I have entered ?go elim and I cannot play, why is that?

Question : I have entered ?go elim or ?go baseelim and I cannot play, why is that?

Answer: You have to accumulate 36 hours of usage before you can play ?go elim or ?go baseelim. If you wish to know how much usage you have, type ?usage. If you accumulated 36 hours while you're online just relogin to the server.

And no, TW Staff cannot transfer usage to secondary accounts.

Part 2: (and trust me I've seen these ?helps come in before) I now have 36 hours, I restarted my client, and I still can't get in, why? And an explanation of Elim

Answer: You have to wait for the current round of elim to end. Elim is played in rounds, and at the end of each round, a new one starts. When the game begins, you can enter and vote by typing a corresponding number in public chat, how many deaths you want to play to (when prompted) and what type of game you wish to play (also when prompted). Some game types are: warbirds, fighters, lancasters, spiders, leviathans. The game ends when there is one player left alive. You get eliminated when you reach the death limit. You are not allowed to team or hide from combat in ?go elim or ?go baseelim or you will be put into spectator mode by a staffer.

[Dameon Angell]

you go into your options and change the colors of your text. make it you as blue vs them as yellow. i think that'll work. but, it won't change the radar. I dunno how to do that.

[Denon]

Radar colours are change in colors.bm2

Yeah it's true that these questions are asked a lot on ?help's but i don't think many of those users would think to check these forums or have even registered for these forums.

I'd say that approxinately 1 in every 30 times this is asked, the guy has probably visited these forums before.

Doesn't hurt to post it here obviously, but i don't know how usefull some of these FAQs guides on the forum really are. The one on the Trench wars website would be more frequently visited by players who are new to the game.

This sub forum is for updates to the FAQ on tw.org, i'm sure Push will get around to adding to it.

For Elim 2 (hosted), you need 1000 hours of usage to play in.

<sigh> the 36 hours thing really does suck... (sorry for bumping this topic) LOL

[Ewan]

Why does it suck? Trust me, by the time you get way past 36 hours (Which I am assuming you haven't) you will think 36 hours is way too low.

I think some of the advertising we are doing on MMO sites with the addition of Ara being a eurotrash scumbag is causing people to try to sell us MMO gold.
