AWESOME tips for logging in

well I still can't get on so I'm gonna post some more rofl. Here's my top 8 list of tips to help you log in 
I'll add more later probably as I continue to not be able to log in lol.
7. Don't space out as you click the button like a maniac or you won't react as fast when the scrambled letters window actually does pop up
6. go to all your friends houses who play SRO and cut their cable or phone line, depending on if they're on cable or DSL
5. speed of typing in the letters still isn't 100% critical since U can only click the login button once every 2 seconds so if a spot opens up on the server a quarter of a second after you click it, others may have a 1.75 second lead on you at typing it in. So it's really just luck so go get some
4 leaf clovers and rabbits feet and do whatever lucky dance your ethnicity does (for ppl as white as me, I believe that's The Hustle lol) and you'll stand a better chance
4. Listen to some trippy music like Dance House Children or some random Happy Hardcore music on Imeem.com. It'll mess up your whole concept of time and you won't feel like it's taking forever
3. yell GO GO GO GO GO GO GO every time after you type the scrambled letters correctly. That always helps.
2. Make sure you actually click confirm on the scrambled letters window. If you accidentally double click anywhere else in the window, the game will crash instantly every time
1. stop trying to get on so I can dammit!
0. This one is #0 cuz it's most important lol. Last night I logged out in a completely empty area far in the north of DW city by the monastery or whatever. Now I logged in and took about 10 seconds to get the image verification correct cuz I apparently got the first one wrong and it still logged me in. I logged out and tried again and it let me take as long as I want. It think perhaps, instead of the server being at its max number of people online, the square grids in the busy part of the city are at their maximum amount of network traffic or network information density and that's why it doesn't let you log in. That makes sense because if you're off in some obscure empty location, it doesn't have to transmit your movement data to any other players. If you log out somewhere empty, you can most likely get on WAY easier. Try it! I'm gonna test it thoroughly tomorrow at like 11:00 AM US Central.
UPDATE:
here's some fake techniques that don't work at all but were made up by very evil people. Here's how it works. They tell you to do some bullshit thing they made up that actually gives you a severe disadvantage. Then they get their friends to also lie and say it works. Then thousands of people believe it and do it, thinking it will help. That of course takes thousands of people out of the running for logging in and gives the people who made up the BS techniques a huge advantage to get on. Well here's a list:
1. putting in a wrong verification code first really fast. That only gives everyone else about a 3 second lead on you. This is the stupidest, most BS technique ever and sadly, the most popular. DON'T BELIEVE IT!
2. Running any other special program at the same time: It's either a password stealer or if it's a program you already have that will make your lag insanely high. Example: running bittorent with a bunch of downloads helps you log in. No, that just slows you down 50-1000+ milliseconds.
3. waiting really long in between attempts/restarting your computer between tried: Joymax does not in fact give people priority who don't wail on the login button. They don't record how often you click it at all. Restarting doesn't help one bit either. People who tell you to wait longer just want you to not be trying to get on so they can easier.
