New Player trying to connect

[HauteCarl]

Hello,

I'm new and stuff

What Ho Adventures!

While inspecting the latest crop of apples at a merchant stall you feel a slight tug at your cloak, You turn around and find the local skell, HauteCarl.
Noting the filth of beggary upon him, (his clothes really are quite tattered) you attempt to quickly take a step back and turn away but find yourself facing the cretin once again. Wasn't he just behind you? You look back. Yes he is behind you.... and in front of you.

You tilt your head in the direction of the merchant behind the counter in an attempt to ignore this persistent gnat beggar but notice the merchant is.. HauteCarl.. Suddenly, a notion of panic arises in the recesses of your mind. Doppelganger? But just as quickly as the thought crosses your mind it is assuaged by the remembrance of the tiny bell trinket you carry just beneath your shirt, a gift long ago from a grateful village mayor which detects all sort of nasty abominations including doppelgangers. The trinket has not changed its temperature, your mind eases, you relax,

and then you realize that all of the apples are now rows upon stacks upon piles of the face of HauteCarl and no matter which way you turn you cannot escape.

Taking a deep breath you mutter to yourself, Gods why me?

You grudgingly decide to hear the bastard out.


His diatribe begins, thusly.


I was able to connect to the server initially and it downloaded the extra files (successfully I think) When I try to connect now I receive the following error.

Attempting to Find Server IP address: port
Connection Error
Server is not responding. (Timed Out)

I can ping the server by IP so it seems related to the game client and not the network.

What should I do?

I am using a copy I just purchased from Gog with Cd-keys from my account there, do I need to get different keys from Gog.com? Should I reinstall?

Also, If I need to reinstall, is their a way to acquire the downloads files directly and apply them to the game directory rather than download them through the client?

Thank you.

First I'd try connecting again. If you were trying to log on tonight it's possible the server was just down when you tried as the process hung up earlier. If that doesn't work I'll give you some more tips.

Well kind sir I thank you immensely. I did as you suggested and am now synchronizing core files.

Now I will have you know that I tried connecting 12 times before posting and then once more after I read your suggestion, which was basically just to try again, and it worked! You have powers, you may not know it but you do. Thank you. Should I have any more issues I will reply here.

Are you going to eat that apple?

Nope. It's all yours.

Endelyon is a girl...at least...I think she is...never seen her, but she said she was a girl...hmmmm.

The dangers of the inter-web!

I do not see gender, I see adventure!

However I will concede that if HauteCarl is anything, he is wrong. Always.

You sir, are awesome. Welcome to the server, I hope you enjoy your time here!

I just assume no gender on anyone - to me you're all just a bunch of blank genital'd Ken dolls.

Everybody on the internet is a guy until proven otherwise, and even then, most likely still However:

That might be an even better solution!
