[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3687846, member: 13966"] I've been playing and DMing almost exclusively over OpenRPG for the past 6-7ish years since moving to Arizona. Works fine for me, though the software uses a lot of resources on my machine (which is also about 7 years old....) when running it, so I always reset the computer after a session. Kahuna_Burger: I think that's mainly an issue with the newer versions of OpenRPG from the past year or so. Apparently if you wait maybe an hour or half an hour, your server should be connect-able to or whatever. Don't know why that happens (I never have a problem connecting to my server, but others have mentioned it sometimes). Sometimes no wait is needed. I always run the server on my own machine that I play on, so that might be why I have no difficulty connecting to it myself. You can also try entering the IP address of the server and then hitting Connect, though I'm not sure if that works when the server's listed in gray. Also, I always use the server-creating option that opens an MS-DOS window for it, rather than the Server Console. I still can't fathom what the point of the Console is, since it sucks. If you enter a public server and create a room there, you'll need to fill in the spot that asks for an administrator's or GM's password (I forget what it says exactly), but it's different from the password to enter the room (which is optional). The main password is what you use to assign a role to yourself and the players (you click on their name in the list of people in the room, then choose to assign them a role, then you get prompted to enter the password). For reference, too: A server lobby's Map cannot be changed/used, except that you can place an image to appear there at start-up (and I don't know how to do that). You need to be in a room in order to fiddle with the Map and place minis. [/QUOTE]
