If you just verified recently, it could take some time to allow you into ranked rooms. I don't know of any other reasons.

MAby it's because you do not meet the rank requirements.

It is probably the rank requirements. Keep trying different rooms. It is a pain when you start, but it will not take long to figure it out. You don't want to play in high ranked room when you start anyway.

that's gotta be why, It's a real pain to find ranked rooms when you first start.

Its not a pain at all... just go to the enlisted rank rooms. You can play in them the second after you verify.

This is right on the money. Once you join, just goto enlisted rank rooms and you will be fine. Once you become an officer though, your troubles start all over again. Unless your a butterstick(ensign), trying to get into east/central/west etc. ranked rooms will be a pain. Unless you have clanmates or friends that are on a lot, your going to be stuck with only hundred or so people to play with of the same rank as you.

This is a major pain in the azz if you have a high rank, so i suggest you purposely keep your rank low. Otherwise you will be stuck joining games thru clan/friend lists...

I think that 'intentionaly' keeping your rank low is a load of crap. If no one knows how to get their rank up without cheating than how do you know ow to keep it down? Do you TK a lot or commit suicide at the end of every round in which you survive? I think that when playing normally there is nothing you can do to "secure" your ranking so just use the friends/clan lists to join rooms.

Well, for me, i play at random times. Sometimes i feel like playing and sometimes not, plus having two jobs just adds to it. So, i choose not to be in a clan cause i would be taking up space and not easy to coordinate times with friends. So, what you just suggested would not work for me. I do not TK or kill myself. I just abort games and turn off my ps2 w/o logging off. That alone works well enough to keep my rank down.
