the number of games played on FAF each day should be visible

Postby SeraphimLeftNut » 08 Jul 2014, 07:20

Not sure if this has been suggested before or if it is difficult to implement this.

Based on replay#, the average number of games hosted per day on FAF has been ~3500 over the last month.

It would be nice to have this value, number of games hosted on FAF today, on the front page of www.faforever.com.

It's the first time someone asked for that without redoing the whole website and/or lobby and/or asking to output an insane amount of stats with graphs,.....

simple yet informative,
I like it !
good addition.

I am surprised by the number of ladder games, I assumed that number would be higher.

I find that insulting when a game is stating me the obvious ("press X to open the door" the 20th time I see a door).

And in case you have to fight against the argument that most people on FAF don't play, the stat displays players that play a game, not people who join the chat to chill out.

Thank you Zep. This is exactly what I was hoping to see, except better. I think this will help draw new players.
The only way to improve this, is to add "Setons played last hour" section. Forget graphs, those are not as good as numbers.
