Server help

It doesn't matter how many questions you answer, you won't be able to get on any premium server if you haven't bought the game. And yes, you're getting that error because you haven't bought the game. Best thing you could do is buy Minecraft, simple as that. If you have anymore server related questions, please post on the server's submission page or website, rather than random threads you find that aren't related to your problem what so ever. I say that because your question's will end up getting answered much faster, and you won't get in trouble for posting in the wrong section... The mini mods will eat, beware.

I hope I am posting this question in the right section and do not offend anyone.
When I try to login to the server "the Emeralds" I get error messages...failed to login: bad login and also user not premium.?????I did not purchase minecraft and play the free cracked I guess you call it version. Is it not allowing me in because of this????? I am more than willing to purchase minecraft because I really have grown to love playing the game. My understanding is that you can preview the emeralds server and try it out...but are not issued building rights....so I am not sure why I cannot seem to log in??? I have posted to the approprite thread and answered the 4 questions required to apply for building rights on the server....If anyone can help me with this It would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely...tqf

Try refreshing the page and see if that does anything. If that doesn't fix your problem, it's possible it's a browser cache problem. Just clear your web browser's history/cache and check to see if that fixed your problem. Also, make sure it's within the maximum size/proper file type. The correct file/size being: 468x60, (png, jpg, gif) max 350kb
