Good morning, evening, day, night, whatever works best in your current time of day, wherever you are living (since not all faces of the planet experience the same times; one side faces day and the opposite faces night).

You may have noticed that a new role playing game on my profile has sprouted named Farthest Reach. It is admin activated, so there may be a bit of problems surrounding that area as well. Farthest Reach is part of the official Zero Escape hosting servers. It is (not sure if this is 100% accurate) one of the only Zero Escape games that is not based off of source material.

Here's a question users may ask me - "Why can I not join Farthest Reach?"

Well, there are many answers to this question, they sprout endlessly. I will list a few ideas as to why you may not be able to join Farthest Reach.

The first reason is that the server may be starting to slip off it's fingers from the cliff it's hanging from. Think of it metaphorically, this is the best way I can explain it. When there are too many players inside the server, it begins to get heavy with client and server functions, that it cannot support it's own weight and it begins to slide off that slope. Eventually, when it cannot handle enough of the weight, it will fall off the cliff, bringing the server to it's ultimate end (a crashing server).

When this happens, though, it will often be implied that an administrator has locked the server to the public or has locked it to Zero Escape members only (reason why you should join Zero Escape, you get priority over others during a role play's intermission for picking out who plays and who spectates).

Don't think you are banned, unless you have proof of being banned. It's just a safety protocol to keep the server moving up that steep hill, rather than down, plummeting to eternal darkness.

The second reason I can think of is that you're probably banned.

Third reason? Let's start with the statistics of the game. As much as the story permits it, there is a limit of players who may join a single server. This being said, if a server is full, why not ask an admin to join the new server? Two or more servers being hosted at one time!

Unfortunately due to it's build, which is undergoing an EBR-type maintenance (probably will be canceled), the part size is already a contributing factor to server lag, causing players with bad computers to have their ROBLOX clients crash on them upon their entrance or during the loading sequence. There goes your invitation. Thrown off the cliff. And poor you, have to go run and get it.

Farthest Reach is not supported by Phones or Tablets. The build is too great, that the problem is that factoring client and part lag will probably cause the internal overheat of your mobile device and may either cause an emergency "log-out" of the game or may crash your entire device, returning it to the home screen. For this reason, the phone and tablet compatibility switches in the game's settings have been turned off.

Maximum servers of 35. Anything higher and the server is guaranteed a crash. Plus, another server will not be able to start to back the closed server up.

Fourth reason? The game is offline for HEAVY maintenance, development overhaul or the shutdown of the game (will be a personal reason if it so happens to).

Fifth reasoning, or answer as you may classify it. Perhaps you need to reinstall your ROBLOX client.

If there are any problems beyond this, message me (you'll get a reward for doing so if in Zero Escape, I'll contemplate on what it shall be if it's a REAL error). If it has something to do with your joining and becoming let's say, a Guest, that's beyond my control. That's for ROBLOX to do, rewriting the join protocols. Or you can consult Gusmanak, he has a lovely method of clearing all possibilities of joining as a Guest while you are logged into your account.

Tootles, I think that is all I have to cover.

If this forum made no sense, either you don't know anything about the programming world, you didn't take your time to read this or I was in a rush and didn't take the time to proofread. Pretty long, anyways.

tl;dr (for lazy people): You can't join Farthest Reach because you didn't read this forum.

stl;dr (for super lazy people): I kind of left the "tl;dr" at the top of the forum, and it ends around 2 paragraphs above.
