Multiplayer practically empty??

April 26, 2008 1:28:38 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
    Ok, granted it's 1:30 EST, but there are like 9 people in the lobby and no open games....

It does say 173 people are online, but I don't see 'em....

Still, a 'hugely popular' game like this I would expect thousands perhaps to be online?  And dozens of open games starting up aroudn the clock....

Is Sins multiplayer dead before it started???

Where are all the points/ladders/etc????

Seriously, I'm not trolling, just stunned...

ICO sucks in general, hence not many play on it.

Sins MP does suck but they are meant to be fixing it in the 1.1 patch

There are 9 people waiting for a game. The rest of the 173 people are inside games. Ive suggested to Ironclad that the people in-game should be shaded grey so that the ICO lobby doesnt look so lonely.

I know a lot of people that play over Hamachi rather than using ICO, simply because it's what they use for most other games with their friends the company stopped providing a server for (like Home World 2 C&C Tiberian wars)so it's just as easy for them to play over Hamachi as it is to log in and put up with the trolling/spamming/flame wars you find in 90% of the online game rooms.
