Online multiplayer, how popular??

[StringFellow]

I live in the US and I recently played the Paraworld demo and really liked what I played. However, recently there has been no online activity for the demo version.

How many players are usually playing the retail version? I have been looking at the dedicated server list on MySkulls.com and the list of servers appears to not be updating or the same 4 players have been playing the on the same server for the past 2 days.

Personally, I enjoy the online portion of an RTS game much more than the single player campaigns, but I don't want to pick up the game if there is never anyone playing around 12 midnight GMT, most nights.

I have been burned way too many times with RTS games where no one is ever online to play with. And since this appears to be another non-mainsteam game, I want to make sure I know what I am getting into.

Thanks

I wondered about the MP part too (still have to check it out);
my guess is that it needs some time to kick off.

Usually, when you open a server yourself or keep looking for one, you'll find an opponent within a few minutes. Nevertheless, we're currently working on a lobby update that'll make match-making way easier and it'll be incorporated through one of the updates to come. If you don't mind using IRC, come to #myskulls and #esl.pw on Quakenet, because plenty of players are hanging around there, too.
