NY13/14 Locked?

[Shroom 12]

Myself and some friends had been playing on NY 7 and 8 for a while until a rapid influx of nuking hackers deemed it necessary to give those servers regular visits, so just before the big update we moved over to NY 13 and NY 14, only to find them shut down and nowhere to be found for the next few days. I just saw them pop back up today still running 1.7.1.1... only they are password locked. I heard somewhere that this was not allowed?

Regardless, what's the point of hosting a server if nobody can play on them, really? Does the admin want to pin down the vehicles for himself before he allows pubs to join? I'm not trying to make any insinuations, just wondering what the hell is going on (and if we will ever have our new camps back online).

Thanks.

This thread can be deleted. It looks like they have removed the password lock, and are only locking it and letting people in at bursts.

Yea. They might be locking them to be able to salvage their vehicles. It is forbidden.

I think they were just updating. No worries. Africanized Bees is a good host and has always been during the time I've used their servers.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure the temporary locking is simply to let people connect in bursts, for whatever reason. I don't mind, it keeps the dedicated users in and keeps out some who are just looking for any ol' server to play on.

I had a thread about ny13 and vipeax said he was going to attempt to fix it.. it may still be locked til he gets it fixed? could be un-related? vipeax?

NY13 was broken. It's probably still under maintenance.

Jesus. Why do people always assume the worst the moment they see a locked server?

Aren't they open? They lock themselves to throttle spam, but it should be unpassworded... I had them passworded while trying to fix them as you don't want to enter a server to get stuck in loading.
