Thanks!

Found out that while removing Avast firewall it is not gone. Instead Windows Firewall was still disabled in Component Services. Used Device Manager, slected View hidden devices, and showed that Avast firewall was still running. Rebooted to Safe mode, found the executable for Avast firewall, and added the extension ".off" and it poofed. Then went back to Component Services, and enabled Windows Firewall to run automatically. Another thing that ticks me off about Avast is that it will scan your computer, yet there's nothing shows that it is doing this to slow you down, then pops up with stuff it is saying about your computer, trying the paranoid sales tactic, and is all to get the user to spend more while Avast still continues to drag the system down. Time to find a reasonable firewall & antivirus that does its own jobs and not branch out wanting the user to spend more, more, more! Programs should know their place and do their job - nothing more.

And now am trying to go back to the guild I created, since the current guild has been dead for some time. Only thing is I do not recall the other account's password. Lost a hard drive and all the data that should of been saved does not appear to have been saved. So time to rediscover the game. Is there a /leaveguild command?

Used a gate and sitting there... waiting... was changing Win7 firewall rues and still at map screen... LOL

Okay, found the issue, however could not find a reasonable workaround. Avast Firewall was the culprit. I added rules to allow, and all ports, in/out, etc. Yet every time I run the game Avast Firewall was showing it blocked Net7Proxy.exe No matter what priority or customs rules I gave to allow access, Avast would still end up blocking it. Cannot figure it out. So the one time I allowed access, I got Xelkos in. Then when I exited the game, Avast Firewall continue to block Net7Proxy no matter what I did. The initial setting was some port in the 5M range, and if was anything else was set to Block. I changed that setting to Allow, yet nothing changed. Now when I disable the Avast Firewall momentarily could get into the game. One in the game I enabled the firewall, and latency shot through the roof. So... in disgust, I removed the Avast Firewall component, enabled Windows Firewall via Services.msc as Avast disables Windows Firewall on install. Have Windows fireall enable, and am back into the game. Now to find a friendly firewall program that gets along with stuff and is Connectify friendly too.

Yes, I'm in! Well, I was in. Forgot the controls. Quit the game briefly due to high latency. Clicked on Packet Optimization, then was booted to character selection. Restarted game without Packet Optimization, and well back to square one. Not getting past the map window.

Earlier in the year the main hard drive was trashed from a MS update. It hosed the partition structure of a 3TB HDD that was partitioned to a 2TB, where I had everything running good. Did not have a current backup, and of course E&B was lost. This week I decided to tackle the installation process again, with some issues, but got it installed okay now - I think. Although I think Avast is could be causing me some grief. Am going to have to go in and set permissions on the firewall I bet. (?) Can log in, at least to one of my accounts, enter password, Avatars/characters show up. When selecting any the Map screen comes up for a few seconds to a minute, then am dumped back into the login screen. Gah! ~ I can log into Net-7 website no problem. Took a while to remember the main account password. As for the others ... Sent in a support ticket, and Woodstock replied: use the unblackhole command So, umm, what is the "unblackhole command" and how is it properly used? /grin PS: Running Win7 x64

Am unable to save Hosts at its location. :\

I got on of my accounts to log in. When I select ant avatar can see the background Map screen for about 30 seconds to a minute, then and booted back to the login screen. How does one actually get into the game?!?

Global server issue...

Well, got one account in. Was going through passwords, and boom, got 1 at least! cept now am getting booted after logging in, and selecting Xelkos as my main avatar. Solar flares??? LOL

Okay, got in. Kept uninstalling and reinstalling. Eventually it kicked in. However cannot play as I don't remember the playing account password. Guess it is not the same as the web login. Argh! 530AM, am giving up.

Unfortunately am getting no where. Wants 2.44 Net7Proxy and it fails to download it no mater what I do.

I get an error stating Net7Proxy is outdated, and required 2.44 Have removed the folder, reinstalled. Same issue. Have deleted the C:\Program Files (x86)\Net-7\bin\net7proxy.exe and then reset the downloads, and then check for updates. Nothign seems to happen. Press play and am told the net7proxy.exe cannot be found. So, somewhere there is a 2.44 proxy version and so far have not been able to update not download it. Please, is there another place to download proxy updates?

And ... after losing a hard drive earlier in the year I got around to installing Net-7. Keep getting Net7Proxy error pop-up: "Server Failed to respond to Login attempt. But am not being asked for the username or password, although am logged into the web page okay. Okay, had to select the other IP address and am on sunrise. Did the patches, and the updates, and claims there is nothing else to download. Now getting a pop-up of Net7Proxy: Incompatible version of Net7Proxy. Latest version is 2.44 Okay, so where does one get the newer version of the Net7Proxy if the game fails to download it? Oh, btw, it seems I have I have 7 game accounts?!? /faint I cannot locate the names & password associated with these, although do remember trying to run 3 accounts at the same time back when I was active. No idea how I go about recovering those. The only UN&P I had was to Net-7 ... everything else was lost.

