Title: Anyone play?
Post by: Retrosynthetic on March 19, 2011, 01:40:02 pm

Everytime I go on the multiplayer it seems as if no one is on. Is this a glitch or is really no one one to play with.

There are plenty of people willing and eager to play, and there are multiplayer packages for mods like Wings of Dawn and Blue Planet.

However the best way to get players is to log on to HLP IRC and set up a game. Also make sure your multiplayer account and connection are set up properly - make sure you can see the standalone servers.

Get a dedicated chat client, like mirc or pidgin or chatzilla  orwhatever. Mibbit sucks.

I like mibbit, leaveing chat in chrome instead of yet another program on my screen is nice.

Anyway, as far as I know, most games tend to be around 2pm-6pm (-6:00GMT) but it isnt so uncommon to have them at any time of day.
There are quite a few people willing to play, and if you catch me on IRC i'm usually glad to host a game.
