This is little bit dumb... They don't even have lobby just like you discussed in their forum.... How do they expect us to play in multiplayer mode? Play with people you know? That's still boring... What they need to do is setup server like Battle.net and i bet it would be very sucessful but only when ALL PDA had internet connection.... :oops:

Yes I think it's pretty stupid not to create a lobby-system or a dedicated server...

Anyway, I thought up another idea, which is not really good but I think it's good enough to test :).

I thought it would be nice to have some sort of website where you can add your IP address & status stuff to create some kind of lobby-system, with the only downside is that you have to manually enter things.

My idea was to create a main page with all games (from the last XX minutes/hours), then you click on 'start hosting' or something like that, then a popup opens where you can enter basic stuff (server name, ip, max. players, map name, status) then hit start and then you keep the popup opened, so that when somebody joins you add a player to the 'current players' list, hit update and its ready again.

I know it's not quite what we need, but if you guys think it's a good idea, I can create something like this :).

Check out some concept ideas I have .

Please let me know what you think!

To add to that layout you could add a php or java chatroom

To be honest it's a great idea, but it just isn't the same as a real built-in lobby system. All I see happening with it is a fate similar to that of PQT. :(

Yea I know, but I can't do anything about it... :cry:

Still I think that a website like that is pretty easy, even if you have to manually update the stage of the game...

So whatta y'all say?

OMG yes! Argentum had so much traveling and was slow paced. I just wish warfare had music.
