So both have to use v6, so that idling is shown in playerlist? v5 doesn't change into that mode, or did I get you wrong?

The idling icon works for me and I'm on v5. Unless I somehow stealth installed v6 but I don't think so...

edit: wait whatever i dont know which version im on. i have the idling icon whatever

It's not about the idling icon itself. I just see no reason why this "fake playercount" should be allowed at all. It doesn't represent the real playercount. Whenever I log on, to play or chat a bit (or whatever), I have to realize, that noone's there.
In fact it's a "10 sec checklogon" if anyone is here. That function is pointless and irritating especially to new players, who think they get no response because they're noob. It should be an active server, and not simply a chatroom, where you idle.

I don't see how this is an issue. The idling icon is pretty clear. You log on and see a bunch of idlers? Log off if you don't like it. It takes 10 seconds of your time to log on and check the playerlist. There are bigger issues than idlers to worry about.

As far as I know, both players need v6—but v6 will be mandated soon anyway.
