who/how many are online

Beware the cascading effect this will have on games.

I would prefer a notifier advises a game is running only. That might prompt people to log in.

If you tell people there are 6 online and 6 afk, people wont log in at all.

We need a trigger to get people to take the risk or else games will never start.

If I ever get to report the AFK information, I'll probably include a timestamp with it. AFK for 5 minutes doesn't mean much, AFK for half an hour means the guy may as well not be there.

Standard SG time on sundays, played inbetween regular tourney/league/whatever.
Or maybe SG time on saturdays?
Weekdays are awful....

I like this idea a lot.

However I'm not sure about a tourney. I would rather just hype some regular sunday community wide big games to be taken place on the beta.

Spunk, is there a time table on R7?

We are essentially good to go once everything is playtested. We'd definitely like to release before the end of the year.

I'm afraid that unless there is some kind of e-peen factor (We can't lose vs squad xyz; for example) turnouts might be small-ish. I'm yet to see a decent main game after SGs.... during sane-for-euros hours

We need to hype this game as "you can play although you're computer is old" strategy gameplay. There are too many other high end MMoGs out there.

Just call it Vintage and market it to hipsters.

as for people online and such ?

I've been TRYING to find games to play since 11/01/2012 - yeah, I've been AWOL for some time now but ASGS and Allegiance are updated, they run and I can NEVER find games anymore.

What games are people playing now? I see nobody online anymore. Just tried to play for the first time in a year.
