Ummm, is it me or isn't Vivendi Universal not even a valid company anymore? Vivendi Games was acquired by Activision and re-formed to create Activision Blizzard. 52% of that is owned by Vivendi but they sold off NBC Universal to GE. EA may own the rights to the IP.....but if the IP is/was owned by Vivendi then its owned by Activision/Blizzard now.

Might want to have some of these guys, that are having the problem, download and run Wireshark. They could then send you the logs. Very nice tool for identifying when and where the network issue is occurring. That could assist in how to setup the code to avoid/prevent the issue from disconnecting them.

I do find the resulting posts amusing. If Ever had a JD he should have been on it. I never complain if someone outguns me. They deserve the kills since they are following E&B game mechanics. Players that bring their own personal "code of conduct" or "belief system" to the game and try to use that as an excuse, for anything they do in game, are doing just that.....using an excuse. The game mechanic is very simple. Don't hide behind excuses....I never did with my 5x150 toons during live and I will not now. I posted this as I am tired of people bitching about KSing in [New Player], [Market], or in this case a tell and tells to my guild's officers. This is the first such accusation I have received while playing this game and I was offended by the threats. This guy is trying to leverage his guild against others and threaten to inflict consequences for a game design action. This is intolerable and in my mind is close to violating the TOS. In no way was I a dick or jerk.....read the text in the screen shot. I killed a mob that we were both camping....a mob I have been camping, on and off, for three days. Is it valid to say it was "my kill because I have been camping that spot or three days?" Certainly not. I do like the bar analogy. Let me tell you how I get drinks in a crowded bar. I hold up a $100 dollar bill so the bartender can see it. I get my beer, and usually anything else I want for the rest of the night, quite quickly...and the bartender gets $100. I bring the right 'gun' to the 'fight' and I 'win.' Not my fault if others do not understand the "game" as it is designed. Have fun folks = ]

A killsteal is taking a mob from a group/person, that has been camping a spawn point for a long time, by getting a single shot off when you just fly in/by. If two people are camping the same spot....even for 5 minutes...they both have the same right to the mob. Now here is the fun thing with E&B. Players cannot Killsteals. You can in most MMO's but not in E&B. Whoever does 51% damage (or the highest percentage if 3 or more players are all attacking) gets the credit for the kill....period. If you fail to get credit it is your own fault. Either you do not have good enough weapons, are not the right class, are not using the right tactics, or did not bring a strong enough group/player (gun) with you. In any of these situations the responsibility for the loss of the kill is on the person that did not understand the E&B design team/Westwood's design for getting credit for a kill. Do Not Try to Accuse other players of KSing, threatening them, or their guilds with your childish inability to understand the game functionality. Yes, this goes out to a specific person....and yes I do not apologize for bringing a bigger gun. Use your resources (guildmates, alts, better gear, guild relationships, grouping, tactics, etc) so that in the future you will get the kill. Just because you have been "camping" a spot does not mean a mob belongs to you. I will finish by saying this: The game is pre-Alpha....the mobs have very basic AI and many skills that do not work. Learn the game, test it, generate bug reports, and have fun. Please do not devalue the work that this wonderful Dev team has spent with childish and threatening behavior.

That worked. You guys rock. thank you and apologies for being stupid. = ]

I created a new account and validated it but when I go to http://www.net-7.org/index.php# to Register, so I can login to the game, I receive a "user not recognized" when I try to login and a "Forum user not found" message when I try to register.
