Now this is depressing me.

As a gmt +8 timezone, it's always giong to be sparse in terms of DMs and players in the eveings for me.

Now i get to work, sit down, review the meeting schedule, approve a few briefing notes for the minister, and then out of inteerest look at this player count thingy.

10 people on....


i hate this feature......

:P

Simple solution. Move.

Well, that, or quit work and just become a full time ALFAian.

Oh! Question!

Can this feature record the numbers, and some how graph the activity over time?

Wow that's actually an awesome idea! I'll look into that and check if we don't already have such a feature in NWNx4 or something. I don't want to be doing double work.

Good thinking!

Yeah there used to be a somewhat hidden traffic patterns type of thing tied to the NWN1 servers, showing activity by day, hour, whatever. I think TheLeatherDuke had some level of hand in that for awhile, and maybe someone before him, I forget. It could at least be used by people trying to pick times that were likelier than others to bump into people.

anonymous is back!

Try out !players


It only lists the total number for now. Will tweak it to list per server in the next version.

Enjoy :D

Version 2 with data for each server is done.

I begrudge dishing out praise in general, but this is pretty incredible.

I have questions!

Where does this information come from, how is it extracted (details please!) and what other information can be derived?
Current PCs:
NWN1: Soppi Widenbottle, High Priestess of Yondalla.
NWN2: Gruuhilda, Tree Hugging Half-Orc
