•How many users online atm playing.

laanx.fragnetics.com

I meant like for that number to be on the main site (www.planeshift.it/) not on a separate website.

It is what the game server is hosted on. That is not the community website though.

It's one of the community websites.  It used to list not only who's online, but who had the most advisor points, duel points as well as who had the highest strength, agility, etc.

I wanted the same thing, so I looked into it. It would be possible to 'scrape' the info (or have the laanx site generate a file containing that number), but since it is on a different server the data would either have to be pulled with each request (increasing response time and bandwidth use) or cached (making it outdated quickly). So, imo, there are more reasons against than there are reasons to do this.
