    Certain pre-scheduled events are password locked to prevent people from joining them and upsetting the event. The easiest way to join those events is contact the server owners prior to the event if you are in a unit so that you can be involved in map selection and understand the rules.

    If you are not in an organized unit; the easiest way to attend is join one of the organized units that participate in the events. A quick check of the CSA/Union Associations section of the forums and most of those units list the dates and times of their events to help you in your decision of what unit to join.

    So the answer to any new player is "Join an organized unit and attend meetings or don't play the game".. A true game killer. It makes no sense to password these events which should have an admin present to simply BAN anyone "upsetting the event" as you say. In game I've fallen in with numerous units and made friends while irl i OWN a a 24 pdr siege mortar and learned to "Load by the nines" when i was 13 .. lol.. Anyway It's just a cryin' shame that with two SEMI-loaded servers, neither of which are even 70% maxed out, 40 MISERABLE players are currently banned from participation for not kissing someones butt, dedicating themselves to participate with only one unit or knowing which hoops to jump through in order to get a password. If it continues don't be surprised when those hosting these passworded events are responsible for killing off a wonderful game before it even gets out of alpha. My apologies if my opinion offends but that's how I see it and what the newer players and those being denied access are saying. Plenty of oyther games they could play on a Saturday night. ~js

    No, those servers are hosted by units that are paying almost $150/month to host events. We have several groups than can fill up a server on their own, so the servers get passworded to make sure their guys, who are also contributing towards the hosting fee, are able to get on and play. There are usually open servers that are populated during event times, most people get on between 4-10pm EST. The servers are fairly empty during the day.

    There are plenty of groups where no hind kissing, nor weekly attendance are obligatory. With that said I understand the frustration - My suggestion would be to form a forum, or steam group for public players, where you can organise battlehours. I highly doubt this game will ever be a game where you can jump in at any hour of the day and find a well populated server. So I allso doubt that even public players are going to get around organising themselve to some degree.

    I personally like 1st Georgia and other groups approach, with Locked severs for Reg. Events and then immediately opended up when event is over. Welcoming in new players. Afterall, as Oleander points out the members of those groups pay and maintain those servers. So it should not be frowned upon wanting to use set servers for the kind of gameplay that Reg. groups enjoy

    Always liked such unique. Organizers spend money on the maintenance of servers. They plan events. And people like you think that others are obliged you on the fact of birth. Pubbies destroy the entire integrity and structure of events this is fact. Where do you come from such insolent?

    In order to hold these events, resources were spent on organizing companies, establishing communication, setting a convenient time for the game. Not to mention the regular spending of money on the server. For those who just want to play there are open server War of Rights.

    Sincerely, your Suwarow

    Sirs,

    The fact that this ALL has a learning curve and I simply questioned the need for and existence of Pass-worded prime time events which excluded those learning and purchasing the game does not, in my humble opinion, make me either "insolent" or someone who feels entitled by "right of birth". Contrarily it's "people like you" that mindlessly attack someone before knowing anything about them, rather than befriending, educating and sharing your experience with them, that DESTROY burgeoning player bases for new games. For the rest of those responding THANK YOU for enlightening me as to the cost of maintaining these servers (the last few I leased to help grow player bases were only about half that when paying annually.. i had no idea it's $1080.40 per annum now). In retrospect it does make sense when specific events have rules that vary or eliminate the standard game objectives, that one would want to assure all participants read and agreed to parameters prior to login.

    This said I still can't fathom how "pubbies", which i assume is ALSO some insulting or demeaning term members who've purchased the game but not yet joined a company, might "destroy the entire integrity and structure of events" so swiftly that mild correction or even banning if disobedient to admin could not happen first. Again that's just the opinion of my "kind of people".. you know .. the kind of people who have, since 1983, risked their lives daily for complete strangers, own their own 19th century firearms AND guns ( i.e.- field artillery and will be building a mid-18th bronze 4 or 6 pdr), will certainly assist in supporting if not outright paying for the right server/unit and don't act like some elitist prick talking down to those I don't know. I suppose I'm just a "pubbie" who started reenacting as a powder monkey in 1981 and has fought on reenactment battlefields using Napoleonic tactics from the French-Indian Wars, War of Jenkins Ear, American Revolution as - mounted and dismounted cav, infantry, artillery, medical corps and yes.. even Co E CSMC "Savannah Station" and has done extra work and gotten stunt pay in 5+ major productions. Hopefully we can start over Suwarow on a warmer, more civil and less insulting tone and actually end up friends but it wouldn't be the first olive branch pushed aside if not.

    Yours,

    Noble

    Your manner of speech itself caused such a sharp reaction, if you want a more respectful attitude to yourself, then strangers should also be addressed accordingly. I play this game for almost a year and literally fighting for passwords for myself found out one thing. No level of administration will not get rid of trolls and other unscrupulous players. Their goal is to destroy and shit. People who want to have fun without following the rules or being part of a unit create their opposition. Because there are requirements, plans and coherence of work. The admin panel worked horribly. Now in principle, it is of little use since your actions might spoil the fun of the game. Maybe I'm not the most loyal fan, like the gentlemen of the old regiments who play 4 years. However, I think that they will agree with me that it is more interesting to play at planned private events than to get a bullet from your friend for nothing. The pleasure of insulting or killing officers because the crowd disagreed with him is no.

    And so those who advocate the abolition of passwords in favor of increasing online on open servers will not get anything. They will just stop playing and creating Prime time online. Regiments now arrange regular events of an open type for the purpose of recruiting or just a fan. Going to open servers and playing with pubbies.

    Personally for me, as and for many other regimental players interesting competitive character between regiments. It gives an atmosphere and some customs. Puts the team. For individualists this not understand.

    Sincerely, SUWAROW

    1st Georgia always keeps it's server open to the public unless scheduled event of course or we're in another reg's server so I can understand where their coming from. However if there's not enough regimental players in a event to fill our server then we like to open it up to the public, I think there should be the one public server open at all times weather that be 20 players or 100. Either that or regiments will miss out on new players playing the game and they will simply be turned off because they have to build a empty server from 0 players. I'm a regiment man but also understand the need to be inclusive to all for the sake of the community growth, I mean those public players after playing a while may want to join a regiment to get the benefits of the highly competitive style of game play at events.

    P.S. Granted the screenshot I posted is rare for a weekend,1st corps server opened up right away to the public after their event 30 mins after I posted but if you want to ensure you don't get booted @Noble then the public players need to start populating on one of the 7 official war of rights servers so to ensure that doesn't happen, I feel your frustration though- just know that.
