One guy here made a Freenode room for RWR, but I'm more into Quakenet, it is more popular too.
The channel's name is #RWR , feel free to join and talk, or idle.

If you don't have an IRC client, you can join the chat here: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=rwr

Should be up 24/7, enjoy!

(pasik: EDIT: added the prefilled #rwr channel in the link)

As seen in practice with the discontinuity of logins on the IRC Channel (read: there's nobody :/),
I strongly recommend anyone to join and idle whenever their browser is up. Monsteri and I are cool and all.

Besides, maybe an actual shoutbox on the forums would solve that first problem.

I'm leaving a screen in there, I'll try to poll it every now and then if there's anything going on.

People should come, it's so empty The IRC is cool to find people to play with !

Also pasik is a very cool dev and answer all our annoying questions

I added a Chat-link on the main website at the top, which pre-fills in a random nickname and the #rwr channel for the webchat like this http://webchat.quakenet.org/?nick=RWR_G ... r&prompt=1. I'd say it's a handy way to find other players to play with or to join the channel just for some random blabber. (Thanks to MissDjax for the solution!)

Btw, thanks to the IRC-channel, we had a fun 2 vs 2 game (with bots) yesterday between a bunch of guys from USA and Europe. The server was in California so the lag in Germany and Finland was pretty challenging being around 240ms, but it didn't stop the Europe-team from winning, harhar Thanks for the game, guys.

In the future, will there be a match making type setup for multiplayer?

There will be a server browser in the future, to locate ongoing games to join more easily. Initially it'll just be a list of public servers to be viewed on the web for copy&pasting to the game to join a server, later the browsing will be integrated in the game.

As for handling a kind of leaderboard between players, no, I don't think such will be implemented. The plan can change though, if there's enough demand for such a feature.

There are so often (especially the last few days) people who join the IRC to ask a question and don't stay there for long, usually just a few minutes and leave before someone is there to answer the question.
Type the complete nickname of the channel operators or other people on the channel so that they get an alert that someone needs them as we aren't always paying attention to the IRC.
