This interests me also. In my experience it is very hard to play game of VTES online at a single go, and after the game has stalled its extremely hard to get all involved parties online at the same time again.

Yes the main problem is see people online at the same time, on lackey we use skype or msn to contact friends and play. If a massive number of players start to use lackey\octgn (like magic players) will be not hard to see players every time you enter but to vtes is very difficult.

I'll be hanging around at OCTGN lobby a lot in the future. Adding people to your OCTGN friends list would probably also help in arranging games.

Looking to lobby and game window of OCTGN is hard to find players. On lackey right now I see 12 people playing vtes.

I start to create vtes game on OCTGN due to dozen of bugs and limitations of lackey 3 years ago, time has past and lackey developer improve alot the program making it better than octgn. Octgn only have better and frendly interface and direct conection without firewall problems.

I'll probably not use OCTGN3 then. It doesn't have the versatility I need from my non-face-to-face VTES.
