why are we so spread ?

http://onehouronelife.com/reflector/ser … ion=report

|--> server3.onehouronelife.com : 8005 ::: 25 / 40

|--> server4.onehouronelife.com : 8005 ::: 15 / 40

|--> server5.onehouronelife.com : 8005 ::: 10 / 40

Total ::: 65 / 560

with this player amount, the overflow mechanism shouldn't be on, with so little players spread like that, it's impossible to build anything lasting since we won't have enough births.
Please before starting a game, always check the servers numbers and if low like this, set the useCustomServer to 0, to try to gather as many players on the same map as possible.

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

Re: why are we so spread ?

Guys, stupid question, how can I choose a different server?


What's the most cruel sight you can see on OHOL? A bloody baby torn apart by a grizzly bear.

I'm Eve Planet, my children are usually called by planet names (Mars, Venus, Saturn etc), also Sun, Moon. Jedi, Joda and Skywalker are usually in the mix as well.

Do I just type in server name and port in the settings, that's it?

Re: why are we so spread ?

in your settings folder there are two files you need to change.

First find the useCustomServer, inside  it's either 0 (for no) or 1 (for yes), so if you want to play on a different server, you change it to 1 and save, once you're done and want to go back to main server, you set it to 0 and save.

Second is the customServerAdress, it initially says LocalHost, you change it for the adress of the server you want, either a private server that must be given to you by the server owner, or one of the official OHOL servers whose adress you can find here.
If the useCustomServer is set to 0 you actually don't have to change anything here, you only change anything when you want to switch server.

Also someone created a mod to be able to change server on the login page, you can search for it on the forum.

You can change it now in official client - just click Settings.
