It has been been 2-3 years since the HF Official Rooms were taken down. Since then, the player population started decreasing dramatically. Until eventually almost no one played the game. Unfortunately creating rooms is not an easy task for most players, making the official rooms - ie. rooms that are open 24/7 - invaluable.

Thanks to @Lord Silva, having "official" rooms in Europe again became a possibility - at no cost. All I had to do was reprogram the Room Server in C++, in a lightweight fashion, so that it would work on his Linux server without consuming too much resources (RAM and CPU).

So, at this moment, and thanks to @zlyfer, @mfc and @mdsrv, we have 24/7 rooms back in Europe again! They have not yet been tested enough, so any bug reports are greatly appreciated (aside from lag which is relatively normal).

If you know of anyone who owns a linux/windows server and does not mind to run a few rooms 24/7, please let me know. USA, China, Australia, Brazil... they all need 24/7 servers.

Specs (on Ubuntu 16.04, compiled with g++ 5.4, with 5 rooms in 1 process):

• less than 25 MiB RAM
  
• 1-2% CPU (on i3)
  
• 2 listening TCP ports per room
  
• 4 maximum clients (connections) per room
  
• 11 threads per room + main thread
  

I have 2 rooms running on a Raspberry Pi 3 without any issues. They consume negligible resources.

Curiosity:

Since 9th June, these are the current statistics on the Berlin rooms usage:


The Berlin rooms are the most popular ones, so we can safely assume that there are approximately 23 active online players and 85 casual players, with the rest being inactive or curious.

Then see if I can update the game in my leisure time. Making game is a non-profit work. If it's for fun, that would be cool. If that's for a living, I will be doomed.

A new module at the main site with random "Did you know?" phrases has been implemented. Any suggestions for new phrases are greatly appreciated! Even stupid ones. :p

Just think of any random HF curiosity and comment below!

Why I can't register anymore in hero fighter? I tried now, on 2016.7.21 and it didn't work for me. What is the Problem? Can anyone help me?
