I've been trying to log on to a server (any server) for about a week now on different days of the week and different times of day, but I hve yet to get any result besides "Server Full." Am I the only one experiencing this problem or what?

Hold down enter, this is quickly cue the system and you'll get in eventually, never took me more then a minute that way.

Still no luck... Is it possible that my firewall is causing this problem?

I can't get in!!!!! I've been holding down enter till my finger hurts(this means close to 15 minutes long!). I tried to get into all three servers for the past 4 days. Bullcrap it's busy from 3-7. This game goes on all the time. Are you sure firewalls have nothing to do with this??? BTW: I'm used a government computer here at the academy and these computers are behind a couple major firewalls.

Hmm...My main question now is since this is a flash based internet game, does it require for certain ports to be open?

Radaen55: Flash is only the front-end of the application. In order to have a full-featured chatroom, profile, and stats, they must use some sort of a database with server-side language (PHP or ASP) in between, and probably with Java for the chatroom.

Though I don't know much about ports, I'd imagine those technologies require certain ports to be open.

As for the original poster, I play in school all the time, and it usually takes me about 30 seconds to get on one server, so it's probably your firewall.

Try www.anonymizer.com or www.the-cloak.com for proxies, or search for more on Google (the-cloak can only be used once every 6 hours, so if you close the window, you're screwed! And I think anonymizer.com blocks pop-ups or something, haven't used it in a while though, so I'm not sure).

This is all done in flash:)

Play at night when it is not busy.

Member! I'm behind the Department of Defence's firewall! the Academy don't take kindly to anyone meddling with their computers. Thats why I was wondering if the game was compatable without changing settings. Thanks for all of your help guys.

100% flash???

I don't believe it, I don't believe flash has any way to communicate with the server like that. Correct me if I'm wrong (and teach me ;) )

This game uses Flash Communication Servers (http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashcom/).

Radaen I tend to agree with you (or understand what you are saying). At work (with a cable connection) its "Server Full" whenever I try, for however long I try. Then at home any time in the evening I can get on in like 3 tries maximum, and that is with a really poor dial-up connection.

Maybe they use FlashCom (http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashcom/)...

Edit: Oops. Didn't see that someone else has already suggested that.

I can't access the area from my workplace either - it's is more than likely a firewall issue at both of your workplaces. I live next to where I work and if I go over to my house, I get right in, even though I would have tried all day at work...

This could be a good thing though :)
