Primary Multiplayer servers downtime

Monday, April 25 2011 UPDATE: The redirection issue that was causing this appears to be solved now. You should be able to connect to server.wesnoth.org normally again.

The primary Multiplayer server instances for 1.6, 1.8 and 1.9 in Wesnoth.org (server.wesnoth.org) are currently down. We are looking into the issue and will keep you updated in the current status thread in the forums.

Please use the alternate servers (server2.wesnoth.org and server3.wesnoth.org) in the meantime.
