another domain : ryzom.fr

How many time should (would ? sorry for my english !) this domain be up ?

anniversary: 15/11
created: 15/11/2004
last-update: 19/01/2007
ident-date: 16/11/2004

cause the .de might be deleted as well sometime soon, and that doesn't solve the problem for the Kleints (still u could enter the ip adress there) and the IGTicket System
