Good day, what happened to the game servers? i wanted to check them out as i've been eyeing them to the left of this site for some months since i started lurking here (this is my first post). i hope they are reachable soon, it would be fun to play with some of you :*)

We activate upon request and turn 'em off whenever it's clear nobody's been playing on them for a few days. Nobody played on them, so they are not active. Maybe you can reach out via XMPP or IRC and ask to turn OA server back on, though I'm not sure. I haven't played OA for a long time but maybe I'll install it back on my computer and try to join if I'll see someone online here.

Turning them off and on based on demand requires too much intention for coordinating games. Having an open server just lets randoms pick up and play, which is how it should be.

This does not mean you'll have to see an error message 5 times though, since most game clients try about 3 times before kicking you off.
yp22 · 2026-06-18 20:42 [#3917][report] >>18666 Yeah just keep trying to connect, and it should turn on after a few tries.
Also I made a thread about the Minecraft server since no one else here made a thread about it. https://cy-x.net/pane/post/928
I would have also written down the installation instructions, but that requires me to relearn how I installed it in the first place, and then write that down, and I'm too lazy to do that.

The one thing I don't want to happen though is a bunch of kids deciding to cause some ruckus by turning on all of the game servers at once and overloading it..
