Post by Nigel »

Lol as if! :D

Ok, sigh, long story, but i'l make it short..my email for this account was banned until a month back, Its been banned for months, I cant beleive MSN actually listen to me. :)

So, the good news is, I'm back, the bad news is, I cant get a connection to the galaxy client, and ive been so busy lately, I havnt had time to play, hope I wasnt missed :wink:

Its Says connection refused, which is a bit of a pain I must admit :o

Tom, A Tractor is better than it was.
Battlezone is awesome, Gyruss is so far better than Zoric and Zion is also still up.

welcome back nigel

had you played the galaxy before leaving? if so, the galaxy probably still has your old account stored and you misstyped the password. maybe try deleting the tractor.cfx file in the clients directory and trying other passwords you've used in the past.

hope to see you in zoric soon.

if by some remote smiling fortune you have the same problem as i do (which so far, i'm entirely alone in having), clicking "abort" and then trying to connect again from the dialog that results seems to do the trick (often times waitin a moment for it to respond).


i'm not entirely sure anyone has the faintest why this works, but it gets me on to the galaxy well enuf most times, so hey... if it's not all broke, don't all fix it. or something.

yes the glorious past where you had....1 vehicle, 1 crow, no money, and a few buildings with no hunger/thirst, and.....nothing really to do but sit around and chat.

also strange is how none of the people that say the old version was better don't make an island that plays by the same rules as the old version :P

Thanks for the welcome backs :lol: , Im going away soon...a trip....but after that, Il should be rearing to play! Altho not a dedicated ammount i'm afriad...I think I told hedge awhile back about one of my new piroritys :)

It is probably the wrong passoword, il try my old ones :oops:

and 03 was way better, not because of the game, but ive come to realise, it was the people, Noki, Neocat, Zaroba, Hayiti, Ant, that other one....lol, Kj...it all seemed much more....better when you're a noob, if you want that experience again, those of you who complain it isnt as good as it was, get amnesia :wink:

G_Unit/Chris still around?

I see tom has taken over the galaxy, a few islands just isnt enough for him is it? lol

Hedge my first encounter with you properly was on tumbridge, you gave me a home and plenty of cash, showed me around your racetrack and offered a 30000s which i never received to this day I dont think...

Ahhh, the memories :wink:

heh, what i meant was we're all still here, but once we got to know each other a bit better it must have all fallen through :)

nah it was 30k between you and two other kids... i only owe you 10k, but you commendably turned it down. i think arklari was another one of the three, and the other guy i don't recall.

i think that was when i was invited into the closed beta for 04, so i wasn't playin' much anymore since i had a shiny new world to mess around with. which is actually the fault of wildchocobo, who upon "quitting" for the third or whatever time that was, gave me about 8k. it had been the first time in the game after 3 months of playing that i broke the 1k mark, and after that...well you get the idea.
the more money you've got the more money you can make...in the end i dumped every last penny into that raceway. and had to beg the knights and whirl, who were never, never on to remove a wall here n' there, sometimes waiting up to a week to get something i laid out improperly fixed up so i could continue construction.

so really i was just handin down the wealth to the next generation, so-to-speak 8)

come to think of it, i wonder if the grass/tarmac stuff is still the same in terms of speed performance. i used to love that double-fence hop in hedgehog town, on the way back from jumping the car factory and fuel stop that no one ever used, but brad and i tossed in just for sheer asthetic.

i'm hopin' someday i come up with a world someone has that same sort of fun with.
most of the times you give player the build-roads skill in a school somewhere though and you wind up with either these boring angel grid patterns or a farm in the road or some giant wall runnin through jed's auto shop.

we need more double-fence hops.
