I'll clear up some of the points made in this thread:
1. Is the server down?
Yes. All of our running services excluding forums are currently unavailable.
2. Is it the update?
No. We are aware of the source of these issues.
3. When will we be back up?
Keep an eye on our announcement page. I can't give a time-frame, it will all depend on our available options, the appropriate people have been made aware to resolve the issue.
4. Is there anything I can do to connect to the server?
No.
zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/announcement/id-5 - that's the announcement I just pushed out, it will be updated as soon as more information is available.
Thank you for your patience & concern, hopefully you shouldn't be out of fun for too long.
