Chatroom?

posted on January 19th, 2009, 7:24 pm

I was just thinking that if there could somehow be a chatroom incorporated into the site with a room for hamachi and room for gamespy and a loby it would make finding people for a bash at online a tad easier than posting a thread and waiting ages for a reply.

Like I said i don't know how or even if it's possible but it's an idea to throw out there

(P.S If this is a topic that has come up before I apologise and the mods can delete my noobish ramblings)

wont work because only 16 free users can be on 1 network, therefore fleetops v3 is full already


the alternative programs that would support 16+ are :

there already is a lobby. you can use it for free and you can chat. So where is your point? Join the multiplayer lobby and you get what you want. After reading this I'm wondwering if you've ever considered to do so.

My point is without gamespy... and without knowing people's Hamachi Network information it is difficult to just hop into a game with other players without trawling the forum looking for said information which could be old and outdated. Or by posting yourself and waiting for a reply as I have to do now, which can take a while for people to see or reply to...

As for the links posted is there one of those pieces of software being widely used by FO players and if so could I get some information about it?

Xfire could be useful if you know the name of people using it.
