A Land Far Away

Hello everyone, I just got accepted to ALFA and am eager to start playing with everyone here.

I seem to be having some trouble logging in to your servers though. I've tried each one numerous times and each time it says the connection timed out. Most servers were empty when I tried (it's about 1 am EST here) and had pings from 70-150. I had no problems logging in to any other open servers. Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

Anyways, I'm really happy to be a part of this community and believe I'm really going to enjoy my time spent roleplaying in a community with like-minded individuals.

no idea what may be causing that, but I'm sure the tech types will eb along shortly.

In the mean time welcome to alfa, theres lots to see and do and I look forward to meeting your first character in game. If you need any help you'll find we're mostly a pretty friendly bunch.

If you are having problems, your best bet most of the time would be to jump into chat (link on the left hand side of the website). Can get live help there, and people are usually pretty prompt in answering.

Anyway, welcome to ALFA. Really enjoyed reading over your application - I'm sure you'll have a ball here

The SIlver Marches server was having some issues last night and may have become uninhabitable for a time...but have no fear, AL is here!

Welcome aboard, matey...I hope to meet your second PC ingame soon!

Also keep in mind that the first time you log in, you are downloading hundreds of megs of goodies we have added, as well as the PWC files and etc etc. When I first started playing here again after an absence, I had a few timeouts as well. Give it a go at another time of the day and see what happens if none of the techs are about to offer a more precise answer.

Thank you from your timely replies everyone and thank you for your kind words Rotku. I'm on my way out to work right now but I'll try again later this evening and if I still have trouble I'll be sure to jump into the chat.

Welcome to ALFA. Please feel free to PM me in chat or on the boards if there isn't a more knowledgeable source of help available. Look forward to DMing your PC to an untimely...er...fortune in gold and jewels. Yeah...that's what I was going to say.

Welcome to ALFA

Welcome aboard and good luck with your second character!

Hello and welcome!

Good luck in your ALFA journey Steve.

like others said - the chat would be the fastest way to get answers.

Were you able to connect eventually?
