The DNS changes to the new host take a variable amount of time to propagate depending on your ISP, router, etc. There are various things you can do to try and speed it up like flushing the caches that you have control over, pointing your DNS at Google's servers instead of your ISP (which has already updated), etc. but ultimately it will update by itself.

I can walk you through any of those if you'd like. The easiest is probably pointing at Google's DNS on your router. Failing that, you can always temporarily modify your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts on windows usually) to point at the new IP like so:

192.241.204.23 gateofstorms.net
192.241.204.23 http://www.gateofstorms.net
192.241.204.23 forum.gateofstorms.net
192.241.204.23 games.gateofstorms.net
192.241.204.23 metaserver.gateofstorms.net

Once the new DNS does propagate you'll want to remove those again though.

Let me know if I can help, or you can just wait it out.
