This forum doesn't look like its a popular one... Oh well, here's another idea anyways :P. I heard that the lobby was getting a recode (hopefully I'll only have to click Requiest once, not twice or thrice ^_^), so I thought, well, Soldat 1.2 is coming out too, so why not make players authenticate with the lobby? That way you could search for a player (might be a friend or someone you've heard of), and the lobby will ask all servers that have authenticated with it for that name. If the server returns a match it tells the lobby which tells the client. If we were to do this we could go even further. At the end of a battle, statistics are sent to the lobby. Player stats integrated into the game!

w00t nice idea... i like it :)

5 hugs for SAM! WoOOWOWOOOWOWOooo authentication is teh rawrbaration!

This sounds like it'd be a cool addition to the game. You can kind of use ASE now to 'find' a player just by highlighting the server. It will then list all of the players in the server and their scores.

yeah. but that's not making it very personalized. user profiles would be pretty cool :).
