Irrev's server is gone indefinitely.
What Provocating said.
He was hacked, badly enough that he didn't bother to rebuild or even make any sort of announcement. He half-heartedly offered to sell his hardware and database changes on his forums before those were taken down, but that was mainly because he was so angry at seeing years of his hard work ruined.
The escalating drama behind the scenes there too did not help matters either, and suitable developers never emerged to pick up the slack, nor even a good GM replacement for Irrelevant, after he finished his studies.

My wife and family (later) played there for many years, and were there right at the beginning, and then at the end, so we all especially miss it, and have lost touch with Don now altogether.

There really is no substitute, but the new breed of solo/duo servers coming up are all worth a look, to see if they fit your personal preferences and playstyles. There are only a few to choose from at the moment, and they each have strengths and weaknesses.
Prop's to Irrev and to Djeryv (name from the past) for all their efforts.
Both are sorely missed around here.
