[mash]

ye and u still like replying to my bullshit.

Another "rune is dead"-thread. Ive got used to them by now.

Usually its players that stopped playing that has some urge to post that Rune is dead. Sometimes they return after a few months and say its the best game ever and that its far ffrom dead.

Roger that. There are still quite many players that visits this board. Not many posts though.

I agree Rune gets more inactive with time. But as long as there are servers and a few players I wouldnt call it dead. Rune will never be what it once was. But its not dead.

But when will Rune die then? A couple of years ago I was quite sure Rune would be dead by now. Will it survive another 2-3 years? Who will the last active players/admins/developers be?

I had some problems with the Rotarena server earlier today. A bit later the problem was solved and the server has been up for 5-6 hours now.
In that time there has been 42 player entries and over 1500 frags on the server.

To me thats enough activity to say that Rune is still alive and kicking!

[mash]

rune was active when there were clanwars and flamewars. now its just quiet daily frag games:)

Guess that was helluva coincidence, Shex, I doubt those statistics apply on a regular basis.

But yeah, Rune never died and ain't dead now either, it's just a matter of whether more or less people drop by. So Rune sometimes had those lows where a few ppl played, and when someone thought it finally died another interval of higher activity began.

I don't think Rune is dead because there is no cws and flame shit, BUT it's less more attractive and not even half as much fun.

NO entertaining shit to read on the boards? Then just go in-game for some competition! Oh wait, there's almost no competition since there's simply no CWs!

So the only cool things I do atm is to own the shit out of noobs or regular players, or chat for the lulz.

So it's good there's still some bloody FFAs, but with a lack of wars Rune just lost most of its competitive aspect which I think is quite important in multiplayer games.


PS.: I'm actually gonna rent a server again in September and encourage some clans to cw, so it's not like I'm whining but doing nothing. Nigga please.

Thats why you should start playing again. And make sure to bring some of that action when you do.
It's way too calm and quite in the community these days.

Wtf! Schh...
Here I am painting the most lovely picture of the current situation in Rune. And you come here pissing on it! ;D

I have to admit I got a bit surprised when I checked todays activity on the server. Thats what I like with the Rotarena server. If you are the first one to join when its empty you usually wont have to wait for long until another player enters. And all of a sudden the server is full for a couple hours.
I've got many complains for running same map 24/7. But I actually think it's a positive thing.
It's pointless to join an empty server thats currently running Thorstadt. Cause those big maps arn't fun before there are 5+ players playing. So you will probably be alone on the server until it changes map (hopefully it's smaller).
I dont believe servers with large maps and 20-30 mins time limit works in a small community like this.

The community has changed so much through these years. Not only the size. Today there is a lot more bitching and whining from the players on the servers. Not the same atmosphere playing Rune these days. Of course there are also games that are great fun with a lot of LoL's. But not as often as it used to be.

I remember when good players often showed new players how to play.
Today its more common seeing a couple of experienced players talking about how inactive Rune has become. And if a new player should enter the server they will own him so hard and laugh at him and call him Noob. I dont think that will help motivating the 'noob' to keep playing.
Ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit. But you get the point.

Some CW's and tourneys would sure be nice. Its up to us remaining players to decide what we should do to get more excitment.

Its nice to hear you are getting a server and try to get some action, Zyro. Server from AoWC?


And btw...
Trouble, where are you? Shouldnt you be here talking. We are in a flow!

[Zyroloth]

Heh, the Rotarena server is actually quite popular, ppl seem to like it and so do I. I guess it is, because arenas have become more popular since the last year or so.
And yeah, I agree with your point with big maps as Thorstadt.

But I gotta say that although the bitching and whining is still present, it decreased compared to the time I came around (end 2004).

You're right with your point 'bout new players being laughted at or ignored. I admit, I sometimes act arrogant as well, but that's partly thanks to the newbs' own ignorance and arrogance. But I mostly stfu or get high and talk shit when playing.


Yep, I thought about trying AoWC again.

There are many great maps that cant be used for that reason. Sad.

For many years I followed that old Chinese saying: "Stfu and play to avoid negative energy.". It works great.

Yep, I thought about trying AoWC again.

The AoWC servers in Amsterdam had serious issues for a long time. But after some upgrade they did awhile ago they seem to have solved it. At least I havnt heard any complains since then.

Hehe! Busy weekend:)
I actually agree on you hosting a server with only rotarena is good. i did switch the map sometimes when alot of players wanted it. we played 1 map of bothvar for example.

I'm too lazy to quote the other thing u said, but i will be the last developer soon untill someone else creates a new map, cause there is a new one incoming very soon
