Multiplayer Etiquette
Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2024 7:34 am
I have been poking around the topics and cannot find one on etiquette.
Lately I have been surfing the multiplayer servers. Just looking to make new friends and help out a bit when I have time to kill. '
So I am looking for games with no password. It may be a big assumption, but I assume if you have no password then you expect people to pop on and see what you are doing.
Then I look for games with at least one player on. (Not sure how you can have a game with zero players but they are there. a paid server makes sense but you would think a local machine would have to be on which means somebody would have to be playing. Would love an explanation of that.)
I am surprised at how may times I quickly get a "denied" or a "banned from server" notice. if you dont want people joining, why dont you use a password?
Not trying to be a pest but is there some etiquette I am overlooking?
