Multiplayer practically empty??

from Sins Forums
    Ok, granted it's 1:30 EST, but there are like 9 people in the lobby and no open games....

It does say 173 people are online, but I don't see 'em....

Still, a 'hugely popular' game like this I would expect thousands perhaps to be online?  And dozens of open games starting up aroudn the clock....

Is Sins multiplayer dead before it started???

Where are all the points/ladders/etc????

Seriously, I'm not trolling, just stunned...

ICO sucks in general, hence not many play on it.

Sins MP does suck but they are meant to be fixing it in the 1.1 patch :D

There are 9 people waiting for a game. The rest of the 173 people are inside games. Ive suggested to Ironclad that the people in-game should be shaded grey so that the ICO lobby doesnt look so lonely.

I know a lot of people that play over Hamachi rather than using ICO, simply because it's what they use for most other games with their friends the company stopped providing a server for (like Home World 2 C&C Tiberian wars)so it's just as easy for them to play over Hamachi as it is to log in and put up with the trolling/spamming/flame wars you find in 90% of the online game rooms.
