You didn't mention which hub entry is having the problem. We need the actual hub entry link, not a name. Please be thorough when you post your bug reports.
I can sortof attest to this.
For a while, when Artemis didn't have a world.status, it seemed to show no players online, continually, even though there clearly were plenty of us logged on. Now that a world.status has been added, though, it seems to have gone away.
Looking at his hub, it seems to be a similar case. Although, the search page seems to show differently.
It happens to about half the game hubs I come across.
Why is this marked as unverified?
Should be easily replicable (if not fixable) by hosting a game with no world.status
Yeah, sorry this slipped under the cracks. I did a test that seemed to confirm the world.status theory (although it was a bit iffy since I had some other problems). Our reports of this are just in this last month... does anyone know if this problem has been happening for a long time or if it's just in recent versions? The hope is that it is hub-side and not some new bug in reporting from the server or pager. We will take a look.

If I recall correctly, the issue has been present since about 456, maybe a bit earlier. I'm trying to remember when Iain first started to show artemis..
