frozenicce Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Wanna play? - Solution for the empty server problem (@forum admins: old thread can be deleted) Hey all, the problem is that noone wants to wait on an empty server until more players arrive - yes So my suggestion for a solution is to gather up in the official #renx IRC channel, so that the client does not have to be loaded (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 allways anyways, but until then i think this is the best solution. How its gonna work: - Join the official IRC Channel #renx on irc.mp-gaming.com using an IRC client of your choice or one of the IRC webclients like thisone: http://en.irc2go.com/webchat/?net=Black-Cell.net&room=renx - Communicate by changing your nickname with a status Example: if i want to play and waiting for players i change my nick to /nick wait^frozenicce if i am ingame i use game^frozenicce if not currently playing i use lobby^frozenicce or just frozenicce When more players are gathering in the IRC channel the community will be alot more active and the server will be filled up more often.

Kulak Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensator Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Let me just say I tried Ren X in offline mode just now and I was blown away, it plays almost exactly the same as Renegade (minus a few bugs) and it looks absolutely stunning. Unfortunately I live in Australia so it'll be a bit painful for me to play with 250 ping, but I'll still play anyway! Joined up to IRC and am now waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanMkll Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Java is messed up on my computer, wouldn't it be easy just to list times on the forums and see if people will show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenicce Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 telling times is not as easy as you might think as in my case im kinda busy alot at different times etc ... so in the end it might work out for a few but gathering up in irc first to go to the server then is never a bad idea i think yet if most are not willing to be around on irc either then that wont be a solution... in the end i guess we will have to wait for the standalone version to have regular matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenicce Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 seems like noone is really joining on IRC in order to play ... so i guess we pretty much have to wait for the standalone release lets wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff kenz3001 Posted April 20, 2011 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted April 20, 2011 need an event that should get people on the server ... HINT HINT lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGroundsKeeper Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 When the game comes as a standalone, steam might be a good way to get people playing.(if steam agrees to it) millions will see the game comercial when they launch it. theres afew games that are free on steam, and i ended up trying em all and still plays afew(like alien swarm). And this game is just so much more awesome than most onther games out there. would be a big succes on steam im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
