TL;DR I was wrong. I apologize sincerely for the way that I responded. I agree, let's move on. BUT...I did not catch the typo until this very post. I didn't even catch it when you first posted the log. My brain must have instinctively done that because I never use a lower case and maybe at the time I felt that I got booted because of it. I really didn't know and I really do appreciate you pointing it out for a second time so that I could finally see the error of my ways. I apologize for the misunderstanding and the attitude that I gave you because of it. Having said that, please try to put yourself in my shoes for a second. I come here to report an issue and was greeted with, well what I got. I felt that my original post was ignored and then I felt disregarded. Then I felt disrespected. I was called childish. I was called a hypocrite. I was told to...you get the point. Could I have been a bit cooler about it in my first and second post? Yes. I apologize again for that. But if that's all it takes for you and the community to come down on someone then well I guess I'm just not a good fit for these parts. This doesn't change my opinion of the game what so ever and it won't affect my playtime. I just felt that I got a lot worse than I had given to begin with when all I was doing was trying to help. I only registered on the boards after hundreds of hours playing to report the issue and yet even that comes with negative connotation and assumptions of intent that I was not aware of. Once again. Sorry. And I re-iterate...this wasn't about the free copy and I will still do as I stated in a previous post in regards to giving a copy away with high remarks. PEACE OH, and please feel free to respond or not as I'll abide like The Dude and end this discussion.

Fair enough. This wasn't about what I wanted. I came to help and was shown disrespect instead. If you think that anything that I said prior to being disrespected deserved such a response then so-be-it. The irony of someone telling me that my skin is too thin when they take anything I said so dramatically. I'm sorry that I have offended. I will fade back into the ether where I came. Oh, and thanks for the backhanded slap in your previous post. It was taken as disrespect but then again what do I know. At least you eventually had the courage to put your money where your mouth was. Good job. No need to respond as I am out.

I'm certainly not trying to throw a fit but I posted in this thread about an issue that was ignored. Then I posted again in response to something you posted about the servers being full. Your 1st response to me tried to put the blame on Steam AND on me all at the same time. Your 2nd response to me was to further place blame onto me. You weren't interested in getting to the bottom of the issue (hell, I'll except responsibility and even apologize for being upset if the case turns out that way). You we're only interested in blaming others, including someone just trying to help you, instead. Of course I got upset and threw a minor "fit" as you say. Who wouldn't when shown such disrespect? [28-06-17 16:02:22] 76561198009840849 "Biofringe" removed connection index=31. No idea what that means. Here's how it started... I set the server up as described in my last post and attempted to connect. It showed that I passed Steam Verify but after that it just hung with Server Not Responding. I hit the button to join and again that that's when that message started. At that time I had no idea about Steam's server limits (though I wonder how Planetside does it) and I didn't know about automatic failed attempts after the first. I did not change anything as far as I can remember and I think I kept hitting the same button everything the message came up. You assumed that I would have known about Steam's policies on servers and would have even looked at the server list (I didn't). I simply tried to connect via the Join button in the game after having loaded the game as usual via Steam. All of this of course might have been useful info for you but you didn't care. Shame really. The other thing that I was hoping to get out of this (since you asked) was some sort of acknowledgement that some of this info could have been provided prior to alleviate such frustrations. Please Note: There's a server limit of blah, blah, blah so come quick! And the Time zone info is just nuts. List GMT and let everyone figure it out for themselves. Maybe include a link to a converter for easy. Instead you listed multiple time zones and even had to correct a time at least once as far as I can tell. This stuff confuses people and I thought that you might appreciate the insight. But again, I was wrong. Sorry that I tried to help. I've probably spent more time on this test today than nearly any of the other 100+ participants but of course you won't appreciate that either. Assumptions are fun.

Considering that this was a test run of a MP server for you all one might assume that you might be interested in knowing exactly how this happened so that you could avoid it happening to others in the furture. Apparently I was wrong. You'd rather assume user error and move on. Ok then. FWIW: 1 account used...all info copy and pasted from this thread except for my user name and password. Also, I'm not your Dude. That's no way to speak to anyone with any sort of respect so I'll go ahead and take it for what it's worth. And to show that none of this is about the free copy I'll go ahead and purchase my 3rd copy and give it away during my next video where I'll speak highly about the game. Peace. Dude.

I posted the message a couple of posts ago and it does in fact say as such but of course I'd expect you to blame the user instead. Whatever. I really don't care. I hope you all got some good date mined from me trying to join every minute for 15 minutes straight (in various manners). The server info stated 100/100 players. Nowhere did it state ???/127. Also, if there's a cap you should have mentioned that in the OP. Words matter still don't they?

I suspect we can't connect because you're server is FULL. Why use the word "Everyone" in the OP if you meant "The 1st 100" as it's just confusing and for the first time I'm now sour over this game which is a shame. I should have stuck to playing instead of trying to help. Lesson learned I guess. Peace.

Is this working? I've been trying since 3pm EST (I think that's the right time frame) but it keeps failing to connect or returning info that it can't create any more accounts for this client. Anyone else having these issues? EDIT: Nevermind. I see now that they have a 100 person limit that they reached. It would have been nice to know so that I didn't waste my time taking the afternoon off of work to help only to find that it's for not. Also, all the time conversions are confusing. I couldn't really tell when the server opened up so I guess it's my fault for waiting til when the 1 hour window started as opposed to seemingly being able to log in an hour earlier, if that's correct as I can't really tell with all the different time zones expressed in the OP and throughout this thread. Blah. Back to playing by myself I guess. Have fun.
