I want to explain to everyone whats going on when you click to go to the lobby and get the 'Lobby Server down' error. The game requires a computer to be on somewhere in the world 24/7 to host a program that keeps track of everyone's server names and IP addresses to make joining servers fast and easy. The problem is, at the moment we don't have somewhere 100% reliable to host it, currently, MedO is hosting the lobby on an old laptop in his apartment (or somewhere else equally informal), he does a great job and I'd call it 98-99% reliable, but there are times when it does goes down.

If the lobby server goes down, you can still  join games, you just have to use manual join. To use manual join, you have to know the server's ip address, but once you have that, just type that into manual join and connect to a server.

Regular hosts, if the lobby's down but you still want to play and host, just post your ip here so that people can find you, lobby or no.

To get thing's started, here is the ip address of the ever popular Bacontown:

99.239.213.188

Seems full, any other IP's? I didn't think to write any down when the lobby worked =[

[RockingTuxedo]

Yeah same here 

[mrfredman]

Sorry, not yet

Most of the big servers that were up this week we're hosted by new players, so we'll just have to wait until the lobby server comes back up or the hosts stop around forum and inform us of their IPs. Chances are they aren't hosting at the moment as they don't know whats going on.

Aaaaand bacontown seems to be down too, IP address goes in, enter, enter, nothing happens, back to main menu. =[

[MEDIC]

Thanks for the info, someone should post a list of popular servers in preperation of these dire times. I'll try bacontown now.

EDIT: Worked like a charm for me, though I rarely play in bacontown because of my poor internet. I suppose playing with lag is better than not playing at all.

I might be able to try hosting some other time.

The Logic_Relay (Stock Maps) server is up.

It is located at internet protocol address 71.130.128.30, at port 8201.

Enjoy!

I've set up a server at 71.131.30.183 port 6112

[ImNoobA1]

Play my server..

IP adress : 220.255.7.137
Port : 8190

[juicebox360]

Play my server..

IP adress : 127.0.0.1
Port : 8190

Excuse me, sir?
That's an internal Internet Protocol Address. 127.0.0.1 is basically "Home" in the world of the technical internet.

Have you port forwarded, nonetheless?

Sorry to burst your little bubble...it's just that...

[DoctorRandom]

Play my server..

IP adress : 127.0.0.1
Port : 8190

I am quite sure I will sir

What are the network requirements to host the lobby?
I have a Sun Fire v880 in my bedroom (6 ultrasparc iii cpus and 12 gigs of ram) and a HP ProLiant DL320 with a Pentium D 3.2 and 2 gigs of ram, with a 20 down 5 up connection that doesn't go down for more than approximately 10 minutes worst case typically, and we would be willing to host it for you guys.

In case of "pics or it didn't happen." I am providing pictures to the v880.

That's all I have at the moment of it, but I'll take more later tonight or early tomorrow.

In any case, if the admin are interested, shoot me an IM.

Chris P Bacon rented a shell to host the lobby.
Basically, the problem is close to being solved.
