Joining to fast.

[Scourn]

Just a friendly reminder and asking people who dont to please. When the server crashes/has to restart, please dont join until the ping is under 100. Give it time to get settled and loaded. Rushing in the second it pops back has been known to crash it right again, thanks

[Lothoir]

Is there any way to have a script that puts a password on the server for the first few minutes it's onlineto load, then removes it once everything is fine and dandy?

[Saulus]

Nope.

*puts his hands behind his head and patiently waits until the ping lowers*

[undeadsteak]

Seriously, the direct connectors kill the server...

[Machiavelli]

please dont join until the ping is under 100.

Um... I'll see you all in another life then

[Venture]

this goes back to nwn1, I mean come on people!! eh, I might be guilty too.

[Soulbadguy]

Yeah.. Im the only one who can rush the server after it crashes.. I got the .. " Rush server for free card". Thats because I powerlevel so I hafta get in first to find the good dungeons with all the good loot.

This is how we are told to connect in the FAQ

[Rhazeal]

Aye, that's because we don't want you to know there's other servers out there

[undeadsteak]

Lol. The direct connecters dont know when the server is down or not, they keep rushing into it, causing it to go poof.

[GodBeastX]

That's not why it's crashing. Rushing just makes it load slower for the most part.

[sparkeh]

If the actual staff had a problem with the way people connected I'm sure they would let us know.

[undeadsteak]

Yup, but it makes it load slower, as GBX said. I dont see whats bad about connecting through the other way.

Nothing bad about it. My point is that new players will read the Bioware blog post or the FAQs and use direct connect. Its not their fault. If you think that it is an issue direct it at the staff (who will then might consider changing their preferred method of connecting), not the players.
