Is it me or...

is the server offline? The server ping does not show up for me. I was online this morning with no trouble and it is not like any of my settings have been changed or anything, but now the ping wont show up and I cant connect. It looks like it is online because on this website it says it is with 18 players on. I just wondered if it is online because I have not been able to connect for about 40 minuits or so.

Server is up.

Strange, neither me nor zarg can connect (same house but different PCs and MPIDs). Also, lestat is having same trouble it seems. I log on, I instantly get red lag and lag out. The server shows up when I try to reconnect, but in the ping space it just says -- and in the players it says 0/50. This shows that the server is online, but I can not connect to it, which is very strange since none of us that are having this problem have changed any PC settings or anything like that. Perhaps admins can check that my IP has not been banned or something? Yesterday whilst in the Nebula in Leeds near the Dublin jump hole, I shot at an npc and instantly got blown up, given the "-=SYNDICATE=-XD was hit by a speeding asteroid" and in green it said "you are not allowed to spawn items". Perhaps I was autobanned or something? Just a thought, but otherwise I can not think of anything else.

Your account has been auto-banned for the reason you stated, "illegal item spawn attempt".

Please re-install the mod to ensure there are no discrepancies in the ini files and send me a PM when this is done.

Thanks,

To Alpha, did lestat also get banned for this reason?

[AlphaWolf]

There is no indication that Lestat has been banned from the server.  Is there basis for saying he was banned or is it an assumption?

[anoyingnomad]

The basis is that he has exactly the same problem as Nova has.

"Also, lestat is having same trouble it seems."

Missed that part.  However, Lestat is not banned on the server so his problem is likely different with similar symptoms.  If he drops me a PM with details I'll take a look at it.
