There are a ton more issues involved in getting NEW end users to get connected by installing their own web software/site and configuring it than it is to simply open a port and setup a user for Mysql to get started. You will have to think of a different strategy that will allow you to use the platform.

Amazing amazing amazing stuff. Will be using this extensively. Would love to see quest management put in this, especially with stuff like some of your dev plugins being included (i.e. the Christmas ones). Would also be interesting to see categories in the item/race viewers (swords, spears, daggers/humanoids, undead, dragons). You do amazing work Akka and Trev, keep it up!

IP address is correct,
User name is correct,
Port 3306 is open (check it),
DB name correct,
Password correct....

Still fails to log in.
Using Windows 7, Linksys E1200 Router, here is my ping test from router

Appears my router can talk ya.

Have you tried http://www.canyouseeme.org/ for that port?

Also, ensure that the MySQL user you are using has remote access rights. I had a problem where I had a user set up, re-imported the db from a backup and it wouldn't let me connect from EOC until I recreated the user (in fact I created a new one which I deleted after my session *paranoid*).

LOL. I don't do anything with anyone's logins. People who do that snakey shit should die in a fire.

You don't I'm sure, I did emphasise the paranoid aspect

But it's not over TLS/SSL so basically sent in clear text over the net. I am a little paranoid about SQL logins over the net due to things I've encountered at work in the past... Mind you, see http://heartbleed.com/

I think it is fair to say that you should disable the port forwarding on your router after a session though unless you have a compelling reason not to (being lazy is by definition not compelling!)

Just restrict remote logins to IP specificly and you'll be fine.

Even with the MySQL hash exploit as long as you restrict via IP you will be fine.
