Can't connect to Delteria?

I can't connect to Delteria. It says I've been disconnected from the server. I don't think I'm banned... but are there any known problems like this?

That's strange, I can connect to Delteria.

It shows that you're IP range is banned on Delteria. I'm not sure why, but I'll look into it more.

*shrugs* Not sure why you were, I apologize. You are unbanned now. It might have been someone using your same ISP or something...You didn't have any comments or anything like that set.

I rarely IP ban, so I've never really been worried about keeping a log of it, cause I always knew...but I suppose after this I'll set a new rule into effect so that they have log the IP they IP ban as well as why...shoulda done that in the first place *Shrugs*.

Too many staff just get IP ban and don't check into it. I was going to IP ban this guy, but I got on UN and had them pull his IP, they were different, meaning it was a dynamic (changing) IP address. This would lead to the person who SHOULD be banned, to not be =( I wish there was a better way other than IP banning... but it is the best there is right now. A lot of trial ppl just own a ton of accounts.

You can still IP ban them, just ban a range instead of one IP. That's how this guy was IP banned. The majority of the time there's only one or two different IP ranges...but there are also those with like 10.

You can't make the IP banning any better, it's as flexible as possible. I would like to see better bannings though. Perhaps throw something on a clients computer, either an encrypted file or the registry or something, and when Graal tries to connect to the server it checks to see if it exists for that PW, and if so it doesn't let them continue. *shrugs* Just an idea.
