Locked Servers

[Volvagia70364]

Just wondering, why are some servers locked, and how do the "locked" ones get people to log on.

More to the point, how do I get on a locked server. :D

[Bearik]

They are locked so people cant get on them..

[Volvagia70364]

But my point is that some people DO get on them so they can't be locked in the traditional sense.....when I saw that I took it as meaning that the servers were restricted, not blocked off.

[devn00b]

To get on a locked server you must have 100?+ status on that server.

[Volvagia70364]

So basically to get in on a locked server you have to get flagged by the admin, right?

[Bearik]

Yep

[Volvagia70364]

K got it, thanks for the help. I'm new to all this but I am learning the ropes fast.

[aendaar]

haha volvagia i told you but noooo couldnt listen cause im volvagia and i cant trust people younger than me :x

[Volvagia70364]

Its called confirmation, it means asking other people instead of taking the word of a 13 year old who routinely surfs Kazaa for porn and is public about it....

But I see, you were right. I never should have took it for granted that you didn't know, and your experiance with other forms of servers reigned higher than those who have been working with EQEMu.

[aendaar]

among other things :evil:

[mattmeck]

Is noisy?

[DataMan4971]

This kind of drifted off subject here, and by the way, Vol(demort :twisted: ) why would you care if he looked at porn or not, though he is under age :? , real life concerns have no place in this world.

As I read in a book, "Pride has no place on this island".

Glad I dont live on that island.

[aendaar]

voldemort...LOL thats really funny cause his IRL nickname is harry potter

[Volvagia70364]

Yeah it did drift off topic but the topic was over anyway, till it was continued by aendaar.


why would you care if he looked at porn or not, though he is under age , real life concerns have no place in this world.


I don't care he if looked at porn or not, and real life concerns do very much have a place in this "world"....you just posted on a board asking for help because a real world loss of funding is putting this virtual world in possible jeopardy. I understand what you mean though, as this is a form of "escape" from the real world.
Anyway, my point in that post was not to say that because it had any relevance here in itself, but to show credentials of his credability (which WAS the issue) and that I was not to completely take his word as law and not confirm it with people I knew would know the answer for sure.


one word...anus



voldemort...LOL thats really funny cause his IRL nickname is harry potter.


Anus.....LOL thats really funny cause cause IRL he lives in Denison, Texas, the rectum of the second largest state of the US. (Imagine the spoor laying around there, or better yet, don't imagine it, just look at Aendaar.)

[mattmeck]

IRL he lives in Denison, Texas, the rectum of the second largest state of the US.

I beg to differ.....Killeen Texas is the rectum, Denison may be a zit near it but defenetly isnt the anus.

[aendaar]

now before i curse this board and never look at it again..i would like to say that being open about looking at porn..how the hell does that hurt credibility? oh no i look at naked women, i surely cannot be trusted because i do what 95% of most straight guys do.
as for being 13, im fourteen..get your damn facts straight..denison is, most definitely the ass of texas..trust me..i live here...its a hellhole...you would beg to live in detroit after living here..its just that bad..

curse this god forsaken board

[mattmeck]

Killeen Texas is the .....town surrounding Fort Hood, the largest military instilation in the world. So what this means

#1 is there is 150+ thousand people here and enough jobs for 50 thousand.

#2 There is at any point in time 7-8 times as many men as women, lets discuss this for a second.. 7 guys for every woman = highest STD rate in Texas, clubs are filled with dudes. ect ect

#3 there are 4 clubs around here, 3 country 1 hard core rap. (both are crap IMO)

#4 125+ Degree weather alllll summer and no rain.

#5 I have 2 daughters ages 12 and 14 who are constantly getting hit on by these army guys ages 18- well the oldest guy to hit on my 14 year old was 34, so fist fights come close to happening all the time /grin/

#6 due to the deployments most major buisness have left the area, lost over 30 thousand jobs in the last 4 months.

#7 it takes me over 30 min to get home from places that are 5 min away due to living on post and all the security checks.


I could go on and on but I think this should be enough

[Tertiary]

I thought this forum was for EQEmu related topics ?

[aendaar]

thats pretty bad..but..

1. as far as i know, only one crappy country club exists
2. crystal meth and marijuana is almost the currency around here
3. kidnappings are common
4. people are like hemeroids..big, painful, and hard to get rid of
5. STDs run rampant here too..
6. all of the above

[Volvagia70364]

Look at the entire line I said about that:


Its called confirmation, it means asking other people instead of taking the word of a 13 year old who routinely surfs Kazaa for porn and is public about it....


Thats what hurts your credibility, not the fact that you do look up porn. 95% of that 95% you meationed is somewhat secretive of the porn bit, hence the cliche of the hiding of the porn magazines.
And put yourself in my position, would you instantly accept the word of someone who has before excused himself from a conversation due to masturbation? When there was the option of double checking available?

EDIT: A misplaced bold tag I missed on my review.

[aendaar]

it was eqemu related..should end now..yeah that would be best..

[mattmeck]

This forum is not for support / asking for anything EQEMU relater (files ect) The original topic was EQEMU related it just kinda went off topic, it happens in a lot of threads, just go read. Devs go off topic, people go off topic, my dog took it off topic. people arent bashing each other / asking for warz / making threats / calling the Devs names / or any one of the other things that piss off the devs so let it ride man let it ride.

[aendaar]

damn..well..in that case...what can i say..it was a damn hot picture..*raises white flag*

[Tertiary]

Devs go off topic

Sure, and if if 'Support Helpers' go off topic, that is fine too. My point is that if you pay $20 does that entitle you and your 'friend' to go off topic all you want, where people who posted the same stuff and hadn't 'paid' would be pointless posters ?

Not a flame, just looking for some consistency here. I haven't contributed 'financially' yet, but I don't see why those who pay should get more than the special 'title' and tech support that /dev/noob/ offered.
