My question is "What is you vision for the future? A lot of title packs or title packs only when it's a technical necessity ?".

Right now, I think that it's difficult for a player to understand why some gamemodes are in the main title pack and why some titles are in custom title packs.

There is a top ranking on Storm, that will mainly be Battle, Siege and eventually Realm one day if it becomes popular. But you need a specific ranking for 1vs1, 3vs3, Royal (since it is FFA) obstacle (a little like platform of TM) etc. If Melee were popular, it would benefit of having it's own title. This is for the example of rankings.

As for datas, you can think of it as applications and web page. I tend to see "on the fly" custom things as web page, and "titles" as applications, requirement installation first, updates, custom stable rankings etc. The title pack creator is the owner of the ranking and we shall try to provide tools to customize it more.

Meanwhile, each title requires ressources for our server per player: clouding of saves, persitent profile data, title clouding, downloading rankings, tracking etc. So we are trying to limit the number of active titles per players. It is a little like the saving slot of PS1 cartridges.

These are the logics behind, but even if you probably know all of this, I can't tell how the future will be (happily I think) to really answer your question.

I'm curious, do the statistics include time spent playing solo tracks, building in the editor, and generally doing stuff that is not on multiplayer servers?

Also, I had merged this post from a different topic, but it ended up on the previous page here, so you might have missed it:

Thank you for the feedback eyebo,indeed I had'nt seen it.

I wished to watch today to confirm, but logically, it is when a player 'enter' a title (from the station to the main menu of it) to the exit. So it includes all things like solo, editor & multiplayer

And the time in the menu afk?

there is a limit per player
