Was my forum approval also my account approval? What patch is the server running (current is 7.0.1.3 I think)? Is the port 1980 for Razor as well as gateway (typically 2593)? That about does it I tried to PM but I figured this may get me moving a little faster.
No your forum approval is not your an account approval. You will need to send Acacia a pm with your desired user name and password so she can get an account set up for you. She will then return your pm and confirm that it is all set up.
I am currently only patched up to 5.0.6 but I don't know if anyone else patches higher. And as far as the port for Razor I am unsure because I always use Gateway to connect and the port for Gateway is 1980 as you stated.
Be patient with Acacia, she too has a real life but she will return your pm as quickly as she can. Welcome aboard!
