I get this when I do a command line lookup:

]$ nslookup www.manticgames.com
Server: 72.14.179.5
Address: 72.14.179.5#53

** server can't find www.manticgames.com: NXDOMAIN

Same here, probably maintenance,

Domain Information
===================
Domain.......: MANTICGAMES.COM (DOM-272691)
Status.......: CLIENT_HOLD
Amended......: 2014-04-04 15:17:26 (CET/CEST)
Created......: 2009-03-20 09:49:43 (CET/CEST)
Expires......: 2015-03-20 09:49:43 (CET/CEST)
Registrar....: Active 24 (REG-1)
DNSSec.......: No


Status......: CLIENT_HOLD means it expired. Someone over there fethed up.

Doesn't it show that it expires 2015 from what you sent? I mean, that does mean someone screwed up...but it doesn't mean they did, does it? I mean, just going from what's there-I'm not even close to an expert on domain information.

CLIENT_HOLD can mean several things. Here's what the official ICANN document says:

This status code tells your domain’s registry to not include your domain in the zone file and as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, nonpayment, or when your domain is subject to deletion.

https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/transfers/epp-status-codes-30jun11-en.pdf

The Expires date of next year might mean they have that long to renew before it's made available to the public again.

So I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but it can't be good for Mantic to be down just when they've got the new Battlezone release.

I hope they can get this resolved quickly.

It's back up.
