: Access Populated server I don't know if this is the write forum to post this on... If it's not sorry to bother you! I'm going to need to get into a server which can accept ~x users; however,

The server limiting user connections (to X, for example) will usually accept the first X connections to be sent its way. Once one of them is finished, the server will take up on another user connection. All the old connections are either rejected or ignored (ignored, more often, to decrease load).
Which means, if a connection has opened up, the server will accept the NEXT user connection, and not an existing one. So if you were interested in getting a connection, you would be constantly requesting user connections from the server (by constantly refreshing or opening new tabs).
HOWEVER. Trying to trick the server like this is probably not a good idea. Constantly 'bugging' the server with requests will increase the server load, which might make the existing connections take longer, and might make the server block your IP requests.
Also, take into account each browser has various optimizations, to try and improve internet connectivity. It probably won't resend a connection request every time you refresh the page, or open a new window; it might recognize an open connection exists and wait for it first, or it might use cached data. So basically, you can't effectively and consistently improve your odds at receiving a connection.

A special packet to the server might be possible if the server is configured to
