Please be patient as we get everything working again. Rogean's server that hosted our name server was DDOS'd the last couple of days and he just got it working. We were supposed to have a slave on our server that could have prevented us from being down as well but somehow it got reverted back. I'll try to get it fixed in the next few days.

Good luck, noticed that irc has just come back, woop! Although i'm the only one on there!

where does updates.eq2emulator.net point to? the same place as the site?

Yup. DNS was down so anything *.eq2emulator.net pointed to wouldn't have worked in this case.
