Guide How to connect to the Survival Games

I have been getting a lot of messages and I have seen a lot of posts on the forums about this so I am making this guide on how to physically join the servers.

The server IPS are located: http://www.toomanyservers.com/



US Servers:
us1.mcsg.in
us2.mcsg.in
us3.mcsg.in
us4.mcsg.in
.
.
.
.
us27.mcsg.in
us28.mcsg.in
us29.mcsg.in
us30.mcsg.in



EU Servers:
eu1.mcsg.in
eu2.mcsg.in
eu3.mcsg.in
eu4.mcsg.in
.
.
.
.
eu27.mcsg.in
eu28.mcsg.in
eu29.mcsg.in
eu30.mcsg.in




Now that we have a list of servers, we need to try to connect:


Step 1: Click Multiplayer on the Minecraft Screen



Step 2: Choose either Direct Connect or Add Server (I suggest add server)





Depending on the one you choose there are different outcomes.





Step 3A: The Direct Connect Screen to add your server click join and try to get in







Step 3B: Add Server the name DOES NOT matter only the IP


Step 4B: Keep refreshing the servers you have added until a space opens up.




If you are lucky you will be able to get into the game. You can also use the server pages that are listed at the top to find which games are currently in the lobby and you should try to join them as they have the shortest wait time until the game starts.

If you wish to use a pre-made server list uploaded by CandyFTW that has the current US servers and current EU servers and will be updated if more are added you can go here: http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/servers-dat-file-updated-22-05.2947/




There is also a donor system in place. The donor system is divided between the two regions: US and EU. If you donate to the US servers, then you are a donor only on the US servers. If you donate to the EU servers, then you are a donor only on the EU servers. The main reason you should become a donator is to support the server because you like it and you want to continue to see it prosper, but there is an additional perk that comes with it.

This allows for fast games and guaranteed playing time.


There are 3 different types of donors: iron, gold, and diamond. The only difference that comes from them are the amount that you donate:
$10 USD/month for Iron
$25 USD/month for Gold
$50 USD/month for Diamond

If you wish to donate then you can go here: http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/pages/donate/




There is also an Official Survival Games Teamspeak server. There you can chat with other members of the community, mods, and admins. You can ask for help or maybe set up a team if you'd like as well.

Here is a guide written by iiCALLmeNOOBY, one of the admins, on how to connect to it:

Below is a guide on troubleshooting your connection if you cannot connect. It was not made by me, it was made by gamesaucer, but with his permission, I have included it in this original post and it could be referred to if you are having specific connection issues as the above guide only covers getting into servers with no problem. Thank you gamesaucer.

Happy Survival Games and may the blocks be ever in your favor.

Lawl, nice Thread.

What do I do if it keeps saying "failed to veryify username" when I try to join a server?

Can you log into minecraft.net and try to play it in browser? Maybe you are typing your username wrong or maybe you have not actually bought a minecraft account and you torrented it?

you might wanna edit the veride.mcsg.in to vareide.mcsg.in

Sorry was a direct copy/paste from the server list. Thanks!

Great Guide. Hopefully we will have less noob threads now! xD

you're welcome anyways nice tread need's sticky

Added the information about donators with COLORS! Thanks!

i cant go online its says that if got a bad login :S

Great work!!

thanks this really helped

Awesome! That is what I hoped to accomplish!

I made something similar, but more extensive. Maybe you can put something of this in the OP, since it mostly handles connecting to the servers if something is wrong with your connection.

I also attached a PDF version of this post and a txt file with all the servers already inserted.
servers.dat file here.

How to join a Survival Games server under almost every circumstance.

For Windows users only!
If you have a problem, try restarting your computer as well. It might work!
1. Log in to Minecraft

1.1 If you succeed, go to 2.

1.2 You get this message:

Check your internet connection by browsing on the Internet.

1.2.1 It works: Now browse to minecraft.net

1.2.1.1 It works: Go to “Play Minecraft from the website”.

1.2.1.2 Check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

It is down: Minecraft is offline. You can’t play online, neither can anyone else.

It isn’t down: There is something wrong with your internet. I can’t help you.

1.2.2 It doesn’t work: check your internet connection:

(“Network – No internet access”)

1.2.2.1 You have no internet access. This can be caused by various reasons. Try restarting your router or modem, and check if other computers DO have connection. I can’t help with this.

1.2.2.2 You DO have internet access. The problems are probably caused by your provider, for example a faulty DNS server. To make sure run Windows Problem Solver. The wizard will take over from me here.

(“Solve problems / Open Network Center”)

1.3 You get this message:

You have entered incorrect details. I can’t help with this.

1.4 You get this message:

Solution: Log in using your e-mail address instead of your user name.

1.5 You get this message:

Solution: go BUY Minecraft!

2. Log in to a server

2.1 Click “Multiplayer”

2.2 Connect to a server:

2.2.1 Direct connect:

Enter the server ip and press join.

2.2.2 Add server:

Enter the server name and ip and confirm.

See step below.

2.2.3 Join server via list:

Double click on the server you want to join in the list.

3.Problems with joining:

3.1 You are banned.

Wait until your ban expires.

3.2 You are kicked to make place for a donator.

Try to rejoin or join a server that is not yet full.

3.3 The server is full.

Try to rejoin or join a server that is not yet full.

3.4 You spawn dead and the server gives an error on respawn.

Quickly rejoin before someone else takes your slot.

4. Play Minecraft from the website

4.1 Log in to minecraft.net.

4.2 Play Minecraft in browser

4.2.1 Minecraft crashes:

Delete the \bin folder in your %appdata%\.minecraft folder.

Try again.

4.2.2 Minecraft works:

Go to “Log in to a server”.

BTW, is it possible to insert spoilers on this forum?

People will probably get annoyed by the length of this post.

Maybe you can post this forum in the thread
Always updated!

This Guide has helped so much! Thank you!

what if I get a message that says Bad Login?
help

Try to restart Minecraft or if that doesn't work then delete the .minecraft folder and redownload it.


To get to the .minecraft folder:
Hit the start button and type in %appdata%.
