Hi there, welcome The time we played today is the time usually there's players online. I recommend trying out gTray for monitoring servers:http://miasma.org/index.php/topic,453.msg2953.html
Yeah there is. You can write game server status to a file and display file contents in DesktopInfo.This feature of DesktopInfo has a bug however. I'll contact the dev, maybe he can fix it.It works most of the time though, I'll send you my solution
