Hey all,
the problem is that noone wants to be on an empty server - yes
So my suggestion for a solution is to gather up in an IRC channel, so that the client does not have to beloaded (and blocking any other activity) and join the Gameserver when enough players are around.
Once this happens often enough the IRC channel might get obsolete when the Server is filled anyways, but until then i think this is the best solution.
How its gonna work:
- Join the IRC Channel #renegade-x on Quakenet using an IRC client of your choice or one of the IRC webclients like thisone: http://en.irc2go.com/webchat/?net=QuakeNet
- Communicate by changing your nickname with a status
Example: Lets say my nick is Dave
if i want to play and waiting for players i change my nick to /nick waiting^Dave
if i am ingame i use ingame^Dave
In other times just Dave
Simple - isnt it ?
Disclaimer:
this is just a random IRC channel, nothing official - if any of RenX reading this i suggest to maybe implement a web IRC channel onto the website so that newcommers can find it more easily. If an official one will be created, this one will be closed.
Cheers
