Welcome to PlaneShift :)

Make sure that if you are running a firewall or router, you have UDP port 7777 enabled for server \"Laanx\". Have you tried logging in several times? Sometimes that message pops up but lets you through eventually. The server is definitely available right now.

Are you using the latest 0.3.013 client, and have you run the updater?

The updater won\'t work (can\'t connect to the server). An I suppose I am using the newest version, considering I downloaded it 1.5 hours ago. This game seems fun, and I would like to play. Are there any other servers or anything?

There is only one server at the moment. What OS are you using, and you\'re absolutely sure that there is no longer any router/firewall that is blocking access? This definitely seems like that sort of problem. Otherwise, I\'m out of ideas and someone else will come along and help out :)

I take it you changed data/servers.xml to point to your router?...

In your PS dir, in data, there is a servers.xml file which contains the servers listed at startup.  If you\'re tunneling on your router, that file needs to be considering your router to be \"the server\".  Change the IP listed to it\'s and use the port it\'s forwarding to.

Yeah, I was replying while you posted.

You\'ll need to setup the updater to find your HTTP proxy.  Edit the updaterconfig.xml file. Read the stcky.

What exactly do I change? how do I find out what my proxy is (I am a noob to networks, but a wiz a comps.)
