The multiplayer server was down for a couple of days because I'm upgrading the pc it runs on.

Now it's back up (and hopefully more responsive), but you will probably have to re-create your account.

Back up. Hope the lag problems have gone away a bit.

Okay, back up for real this time

new box entirely. Thank my kitten for peeing in the old one >_>

Good; that worked ... I'll pray for your kitten to pee on your videocard, now ....

Pets can some times 'help' us get new computer parts. the dog destroyed the modem and we had to get a new one which is MUCH faster.

Eh... Bugs I can live with, but I never thought I'd have to deal with kitties.

Jokes aside, is the performance any better?

My approach to avoiding that: my cat sleeps on the computer.
You know... they don't pee where they sleep, nor where they eat.

Probably that's why I still have such oldies lying around. I recently reconstructed a P100, haha... well... the external cache needed bypassing, but it still worked besides from that.

And, legend has it, that our school's account server was a 12Mhz XT.
And it worked.
Better than the newer server.
That is... it never overheated - very robust machine

Ehm... micheal, those smileys are hilarious.

It's a noob question I know, but do I have to sign up for an account, and if so, how?

Posted: **Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:56 am**

No, you can also use a guest account.

To sign up for an account, http://spiritplumber.tzo.com/cgi-bin/register.cgi

Right now it's basically a way to try out different ships

No, it was aimed at me. 1 kbps?! Well, either the kitten or the dog didn't do a proper job...

Well it took 15 minutes to load the vega strike forums and now only 2. I thank the Puppy.

That's weird - I'd blame your ISP, not your modem.
Seriously.
No modem downloads that slow.

Telstra is stupid. we should have broudband here ages ago. we live 25 km from the closest exchange that has broadband. they said yes, and when they were about to put it on they said no.

Posted: **Tue Nov 07, 2006 11:22 am**

I'm confused ^^; my throughput is only 1kbps? your modem's is?

if it's a problem on my end, please let me know!

Posted: **Tue Nov 07, 2006 12:36 pm**

Well telstra fixed you the line. Internet little quicker. get older modem. internet little quicker.

***Edit*** i must go to bed.

SOMEBODY SET US UP THE LINE!

Posted: **Wed Nov 08, 2006 1:19 pm**

Oh i forgot to say. the line is now MUCH worse.

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2006 8:08 pm**

Er?

In other news, the server is back up and has been brow-beaten into being somewhat more stable.

Posted: **Sun Nov 26, 2006 7:16 am**

Some fixes....

- no more "eject spam" after the server has been up for a while
- stuff should be slightly faster
- systems are only simulated if there's at least one human in them

So when do we play?
