Back from Japan and having issues with the game

So, I haven't actually played in like three years, but I have logged in from time to time from japan, Just to see if this game was alive. Now back in the states and trying to log in and all I am getting is Server is closed. Looking around the forums doesn't seem to give any information of anything going on with the server. Just curious did the game finally close down or what. From what I gleamed whenever I logged in from Japan. Not much has changed with the game.
