Player List Window
If you are floating free in the Pyrosphere you will see the names
of every player present in your Zone.  You can
click on a player's name to see where that player is.
 
With each player handle you may see some or all of the following information, and might look like this:
   devo12
 
  indicates that the player failed the network setup diagnostics and
may be fire-walled.  No fire-walled player will be
able to function as the Battle Master i.e. the server
in a multi-player game.  In short, battles will be more robust the fewer players are
fire-walled.  If you are fire-walled yourself, look for battles where most of your opponents
are not.
 
If you see the   icon next to your name, but don't think that you are
actually fire-walled, run the setup diagnostics again (from the Windows Start Menu).  If you are still fire-walled,
consider contacting your Network Administrator or Internet Service Provider.
 
  indicates that the player does not have the NetStorm CD currently in 
his or her CD-Rom drive.  Note: Unless half or more of the players in a Challenge
Ring have the CD in their CD-Rom drives, the battle cannot be started.
 
  indicates the player's Rank.
 
devo12 is an example of a player's handle name
