|GG|Carl Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 30 mins!? HA-HA-HA! I usually wait for days! j/k:p But it takes very long time... The best way to make people join is to make the server unique in some way, like running a special map, like "kotor_flight_school" or something.

Kurgan Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I run a server day and night. Usually I just have people join and then leave .001 seconds later all day long until certain peak hours (like 7-9 pm CST, or 6-9 am CST). Unfortunately this is often when there is the most net congestion and so lag does happen frequently. But, people can join anytime, so if you run a dedicated server, you have to run it for at least 8 hours to get anybody, rather than just the "join-and-immediately-leave-because-I'm-too-lazy-to-check-the-server-info-before-I-waste-everybody's-time-and-bandwidth" (but that's a pet peeve of mine) folks who pop on every few minutes. My advice, if you leave your server up for less than an hour, you can't really expect anybody to join unless your server is almost full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|GG|Carl Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Kurgan, how can you run a server 24h/day? It just doesn't work for me! What I mean is, I have to turn the computer off when I'm in school, sleep, away etc.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is, I have to turn the computer off when I'm in school, sleep, away etc.! Well, I have 2 computers in my home, and I run the other computer (that I don't primarily use) as my server. And, I leave that computer on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Well sadly, my computer isn't the most stable one in the world, so I do have to reboot it now and then (that problem should be fixed in another month or two). The only time I shut it down is if I need to download a big file or something that would lag it to heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaryGuy Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 our clan has a problem with players not joining our dedicated server. we cannot find it on the master server list for the game, or on the master server list on GameSpy Arcade. wtf is wrong?

Amidala from Chop Shop Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 This has been discussed in several threads in the Jedi Academy forum and elsewhere. There is currently a problem with the Master Server List\ingame browser. The browser only shows about 30 of the five hundred servers out there. Until Raven releases a patch, the workaround is to use The All-Seeing Eye from http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html It will show you all the servers the game won't.
