So let me understand what your saying.. you saw me post while working on your server. You wanted me to respond so we could converse while you were working on your server. You say you could have fixed this days ago and not let it drag on this long but you were ignoring me... and working on your server. And now im selfish for not msg'ing you and taking your time while you were working on your server. Do I have all that correct? That you saw the issue and knew how to fix it but remained silent disregarding me and then getting upset that I didn't take your time in the first place to fix the issue while you were trying to upgrade your server...
Is this how you handle everything? Lets apply your logic from this problem to a possible problem in the game..Someone finds a bug or something on your server.. like lets say I figure out how to dupe items.. I try and report it on the help channel. You are going to see the post and ignore it and let me do it for days showing everyone while letting everyone see me spam help chat. Then after about 3 days of duping and spamming help your going to get mad and say I should have pm'd you in the first place and you knew all about it and say "if you mention it again I wont fix this bug"..
1) Fix your server. Its busted.
2) Fix your smug attitude. Admin that cant help anyone aint worth much as admin. And refusing to out of pride is just stupid.
Oh and Zothion, nothing is "wrong" with my connection as I have been able to log on many of the other servers with no issues at all. So if 99 work... and 1 doesn't.. I doubt the 99 are wrong. But its nice you and your "Team" are saying all these other servers are screwed up and yours is the ONLY one doing it right..
Please, if you don't understand routing or how data travels between you and the server, don't talk...
Just because you can connect to every other server except this, doesn't mean it's impossible for the problem to be with your ISP.
For example, when you connect to this server data towards the server through many different nodes (cable ends, they forward your data onto next cable). The last node when you connect to a server, is most likely the only node that can send data to the host, which means every single player goes through that last node, which ill call node 1. For example, node 1 and the server may be in france. When a person from north of france tries to connect, he will connect via the north cable to node 1, if you're south of it you will connect via the south cable, or if you're from the usa, you will connect from the west (via trans atlantic cable and some more nodes). What this means, is that if the cable connect south of france to node 1 gets cut, noone from there can access node 1 anymore. The people in the us and north of france has no problems connecting to it at all.
What happened for you and your friends is that somewhere along the way, you all pass through 1 specific node that had a problem, which means that none of you can get past that to the server. But you can all still connect to every other server because they aren't at the same host, which means you might not travel through that specific node, so the problem won't be there.
If you have trouble connecting to something, do a traceroute to your destination, and check where it stops. Make your friends with the same problem do it aswell. Most likely the node where you all stop getting signals back will be the same for all of you, or some of you. (some nodes do not ping back, but still sends your information past it, so certain nodes may seem like they're unresponsive but you actually get replies from nodes after it, which is no error. The problem is if nothing replies back.)
Google internet routing and educate yourself, thanks.
