Press Follow on any player’s page to hear, through the bell, when they start playing, unlock an achievement or are MVP. Following a player only needs an account. Press Follow on a server’s page to be told when it gets busy; following servers needs a verified name. Unfollow with the same button.
Follow a player
- Sign in. Any account can follow players. You don’t need to verify your name first.
- Open the player’s page from the players page or search.
- Press Follow. It changes to “Following”. Press it again to unfollow.
The player page shows how many followers a player has. Players don’t get told who follows them.
Follow a server
- Verify your name. Following servers is for verified players. See How to verify your name.
- Open the server’s page from the server list.
- Press Follow. You’ll get a “Game on” notification when it gets busy, at most once every 6 hours.
See who you follow
My SoF2 lists the players and servers you follow, with who’s online now. The bell’s “Online now” section shows followed players who are playing.
If you don’t want followers to know when you play
On the notifications page, tick “Don’t alert my followers about my games”. Your friends still hear.
Questions
What’s the difference between following and friends?
Following is one-way and needs only an account. Friends is two-way, between verified players, and both have to agree. See Friends.
Is there a limit on how many I can follow?
No limit you’re likely to reach.
