Chaos Storm #870 has swept the Lok'Groton island chain. Please post any changes you have observed and wish to share with others in the comments. If you don't want to read possible spoilers, please do not read any further!
See below for important server address information.
Delta Tao's "What's New" for v870:
7/30/2014 v870
I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed. — George Carlin (1937–2008)
* The Clan Lord server’s address has changed (or soon will), from server.clanlord.com to server.deltatao.com. We don’t yet know if this is a permanent relocation, or just a temporary change of scenery. For more info on this issue, please consult this Sentinel post.
* The v870 Mac client will automatically make the change for you; you don’t have to do anything.
* However if you’re still using the v867 Mac client — e.g. before it’s had a chance to auto-update itself to v870 — and if the “clanlord.com” address has already stopped working, so that you get error messages along the lines of “Failed to find server at ‘server.clanlord.com’", then you’ll need to perform a one-time repair, as follows:
1. Select the Clan Lord > Preferences... menu command.
2. Click the Setup Proxy... button.
3. Turn on the “Use a Proxy Server” checkbox.
4. In the Proxy Address field, enter this text:
server.deltatao.com:5010
5. Click OK to exit the Proxy Server dialog.
6. Click OK again, to exit the Preferences dialog.
7. Join the game, as normal.
Your v867 client will then update itself to v870. You won’t need to revert the “Use a Proxy Server” setting, since the new client recognizes the “deltatao.com” address as the standard one.
* We’re a little bit uncertain about how the Windows client will fare. Hopefully it should work seamlessly; but if you have trouble connecting, go to Options > Settings... > Advanced, and turn on the “Use server[:port]” checkbox. Enter server.deltatao.com into the associated field.
* From the “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?” Department: work continues on at least one project, but that’s all I’m allowed to say about that.
