1) You aren't banned. If you are, you get a message that tells you so when you try to connect. We use bans pretty sparingly, so this shouldn't be common at all.

2) The MUD isn't down. We've been up for nearly two days. From the time command, right now:

The Carrion Fields started up at Wed Jan 21 12:09:55 2004
The system time is Fri Jan 23 04:37:00 2004

3) You can run into problems if you open multiple sessions at once, for example to generate more than one character. (This isn't legal, but it can happen by accident if a network snafu occurs on your end and not ours.) If you think this is the case, close all connections, hang out for a few minutes, and try again.

4) It looks like you connected OK some time after your post was written, so I guess whatever happened is resolved. Hopefully the above will prevent future problems.