Wow, that was an old post then all of a sudden it gets talked about in the past week? Already got it that the farmers, who think they are getting rich off an nearly extinct game, don't want competition. Last time I was playing had heard about players/bots that would log in a spot and farm it clean, vanish, repeat. So they don't want it. Figured that was the end of it. Thought the idea died and was buried. Kept getting comments about it the past week. Not sure why it got attention again. Haven't been in the game much due to working two jobs and playing Guild War 2. Done figured player cooperation here was non-existent when I asked for help about the Pumpkin Chunkers. Only log in once in a while. Miss the game, exploring, and what not, but some things a person cannot do solo. Unable to dual box anymore and connection has gotten even more unstable. So, please, lock this topic and move on. Don't think I have the powers to delete the post or I would have long ago. Now if them oft-farmed (on the clock) asteroid fields would go volatile once in a while, and when one blew up the entire field would too - killing those farmers... that would be entertaining. Have asteroids with a 1% chance of being farmed, with a 99% chance to go BOOM! I am a believer/gamer that deals in variety. Stuff that doesn't change gets old, fast. Fly safe, and may your next asteroid hold a surprise inside!

Thanks Alurra!   Got to spend Thanksgiving with church friends this year. Been ringing bells for The Salvation Army again two days before Thanksgiving. Went to Smog Angeles for training with a new job, and possibly have a third job lining up with Frito Lay. All a sudden I've gotten busy. Now all I need is a new(er) snow trekking vehicle.     Hope you had  a terrific holiday season and are doing well too!  :D

Phorlaug sends me a message asking how I submitted a guild decal. Last I recall went to Guild, My Guilds, and in there was an option to upload a decal. But when I tried going there today, My Guilds (https://www.net-7.org/?#guildadmin) page refuses to load - instead defaults to the start page. - This a bug or something? Maybe it's bugged 'cause three of my alts are in Powergel's guild, the rest in Time Lords? I'll be gone for a week (work training) so won't be able to respond for a while past today. As for the fix to get mine loaded, Karu & many other in-game developers fixed it ... somehow.

  Never mind, figured it out...     Have to erase the entire signature that existed beforehand. Seems the pictures confuses the settings. Once removing the previous signature contents ... and then reloading just the text the pop-up box did not come up and it saved just fine.

  Had this problem a while back, go to add a forum character's signature and would get a pop-up box asking for Username & Password. Seems strange to get asked that since am already logged in.   Have even logged out and back in, yet when clicking Save am getting this pop-up to Log-In to save changes.   - Used the EnB Forum username & password - rejected.   - Next tried the Net-7 username & password - again rejected.   - Thought perhaps it's the account's username & password it's wanting - yet again rejected.   Am at a loss as to how to add/change forum signatures then if none of the usernames & passwords are being accepted.

  When I first heard of AA's I thought the player had gone mad, you know .... mad space disease. Next day was out in Jot and there was one. Was out there looking for titanium. Am sure that place gets harvested a lot. Spent an hour there yesterday was maybe 5 titanium ores in the entire field, no AA seen.   Guess they do exist. As to the OP I've heard the AA's only spawn in densely populated asteroid fields. Have not heard nor read of any being found in other field types: Gas, Hydrocarbon, Crystal, Hulks, or V'rix 'roids.   As per the V'rix roid's they are indeed "fragments" that have a 4 digit number attached to them. Can easily spot them though, are the bright blue 'roids with bright blue crystals growing out of them. Vendors won't buy them, and seem useless past the 79 (at OL150) exploration points for having cleared them.

  Noticed your post changed, but that's okay - things change without notice. LOL    If the event doesn't happen it won't matter much as we're all lucky enough to have EnB as it is. There is no other alternative for this game. It's just a small disappointment.

  Kenu said for us to remind him, but not seen him around.   Have the devs turned on the mission for Halloween goodies like Pumpkin Chunkers, Eye Poppers, or whatever else they have up their pants legs?

  Have a buddy that has Windows 10 on his Mac via a Virtual Drive.

  The idea comes from Everquest 2. There was an option to set an item Not For Resell.     What one would do was take their character to an NPC that would purchase thing. Then could right click the item and set a special box that blocked the item from being sold - unless the check mark was removed.   EQ2 can be played for free. Go make a character and try to sell an empty bag as an example. You will see there is a checked box that must be removed to sell the container. This also works with any item in Everquest 2.     Would like to see a similar thing in this game to prevent accidental selling. Why? Lot of good items look like looted items - having the same icons and trash/vendor fodder.   Yes, I lost a L7 Harpy - but that can be eaisly replaced. Have heard horror stories from other players regarding more higher level items - some that cannot be replaced.
