I know nothing about how ASGS works, so this question is being asked in ignorance.

But, now that FAZ can be run through ASGS, would it be possible to add a section to the frontpage of the forum that would show who is on FAZ? It's a small thing, but if it's not too much trouble, it'd be nice to see from the frontpage rather than loading up FAZ itself.

Maybe this should have gone into site feedback?

Whatever.

Short answer, No.

Long answer, in case your reflex is to ask "Why":

ASGS is a single system and doesn't get information on which individual servers people are playing on. Whether you log in to the Beta or you log into production, you're still going through one system.

ASGS *will* display the names of people on the beta, but they'll be mixed into the regular list.

Also, the beta lobby is only going to be run in "secure mode" for the big test days, from what I understand.

ill use it anyway, its no biggie, and we should test FAZ with ASGS anyway.

only reason not to is when you need to play with yourself.
