Country Identification

[Emily_W]

Hi,

Is there a way of creating a 'join a game section' where we can indicate where we are in the world? I ask, because much as I love the fact that we can play with people millions of miles away, sometimes I like faster games, where I don't have to wait for someone in the US to take their turn in the middle of the night. I'm sure I can't be the only one to think this way.

It would not stop me playing with people from other countries in any way, shape, or form, but it would allow games to be set up that can be played in real-time if wanted!

I hope that all made sense...

what if lack could set up real time "servers" like in the join a game section, a section could be Real time (added to Private and Public part). I suppose you coulld click real time and find all the people who want a real time match. That could also maybe be done for something like, US, EUROPE, ASIA, type of thing.

Just a thought, I'm really tired, So I hope you all get what I mean, might not have made complete sense.

Great idea Emily.
That's what I think of all the time!
Its oke to play with everyone allround the world, but it well sure speed up the gameplay if I would play with only dudes from Europe in my situation. Im a dutch guy.
Anyway I would realy like some realtime posibilities too!

Well good bye and have a nice eavining/morning/afternoon hahahaah

i think the idea to have a realtime server is awesome, but i don't know enough about it to know the time/effort involved in setting something like that up. It would be pretty sweet, though.

I like the idea of the realtime thing maybe he could put a section by join a game saying join an rt game and if it is not started within the hour or so it gets deleted

Has been suggested before and the gist of what I posted then is that it doesn't matter if people are in the same time zone, people still play at different times. Some before/after work, some during work, some during lunch/breaks, some after school, etc. Its interesting in theory but it probably won't have as great a benefit as you think.
