Hi everyone,
Thanks for your patience and understanding while we've been burning the midnight oil getting Planet M.U.L.E. back up for you. We experienced a severe server issue which you can read more about here:
http://www.planetmule.com/please-bear-with-us/. We're hoping we've now caught most of, if not all of the problems created by the crash, but please let us know should you experience any issues. Please also note that per the post referenced above, you may experience data related issues with your gaming history until you log into a game and re-establish the species you were using previously, if need be.
