The game changes once a year. It has been completely possible to leave the game for 75% of the season, come back near the end, and top easily in just a handful of big tournaments. 'Quickly' cease to be a highly ranked player? Highly doubtful.

ELO hasn't been mentioned by LordZardeck.

And I'd still take ELO over nothing. Every system is flawed.

Until I am able to find a free/extremely cheap VPS service, I will not be able to work on this project. I am terribly sorry.

Have you looked at OpenShift?

Right now there is no support for Node.js on openshift, although they are planning on adding it soon.

Stinks. What about the free tier at heroku? Sorry, you would need worker dynos also, wouldn't you?

May be okay again. My parent's so kindly decided to allow me to create an aws account under their name and credit card. If everything works out, we should have this for a year

Ok, i figured everyone should hear the latest update:

I have been able to create a new CloudServer that falls under the free usage tier. Saturday and yesterday I worked hard and tirelessly on creating a lobby system for RTS. With SomeKittens help, i'm glad to say, RTS NOW HAS A LOBBY SYSTEM AND NO LONGER REQUIRES HAMACHI. Now while the server code is completely ready and tested, i'm going to continue working on making the lobby user interface as user friendly as possible. Hopefully it will be ready by today for public use. I will release an official preview video on YouTube sometime today and will announce the public release of the lobby here. If you are free today to help with testing, pm me with what times you'll be available. I can be free just about any time.

Amen!

Also, I can now play in class!

This sounds promising.

When it's available for use, I'll try to use it for a few games so that I can update the RTS guide.

Also, if the system works well enough, I wonder if it'd be possible to have it hosted on the cactus website itself.

Not likely. Unless they're paying for VPS hosting which would be a waste for their current use.

It's live, but until i have some testing done, i'm not deeming it "Stable".

SomeKittens · « **Reply #40 on:** January 23, 2012, 02:39:44 PM »

Yay, closed Beta. It works well, but I doubt Rob will be hosting it. He doesn't even host RTS itself.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #41 on:** January 24, 2012, 11:30:16 PM »

Lobby Publicly released. see first post.

I don't understand how to use this. How do you create an account to log in?

Go to the Redemption Connect main page and make an account there first then try signing in at the play site he posted.

galadgawyn · « **Reply #44 on:** January 25, 2012, 01:30:16 AM »

I think that I am doing that. It has a gray box with a red background. It says something about being worked on. I click on the button to create an account and nothing happens.

If I'm doing something wrong or I'm not on the right page, etc. let me know. I don't see where else to go.

Lord Zardeck, I'm sure you've been told this before, but your recent contributions to the online Redemption community have been great. It's wonderful to have someone motivated and talented getting things done to improve card design, online play, and more. Please keep up the excellent work!

galadgawyn · « **Reply #46 on:** January 26, 2012, 03:40:58 PM »

still not working for me. I can't login or create an account. Are there some step by step instructions or reasons why it might not be working?

lp670sv · « **Reply #47 on:** January 26, 2012, 03:42:27 PM »

you should just be able to go to Redemptionconnect.com and register. ignore the pop up and exit out of it then on the top right where it says login/create account just click that and select create account.

You can create an account here: http://redemptionconnect.com/players/add. Then once your account is created, click the sites link on the top bar. A menu will drop down. Then select Play!

That is what I was doing but when I got to create account nothing happened. The new link that Zardeck provided seemed to work just fine.
