unless its from the US

I live in Korea, I never hid that fact - though you wouldn't probably know it if you didn't read my posts - and really why would you lol :)

I did ask if they go by current IP address and added my edited when I saw the words used was: 'plays from.' And then asked if we could perhaps put home country on.

Though it would be interesting to see what happens when I use Hola or a VPN :)

Fizzer , fix the inacurracys before April plz

How about making it the size of the clan tag, and post it in the same format?

anyway, neat feature :)

Checked all my games. Two things:

1) looked to be accurate from what I know about people on here.

2) There are even more people from Poland on here than I knew about.

@CHRIS , thats due to ads there

I am in the uk for a month and now I'm british according to WL. If only it were so easy :)

Good job!

What does the "last seen ** minutes ago" base on? Is it last time committed orders in a game?

now it will be easier to guess alts

Brisk people have used other ways to find nationality... Flag counters are the most common tool of alt hunters.



By the way, excellent add Fizzer!!

@banana
did you read the blog post?


“Last seen” on profiles

Player’s profiles now have a line that says “last seen”, and indicates how recently they accessed any part of WarLight.

This replaces the old “inactive for” line. The old line only appeared once a player was inactive for more than a few days, and this activity was only based on how recently they entered orders into a multi-player game. That meant it was very inaccurate for people who didn’t play multi-player, such as those who only played single-player or only chatted on the forums.

One profile doesn't show any flag? Have they used Tor/masked IP? Or does the flag show after the play has been online again?

I have also seen a profile without a flag.

give it some time to update.

Hong Kong Pride!

One profile doesn't show any flag?

For some accounts, (especially old ones), their flag won't appear until a few hours after they play the game for the first time after the 2.08 update.

If still no flag appears, then there's two possibilities: Either they're playing from a country that I didn't enter a flag for (there's a few small ones, like Antarctica that I didn't bother with), or the IP-to-country program I used didn't know where they were.

Great update. Please leave it as where playing from. I'm looking forward to suspected alts playing whilst on holiday from both accounts.

Mystery man! You are British! We should start hanging out.

I highly doubt anyone plays from Antarctica, Fizz

Cool new feature though, and the "last seen" thing will make it easier to see who is online for real time games

One of the accounts with no flag is very new, though was only active a day ago.
