some numbers wrt topic:
In last 24h there was 147 matches.
Of those 36 matches were without bots.
Of those 22 were in public rooms.
Of those maybe 10 look like they would have been worth playing. (not 4-minutes-supershort, no silly map, even teamnumbers..I think this criteria are not unreasonable)
Spread over 24h that is thin.
Clusterfuck used to be the go-to option if you 'just want to play' but this friday there was not even clusterfuck.
Appearently it has evolved into clusterfuck-compstomp.

Downvotes on the delivery aside, the underlying point is an issue - playerbase is shrinking.

This does sound promising. Should ZK wait for a "nicer" linux lobby before this?

Weblobby ( http://weblobby.springrts.com/ ) works fine, and should be easy to package.

That may have something to do with a drop in player activity since some of us are trying not to rip out our hair while screaming about espresso

I feel your pain, even high schoolers have semester exams :P

is wesnoth really something to aspire to, i don't know anyone who's played it in like 10? years

How ironic that ZK's name itself alludes to the fact that the entire universe will suffer this exact fate. Steam release or not.
