Is anyone online ... ever?
In the past two days I've been trying to get an online game going. I can sit in random matchup for 5 minutes with nothing happening at all even though I have all boxes ticked off. I have added everyone in the friend code list but no one is ever online. Is the online part really this dead? I just came back from Japan and the game was pretty hyped up over there, so I'm surprised that no one ever seems to be online.
yeah i been slapping the people in this section trying to wake them up and i dont even have the game.
People have been playing together. However, organizing the game is a little unusual. Also, if you haven't posted your friend code to the list and been included, you wont see them since they have to add you.
However, the best way to organize us together is getting on the irc client. The topic for the IRC network and channel to connect to is right on the first page of the topics. It's sort of the replacement of not having the typical lobby system. This is what some have done, so far.
Well I actually managed to get a random game going, so at least now I know there's nothing wrong with my setup.
P.S. My code is in the list. Thanks for the IRC tip. It's not very practical for me, but that's not your fault! :P
I saw that. So yeah, we're off and on. Problem is, it's very easy to play an online game, and menu out of online right afterwards and thus you aren't seen. We use irc for a more persistent (online) appearance. You'll almost always see people on efnet.org channel #ps0. However, people might be AFK at times.
that's odd, i been getting random people just fine, but sometimes it disconnects me i don't know why
Actually, the question was more for the friends not for the randoms. (eg. The friends formed using the stickied friends-code topic) The topic was about finding when they are on. I simply mentioned the irc channel as an easier way to see when one of us is on since that provides more persistent information about when we're on and looking for friend parties.
random people usualy take me 30-60 seconds to find a game =/ u need to play when other people are. And i find playing with friends no problem either, since we organise our games or find them on chats.
add me I will play with you

Thanks everyone. Managed to get a few friends games going, too, but people got disconnected frequently. Getting a random game takes many minutes and sometimes just doesn't happen. Doesn't seem to be easy to just jump on and play if you want a quick round whether it is with friends or randoms. Anyway, now I know everything's working. That was the most important part.
