Working on getting the server back to a useable state after Steam forced the update that killed any attempt to connect. Gotta love these bastards... when they screw something up they REALLY screw it up.

174.28.64.64:27015

There are instructions on the Joplin Hideout group for connecting to servers even though they are not showing up in the server list

Despite Steam not showing any active servers for The Ship, they are online and they are accessable. You will need to go to the Favorites tab in The Ship server list and add the server(s) manually. To do this you will need the server's IP address and port, which you can find at the following website:

http://www.gameserverdirectory.com/search/the-ship/?page=1&sort=players_d

Step by step instruction:
Follow above link
Find the server you are interested in and make a note of the ip:port
Open The Ship
Click Join A Cruise
Click the Favorites tab
Click the Add A Server button at bottom
Enter the ip:port (174.28.64.227:27015 for example)
Save
Enter the game

A few notes worth mentioning:

Our IP address is dynamic so it may change. I will try and be diligent about keeping the current ip on the site and on a group post. If you cannot get on our server then please give me or Bonnie a heads up!

Our current IP:Port - 174.28.64.227:27015

Error Verifying Steam UserID Ticket error:
If you get this error from the latest Steam/Ship fiasco then please find instructions for correcting the problem in our older announcements.

Joplin Hideout would like to wish Clyde a very happy birthday!!!!!
