A possible solution to the Verification Mail problem
« on: January 27, 2008, 02:57:09 pm »
Hello! This is my first post on these forums and i hope i will not start with the wrong foot!

I have not yet played this seemingly wonderfull game , obviously due to the Verification Mail Problem which i will ,from now on , call VMP!
I have tried everything to the point of feeling that its only my problem. I have created 4 accounts with all the possible e-mails i had (for which i feel very bad about) and nothing.
I even tried the temporary mail service , mentioned at a point. Alas nothing has happened. Im so close yet so far away from this game due to a silly automated system miscooperation. I dont know if its the sending server's problem or if the email providers are to blame but i dont really care , i just want to play :D

Anyway to the solution at hand , even though i think few people enter this specific part of the forum , I would like to ask ALREADY REGISTERED members to post what email providers did they use and it did not bug.

I have used
Yahoo,
Hotmail,
Windowslive and
Yopmail


and none has worked so far. What have you used and has bugged?
And most importantly what have you used and did not bug?

Thx for your time and Happy to meet you!

My guess is that there really is something wrong with the account creation. I created an account last week and got a verification message in windows. This was for an email adress at my dutch ISP. I just created new accounts using a gmail email and one with the same dutch ISP, and have not yet received the email. LAst week it came much faster. Can someone check the account creation?

that would be ACraig, but he hasn't been around for about a week now.  guess you'll just have to wait until he gets back, or if there's another high ranking dev with access to it, and they get a chance to look into it.

Yes but as it is we dont know who to pm for that , as new members of the forums we cant even pm , so what does a global mod suggest the masses who want the Planeshift experience :P

Should we create a post where we give our acc inf so we can get activated manually?

Hmm i hope you dont think of me as someone who is trying to farm posts , and i know that you have already kinda suggested what to do
BUT: giving us the names of OTHER devs with access to it ( if you are aware of any1 of course ) and suggesting a way to communicate with them (dont forget , new forum members cant send pms) would be lovely :D

Again thanx for your time and rapidity of answers

EDIT: although i guess if we had their e-mails it could work that way

nope, only person other than acraig i could maybe seeing as having access to it would be Talad, but he's pretty busy himself. 

there's always email to them, or hopping on IRC and seeing if any dev is on that is able to help.

if not, then
