Well, it seems that something's borked with the server. It's saying that I cannot connect due to something stopping it from filling out the request (or something to that extent)

Seems like you managed to connect and even acquire some Panache. Were you having these connectivity issues after a previous session?

I'm tempted to hop back on, but I'm leery about putting Java on my laptop again after what happened last time. I mean, if push comes to shove I just have reinstall my OS, but still. That's a bit of a hassle.

Have you tried rolling back to Java 7? It's still supported until April of next year and you can find it here:

I find that it is good practice to reformat your hard drive and start clean every year or so, perhaps this is your incentive?

The issue was occurring no matter which version of Java I used, and I just formatted it like a week ago.

ouch. If you don't mine me prying, what's your systems specs?

[Vorthon]

8 gigs of memory, Intel® Core™ i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz × 8, GeForce GTX 860M/PCIe/SSE2. Running 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

[evilnancyreagan]

our server is running 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Oracle's Java 8 with no issue but, then again that's all it's running aside from the server.jar.

I hope you can get that sorted, Spire Bay is missing out on a bunch of potential immigrants, lots of new faces!

I woulda posted this on reddit, but dammit I dunno how to work that thing

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The borders march far from my gaze,
Unlimited they fly!
No thing is wreathed in hiding haze,
All’s clear before the eye!

For every skill, a border waits
For every hand, a task-
There are no dangers, are no hates;
To each parched throat, a flask!

So come and settle down and see
The land of Azure Beams!
A city built beneath the sea,
Made brilliant at the seams!

The desert’s long, your trek is far,
You come to see a pool
For you are there, reflected twice
In water pure and cool!

See not the limit of your mind,
But strive to seek it out-
For each has built a thing to see,
To hear of, and shout!

For there the snow designed by Blovv
Is crafted to a hill-
Go see it, through fire to ice,
Take heed and have your fill!

And Casey with a Star had made
A Town to marvel at!
Beside it in his den of fear-
The dreaded Slime has sat…

Fear not, take up your helm
And fashion boat and path!
No border is beyond your grasp-
Keep walking with your staff.

Not even half I’ve told to you
Of what a shrouding mist can hide-
Heed now my words, and venture forth
Towards new hope you ride!

[evilnancyreagan]

Although, Tyrone escaped his pen and had to be put down Captivity wore on him poorly and he just had to be free, even if it meant death. There are a few baby Tyrones being housed in Star's greenhouse that live on in his memory.

Honestly, reinstalling the OS seemed to fix a few other problems I was having as well, so I could probably get it to work, but I'm still kinda gun-shy. Mostly because re-DLing my steam library on satellite internet is a nightmare.

[TD1]

Alas, poor Tyrone, I knew him...

You could create a new partition on your hard drive and backup your Steam library there.
