Is the server offline or something?

Every time i start it up i get the "server must be going through a check or is offline" message, i've never been on the server before btw.

yes it is

IDK i keep getting the same message as you. I really hope it comes back online soon cause i hate regular ms grinding and all the good servers either are:
a. missing many pieces (this one has a few missing pieces)
b. extremely laggy (rarely on this server)
c. have extremely complex and well done npcs/features that make you want to play on the server but end up having rates at less than 200
d. hamachi

and i think for overall this server ranks probably top. please help us fix the message or put the server online again

Just wait. Draco is trying to get it up.
