I know... I got many people saying this is good, and it's going to be successful, and addictive and so on, but then only a few people showed up in the channel... and unfortunately for them not always at the same time.
The next big thing that is going to happen in Charlie's Arena is the introduction of user profiles. The game will request the creation of a user profile. The username and a password will be registered with the server. This will ensure that every player will have a unique username. Moreover any time you create a party or a character, the game will connect to the server and get a unique identifier for that object. The purpose is to record statistics about players, their parties and characters and show some rankings. Something like "who's the highest-level archer", "which is the highest-average-level party", "which party has won most battles" and things like that. Week- or month-top parties or players could get some kind of bonus. Suggestions are also welcome.
For the moment the server will not save the complete parties data but in the future it could, and then it will be possible to use it for restoring accidentally deleted accounts (which means accidentally deleted savefile).
