Can anyone see if they are getting a 'wiki.mabinogiworld.com’s server DNS address could not be found.' coming up when trying to browse the wiki?

If it wasn't really obvious, it's just the wiki that comes up with that, other sites have no problem loading.

    I don't know what or who did cause this, but this thing happened few months ago. Everyone couldn't load it and one guy posted a link of this wiki. I think they might have changed something there that's why it was broken.

    Ah okay, thanks. So basically the wiki.mabi.world/?nxid=10 could be considered a 'back way in' if the site has problems?

    It's working fine for me at the moment, with both links.
    Only the wiki.mabi.world one is working for me. Oh well, least there's an alternate way to get to the wiki.

    Well, the wiki.mabinogiworld.com address is down correctly, which means the site admins caught the glitch.

    Well, there's your problem.
    Though, that doesn't explain why the alternate address worked.

    That's because HTML tags (what allows all of that stuff to work) are currently disabled while they create a workaround to disable something that caused the forums to severely break when malicious idiots tried to destroy them.

    10s of thousands of other forums don't have that problem.
    The new forums software is terrible.

    Unless you actively post on those tens of thousands of forums you can't say that. And it's not software, it's a website. All they did was switch to HTML and there were trolls abusing it.

    "10s of thousands" of forums don't allow simple HTML posts for this reason. It's not that the forum system is awful, it's that some of the people using it are babies who like to break things for the sole purpose of hurting innocent posters. If you want to make a discussion on that, you should make a thread for it.

    The site itself didnt expire, only that one domain name (DNS) that points to it.

    They have a few still working domain names that lead to the same IP address (66.175.218.227) where the wikis and such are hosted such as "wiki.dfo-world.com" and "mabi.world" but only the "mabinogiworld.com" one expired.
