you may get kicked or banned for having horrendous pings too. However, remember before you go out on a righteous crusade.

Admins supply servers free of charge, that cost them money, and are only there for your enjoyment. Most admins spend a phenominal amount of money upgrading their systems/connections, followed by dedicating vast amounts of time to making YOUR game more enjoyable. So, they don't "owe" you anything - at which point yours is not a position to complain. Remember this when you contact the admin, because nothing is worse than busting your ass to do things, at great cost, only to get emails about how you have done wrong or are a bad person. Also remember, for the sake of the masses, a few will be casualities. IE, to keep the rest lag free, high pings will be kicked and possibly banned if they are lagging.

Obvioulsy, take it up with the admin, but be polite, and remember what these guys actually do for nothing at all!

thanks chips... and git, i did email them. very politely. asking WHY my account was banned. the reply: "u were banned for using something on ure ship thats not allowed on this server."

those exact words. all i want to do is know WHY i was banned, so i dont do it again.

nothing makes me not want to play more than spending hours working on my character, then having it randomly deleted, banned, or stolen.

first in diablo 2, when they deleted all accounts. then in metroid prime, i spent a good few hours getting my gravity suit, and my mom made me turn it off.

i figured, "hey. the servers in FL are independent. no mass bannings. no annoying save rooms. I have a good connection and i dont hack or cheat or dock camp or anything, so ill play FL multiplayer."

Orillion: So trent, will you help us with the mission?

Trent: Sure, as long as I'm not shot at, knocked out, held at gunpoint, electrocuted, skewered alive by giant alien shapeshifters, have to dive out windows, or fight off spindly nomad incubi.
