its still active, just not 24/7-visited anymore like back in good old days.
please be patient, joeyz isnt around here anymore, and mobster and paintball (now BaronVonRotterdam)
who could fix that will sure look into that but it might need some days, its hollyday-time i guess, so
i dont know if they have time atm.
btw, you cant join because you recieve the message that you were banned, or you didnt try yet
because you assume you were banned?
i ask because the "first" ban normally is a "1-week-to-calm-down-ban"
(for example if you did something stupid while beeing angry
and pi$$ed off an admin),
that might be lifted long time ago.
also, is it "our" ban or global ban from ut2k4-main-server? if its the last i think we cant do anything.
anyways, many other players downloaded ut2k4 from steam and got there new (cheap?) "cd-key",
worst case you need to try that too...
oh and in case your account is still here, you might need your old user.ini, too
(because of your statsname, statspassword and playername, if you dont have that and you dont want to
wait some weeks till you "spectated" (cause allways beeing killed as low level) to your current level,
you need the next step and go to level recovery topic ;-)
