Banned from Zdaemon

[Horror]

I play Zdaemon and one day out of the random I get "Banned: To many logins" and I have no clue why! So I go on the forums and try to activate an account but to do so you have to log into Zdaemon and PM raider! IT SAYS CANT CONNECT TO MASTER SERVER every time I try to log in. How the heck to I contact Raider to get this fixed... Somebody?

Use Skulltag, it's at least 100 times better so don't be stupid ;)

More seriously, did you try to register more than 5 new accounts within a single day ?

[fraggle]

Try the ZDaemon forums.

Make a new account similar to the old one and PM Raider/Kilgore

[Horror]

I tried making a new account but everytime I try to it says "Can't connect to master server" I think its part of the IP ban

In fact, making more accounts is apparently what got you banned, so that would make little sense.

Get on the official ZDaemon channel on IRC using an IRC app instead of ZLauncher or the equivalent.

[Horror]

I dont think I got the right thing, Can you post a link of the app?

[myk]

I use Miranda IM, which is a general chat program and includes IRC among other services (MSN, ICQ, and so on) but I'm guessing mIRC must be simpler for someone not used to connecting to IRC. I used to use it years ago.

You'll need to connect to irc.freenode.net and the channel #ZDaemon once you get the program working. Be sure to read its help feature if you get confused.

The ZDaemon IRC channel is on their own network now and can only be accessed through the irc client built into their launcher. Since you can't connect to ZDIRC, it sounds like you're boned!

[myk]

Ah, that comes to show how much I use that channel, and how much they update their website :p

Find somebody to play ZDoom Launcher with you in a direct connection. :)

Now I know why people left ZDaemon.

[ReFracture]

I used to spend more time on their IRC server, but them requiring me to keep their app open was a deal breaker.

[DuckReconMajor]

I use ZRC for everything anyway, so hah.

[Horror]

Wierd I just got unbanned magically....

[Creaphis]

The ZDaemon giveth, and the ZDaemon taketh away...

Probably this 5-accounts-per-day limit. It's said to get you banned only for a short period of time.

[kristus]

Wouldn't it just be better to tell the users that they've exeeded the account per day limit and let them play with whatever accounts they made/are using?

"What's the worst that could happen? A player is emotionally destroyed? We can live with that." - ZDaemon login policy? :-)
