Title: Idea: Server info on planeshift.it
Post by: Kare Islan on October 23, 2005, 11:38:17 pm

Well, I don\'t know where to post this as there is no real topic area regarding it, but I think that it would be a good idea to put some server information on the Planeshift.it main page, you know in that side panel on the left. Maybe using xml it could have just 2 or 3 items  (like server name, players online, last report time and the title of the most recent news article). For the details you would still have to go to the fragnetics site but the idea is that it would be more helpful in telling if the server was down since you won\'t have to check two websites and in the future it will be nice to see the stats of the (hopefully) multiple servers.

EDIT: Sorry for the repost but I really think that this issue would be helpful. The reason I did not post this in the Wishlist forum is because it appeared that that forum is for actual game suggestions only and there really isn\'t a \"Website Suggestions\" forum.

Well I made the same proposal (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=19848&boardid=11&styleid=4) some days ago in the wishlist forum but as you can see in the description of it it isnt really the right place to utter wishes for the website (\"What you would like to see in the final game? Post your ideas and suggestions.\").

OR we could not be lazy and just open the game and check the server status, or go to the server website on fragnetics.

I don\'t think the issue is really laziness. It is tedious to have to check 2 different websites for information about the server and is much easier if the information is in one place. But having stats on the main site would be an eyecatcher for new/prospective players and I think it would be an excellent feature for the whole community. ;)

I see what you mean. Yes, I agree. It is extremely hard to type in a website. It tires me out too.

I believe that you\'re being sarcastic Shami ;) . I understand that this could be interpreted as me being lazy but I\'m really not trying to be a jerk I just think this is a good idea. If you don\'t think so just say so. (And please let\'s not get into a flame war)

Okay. I don\'t think this is a good idea. (Posted due to not taking a hint?)
