Yeah.

Wish there was some way to know whether your character was linkdead or whether the game went down once yet.

A router near ginka must be on the blink (or ginka itself is on the blink) as I disconnected (thinking my net connection died), tried to reconnect, couldn't. Tried to go to the website, couldn't. I was able to get through briefly, but was too busy seeing if the website was up to notice, and so timed out.

So yeah, be patient. It's not just you, it's everyone.

Kinda makes me feel bad for rebooting my CPU three times thinking that would fix it.

I figure the system is probably not helped by masses of people all spamming reconnect at once, either :P

well, yeah, but...my internet connection will go away in exactly four minutes, and i'd rather not sit linkdead someplace sketchy until it comes back at 5pm tomorrow...

General rule.  You try to log in and you get kicked out right away then the game is down and the server and network are up.  If it takes a long time to timeout, either the network is wonky or the server is down.

This time it is most likely the network as I am connecting but getting massive packet loss.  Our characters are probably running around as we speak.

Arm is still running and didn't crash.  I actually got connected back for a moment but couldn't issue commands.

So weird... I can see the mantis head, but it won't let me past the "welcome to Armageddon!" page. Anyone else have this?

Feck..now all I want to do is find a quit safe room and log out properly.  I really don't want to leave my character out in the open for any theif looking to twink his skills on a link-dead player, who got this way through NO FAULT OF HIS OWN!! :evil:

Quotefor any thif looking to twink his skills

You have nothing to worry about.












Skill timers will prevent him from twinking his skills too much.

Yeah, you should always check to see if you can connect to the website, and then try google.com or something. Compare the speeds, if ginka is much slower then normal and google's fine, the fault isn't on your end.

I've discovered a cheat for times like this, and only times like this. It works for me, at any rate.

If I can connect but can't enter commands or input after I am connected, lagging out, I stack the commands I'll need to use. For instance: c/Venomz/Nutz/e/e/put stone pack/cl pack/w/quit/x.

Now, obviously, this is extremely bad form. However, when connection problems abound and you can't play anyway, I don't feel like this is bad in any way whatsoever.

By the way, that's not my account name, so no, you can't play my elite sorcerer.
