Newb question...

[Tool]

Now what im about to ask will sound extremely "Newbish", well, Why wont anyone join my games!?!?!?!?:angry:
I create a game at about 11am(Australia) thats when heaps of people are on. Just say its a Zero Clutter game. Well i make it, then 1 person max. will join, then i quite. Go to Join. and join someone else's zero clutter game and there is a full house.!!!
PLEASE HELP!!

Oh and i dont lag.

You have to also have an attractive name. Most people won't join unless you have a name that says it clearly like, "shared island 4x4".

So its also a matter of the name of the game.

Yea, you have to have a cathy name to catch the people's attention. But you never know, you might lag, and not know about it. At some times of day, people can lag more than at other times.

you live in australia right? well i'm guessing people live quite a well away from u and it also depends ont he gateway u are in. and your connection, on a good connection ur about 300ms away from america so joining the us gateways won't help :/

If your behind a router/firewall, that could be the prob.

[tnm]

Yup me too, but I didn't really needed to open a certain "port".
My trick is that i create a game and i put the speed at fastest (because pplz check for this so look out) and ppl with cable join.

if you're behind a firewall/router, sometimes people won't see your created game

well, im not behind a fire wall, so i have just come to the conclusion that i think its cause i'm in aus:cry: , but i dont understand when i join games that are hosted by people in the US, the lag is the same as when i join someones game who is aus.
