Well , Multi-Player does need to get more noticeable , isn't the fact that no one wants to play it... It has not really been updated nor improved any at all

New ranking system would be nice
Maybe advertise on the front page of ffr to promote Multi-player
Fix a few flaws in Multi-player ( glitches and what not)
I think another issues with Multi-player is that some people
can't actually play MP due to lagging possibly... Since you are having more then
1 person in a room at a time. But you can't really fix lag , it will always happen but I am sure you could tweak a few things in the system but you should be fine as long you are using flash adobe player standalone.

Re: Current state of MP, and thoughts to revive it.

I somewhat agree with the people here, but I'd suggest making multiplayer less conspicuous first of all.

You can try putting in a multi/singleplayer selection screen, so more people will be aware that it even exists. This also influences people to play more MP. It is also imperative to create an option to play SP games while in a MP room.

Try making it so that playing in the MP lobby is almost the same as playing in SP, so more people play in the lobby. Making a full screen MP option can be a good step in doing so.

You can also try putting an FFR demo on sites like kongregate again. Those sites have good communities - lots of people will play MP. Have kongregate give you some medals for achievements in the game, and it'll be popular.

Also, wasn't there a rumor about a MP event happening soon? I feel like I read that somewhere.

i think psychoangel mentioned a MP tourney in a thread awhile back, and i would love to play in one. Maybe an " FFR Official Multi-Player Tournament 1 " is in the works for the future?

once velo codes MP for r^2, i'll be on it all the time!

^ This, but with r^3

I'd be in there all the time if MP was on that engine.

R.I.P mp

Re: Current state of MP, and thoughts to revive it.

Good times indeed ;__;

Also IMO, I think profile chat ruined MP activity XD

Think about it, when FFR was down, pretty much everything was not working and MP was one of the things that remain unfixed for a while and profile chat was like the next best thing to go chat with other FFR members and once Velocity updated the code and added more features to profile chat, it then became the new "chat room" and MP was abandoned even after it was fixed.

R.I.P XD

Lag-less MP is possible.

If MP was back to what it used to be like I'd be on it all the time.
