are there a few players?

Post by Darsey »

Hello.

I am new in this server. I read about it, that there are a live games of pro, Gibo... And I finish thinking that this server is great. But when I can play with ease, I can't find opponent.

For example, I am trying play now (I put that I am 12kyu, I checked ranks comparason) and I only see that there are 6 players. I know that if I will try play in some time more popular in Korea, I should play. I must say that I connect with a tablet across his app, in case there is a problem in it.

Is there a problem with app or WBaduk isn't popular like IGS?

Which server are you connected to? You may need to switch servers, Korea I, Korea II, China I, etc.

I discovered that there are servers :lol: .

I was in "WBaduk 1". Is it the less popular server? I check that there are near of 150 player in it now and near of 1400 in Korea 1, 920 in Korea 2, 650 in Japan 1, 1270 in China 1...

When you play since computer, are there different servers or this is like "rooms" in KGS? I can play only with tablet, but I want ask for when I can play with a computer (I must format).

Korea I and II are the servers with most players (China I and II are a close second I think).

I don't think you can be connected to several servers at the same time, so in this way it is different from KGS rooms.

On the desktop client there are still different servers.

It's easy enough to switch between them, but I suppose it makes it hard to follow your favorite players around. Sometimes servers get full during peak hours and don't allow new users to log in (except possibly paid accounts have priority).
