A lot of how people know about this forum and Wipeout Arena, and have subsequently been introduced to each other is by random online race encounters and messaging previously never met people by using the "Players Met" feature.

I've been online several times lately, but the last time I was able to contact anybody new via this method in HD was on the 7th of May, no new players raced have been updated to the Players Met list since that date.

Is this a blanket problem with HD now? or is it a region isolated problem that I might have to bring to the attention of the Aus/NZ area of the PSN?
