I think this is another great way to get attention. I already had one guy watch for a while then ask what server it was, eventually saying he would check it out some time. And that's just with my own crappy lowest quality no sound broadcasting. I also think that sometimes someone comes to watch, then notices the quality and leaves immediately after... which means we need better quality broadcasts! So, why don't you all create an Xfire account, download the client and broadcast whatever runs you are doing on HG. Also, you should post on the forums somewhere if you are broadcasting something really awesome (like, for example, a 5 man nessus) anything, so other HG players can tune in and move the stream upwards in 'popularity', increasing the chances that non HGers check it out ("hey, this one got viewers. must be interesting"). www.xfire.com/

Is there a HG group on Xfire setup? I searched around a bit but had no luck. I know a few of us use it to contact each other while playing other games, nice if your short something for a run.

Have 7 people now, all DMs are bumped to full admin, bumped the rest to rank 2 which can do everything admin can do I think. Default is rank3, which is limited because it is an open group.
If you know other folks xfire accounts send out invites, i sent out a dozen or so this morning. Xfire definitely isn't what it used to be population wise.
I need to figure out how to get xfire to tell when i am playing NWN, since I use a modified .exe .

I just need to remember actually using Xfire. I always forget to open it and really dont like to put any extra software to open at startup, but the essential Anyone knows what is the minimum upload speed requirement to actually play and broadcast something without lag? My internet probably cant handle it tho... And was testing offline video recorder but it eats so much space, I recorded 20 seconds in horrible quality and it used near 200mb.

Just joined, good idea, now I just hope that my comodore 64 can handle playing and filming at something a bit faster than a turn based scenerio.

Bumpity bump.
Anyone figure out how to get Xfire to see you playing the game using the modified exe? I tried setting the path as the mod exe, but it wouldn't pick it up.

I actually think this would be a great way to market HG. If most runs were broadcasting and the feed was viewable from the homepage, so that a random live broadcasting LL or above run could be watched by anyone viewing the homepage...that would entice people.

Somebody actually tried that a few times, never got near enough people to pop it to the front page. But still, maybe someone will chance over it. As it is, you can't run a video feed unless your using the base .exe from what I can figure.

I think he meant viewable on the HG homepage, not the Xfire first page.
To give people that are already checking the page out a reason get interested in trying HG out rather than some dry reading about it that doesn't strike them and moving on.
