GameSpy concerns

[Secutor]

Not sure about the rest of you (although I got a few ambiguous confirmations on IRC) but I don't seen EfUA in the GameSpy and haven't since the switch-to-surface. I've had to direct connect or use the history page. Now, most of the other RP and PW Story servers out there haven't had significant population decreases over the last few months, but EfU has. I'm concerned that being blocked out from GameSpy is keeping new players from popping in.

Anybody else have the problem I do?

Showing up on GameSpy requires opening certain ports (that don't need to be open to play). I forget if it started showing up for me, but that might be something we need to look at.

  I have the exact same problem.  I recently bought a new computer, and if not for knowing the forum address, I would never have been able to find EfuA

Does the server need to open ports, or is this client side based?

I've not modified my port settings for over a year and I could see EFU, but not EFU:A.

It didn't have to do with ports, but there was an issue that's corrected now.  You should see it on gamespy.

[Secutor]

Cool, I see it now. Let's see what happens in the next few weeks.

[ExileStrife]

I'm testing one more thing the next time it resets, but after that it will work.

[Secutor]

It's missing again.

[ExileStrife]

Yeah, so the test didn't work so at the moment it's not being advertised again.  When it resets next it'll be displayed again.
