Cant Connect to Server, and web maintanence offer

[spyke01]

I dowloaded the bin file from filecloud and updated, ive already registered an account, but when i run the program, it says that its failed to connect to the server. I disabled firestarter, and my router isnt running a firewall. And still no go.

Ive noticed lots of talk about the homepage not having the right download files, but have been unable to find alternative downloads. Ive also seen that the server went down on the 26th, but i didnt know if its still down.

On a side note, i saw where an admin said that they didnt havce alot of time to update the website, so id like to offer my services. I run a web hosting and design company, and use MySQL and PHP daily to program several sites and programs.

The server is still down for updates, and the ETA is either tomorrow or the next day. If you'd like to help out with site maintenance, your best bet is to discuss this with Talad - you can try sending him an email, catching him on IRC, or sending an application to the team through the "Help Us" section of the website

If you have some sample webpages to look at that would be cool as well.

so, if im right.. the server is currntly down and will be back today or tomorrow..?

And what is this ETA?

And do I have to do anything special to play? (i downloaded all, registered, but when i open PS, it saids server failure) So when the update is done, i need to download additionalm stuff?

*still a nooby*

sorry for the stupid questions..

ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival Once the new client is available, you'll either want to redownload the entire thing again, or wait a few more days for the game updater to have the new files for you to update to.

[Doc. Halloween]

okay, and what do I do for this 'new client' thing?

[Karyuu]

I thought I said that already.. Once the new client is available, you will either have to redownload the entire package or wait a few days more for the game updater to be available, so you can just run it and get the new files you need. Wait for the release. That is all you can do right now.

[Doc. Halloween]

yes, but i mean, redowload the whole package, u mean the 267Mb thing? or something else.. cos thats what i actually needed to know

[feather]

glad to know it's going to be up soon, I am looking forward to trying this game.

[Tarel]

yes, but i mean, redowload the whole package, u mean the 267Mb thing? or something else.. cos thats what i actually needed to know

Yes, you will need to download the complete package again.
Each new update/download provides unique files, that can't be used in another version.
You're version 14B is outdated and requires new files for version 15, to get it up and running.

What they mean is that if you wait one day tommorrow maybe the whole new server can be downloaded or you could wait a couple of days and just use the updater to download the 3.015 update. For me it would be easier to download the whole new server which might come out tommorrow or the day after as i said above.

This is a perfect oppertunity to create the background of your character Doc
If your not sure what i mean, read the Introduce your character thread, or some it the story writing area.
Welcome to PS and hope you have fun
