HWS Online Players · HWS Guide | HWS Connect⁺

HWS Connect has two pages about players: Online Players shows who is in game right now, and Player Stats is your own character sheet.

🌐 Online Players

👉 HWS Connect → HWS Community → Online Players (NA players: /rn/online)

One table per server of your pair (HWS+ RE EU and HWS+ RE NA), the server you are viewing comes first
Name, faction and actions. Online Players never shows where a player is; for Wanted players, see the Hunter Board
A gold crosshair next to a name means that player has a bounty. Click it to jump to the Hunter Board
Sort, filter by name and export the tables. The list refreshes every 30 seconds (pause or refresh with the controls)
Viewing the list needs no login

ℹ️ The data can lag up to about a minute, so a player who just logged in may take a moment to appear.

👁️ Watch list (HWS Survivor+)

Get a notification the moment a player logs in:

Click Watch a player and enter the exact name, or click the eye in a player's row
Watched players appear as chips in the Watch list panel. Click a chip to stop watching
Turn on Browser notifications to get notified even with the tab closed
Your watch list is saved to your account and shared with the Hunter Board and Settings → Players (up to 100 players)

🎯 Bounty alerts (free)

Turn on Bounty alerts to get notified whenever a player with a bounty on their head logs in.

Click the ⋯ menu of an online player:

Action	What it does	Tier
🗨️ Whisper Player	Sends a private in-game whisper (same as `cb:w:Name:Message`)	HWS Survivor+
💰 Send Credits	Sends Elemental Bank credits (same as `eb:send:Name:Amount`). More info in the Elemental Bank guide	HWS Survivor+
🎯 Set Bounty	Places a bounty on the player. It then shows on the Hunter Board	everyone

You must be signed in. Amounts: 1 to 1,000,000,000 credits. Whispers: up to 256 characters
In-game names are case sensitive. Names can't contain ":"

🧑‍🚀 Player Stats

👉 HWS Connect → Player Info → Player Stats

Your own character sheet on that server:

Faction, name, Entity Id, Origin and location (links to the playfield on the HWS Universe map)
Deaths, PvP deaths, PvP kills, HWS DNA, player credits, EB credits, playtime (hover for the hours since the last wipe) and the date of your last cb:reset
Character bars: health, food, stamina, oxygen, body temperature and radiation. Health, food and stamina show how base value, skills and survival add up
Your Inventory: a read-only view of your backpack and toolbelt with sorting. "Not live · stored …" means you see the last stored state (e.g. because you are offline)
The Player PDA button sends common commands for you: starter ship spawn, cb:info, cb:time, whisper, o:info, o:supply and cb:reset (asks for confirmation, it wipes everything you have on that server!)

💉 Stimpacks

Want more health, food or stamina? Stimpacks raise your maximum of a stat for a limited time. Click Health, Food or Stamina in the Character panel to see the offers:

Paid with credits and HWS DNA, applied to your character immediately
Prices, amounts and durations can differ per server and change over time. The page always shows the current ones

❓ Common Questions

"That feature is a Patreon perk.": watching players, whispering and sending credits need HWS Survivor+.
No login notification? Keep the page open or turn on Browser notifications, and allow notifications for the site in your browser. Only logins after the page loaded are announced.
"The HWS online list is unavailable": the data source didn't answer. Empty tables then mean "unknown", not "nobody online".
PvP kills differ from the Kill Board? Player Stats shows your own counters. The Kill Board shows the season's top 10.
