MRC moves and restyles again!
For various reasons we decided it was time to pack our bags and move to another host once again. We have now settled down at a fresh, new hosting location and hope it can fullfill our hosting needs for a long period of time to come. As we speak DNS records all over the world are updating their records. It can take up to two days until they are directing all our visitors to the right IP adress.
Today we've added a link to Kandahar's homepage, a web site in Spanish dedicated to King's Valley II.
