Hey guys,
So, its Friday night, and there are 4 custom games up. This game is dead, better get a refund before its too late.
its only dead if you can't find a game or players to join your own. Everytime I log on to play the entire game list is always full or nearly full. And it normally doesn't take me more than 5 minutes to get a game of any size launched.
For those that do not keep up with the news. SD has done the research and has stated that the game will peak in sales and player base sometime in August, unless they do something about it. And guess what, they are.
What got in my face? Did you threw in my face a fact that SD knew the games connections were shit and still went ahead to release the game? I can easily wipe that shit off my face and sling it on SD and all other fanboys who defend them, if what you say is true.
SO IN YOUR FACE! Think before you give me more shit to throw around

WOW! You're awesome!
you can't read
another IN YOUR FACE
you boast open beta, your point was wrong, i win
IN MY FACE SUCKA! uh... what's this thread about again? NEENER NEENER NEENER
Anyway, it is a small community. If it gets bigger, then super. I'm even finding myself getting bored with it though and I've been a bit of a fanboy for awhile. Plus, knowing the stat reset is forthcoming (someday, maybe before the end of the month, possibly maybe), I don't really care about them. I'm still wondering if favor is getting reset with the stats but the pubs are tight lipped about that as well. I probably should take a break from this frustration fest though... I logged in tonight to start playing at 9:40pm ET and of course, there was a 20 minute server outtage... meh. Par for the course. Glad they've got the game this far though. I wonder if I'd have the same level of interest if the games launch and following weeks were so painful.
In regards to small player base... Tribes1 was one of the ultimate games ever made and its player base was relatively very small. The game was release eons ago and still people play it till today. Same goes for Quake1.
Pot meet kettle.
The problems we've been having with multiplayer connectivity since about 1 week after release until the latest patch had nothing to do with server overload or the game being pirated.
The specific change which they did in the last patch which dramatically improved it for everyone was an adjustment of the MTU size in the network code, which is for connections between players and nothing to do with their servers.
Specifically
This is something which would have shown up in an openbeta. Even frogboy agrees now that an open beta is what they should have done (as if it aint bleedin obvious) as the beta was tested almost exclusively within the US where these problems obviously didnt show up. You really are making yourself look a bit silly telling people to do research.
Actually, a smaller list of games would mean that everyone is playing the game - a full list means too many people are making games and there aren't enough people to fill them. Not to mention this doesn't really take into consideration the Pantheon or Skirmish matches, and those legit games being played over GameRanger by people still experiencing connection issues.
Also, Friday night in America isn't Friday night everywhere else in the world - your peak time isn't everyone else peak time. Whenever I go to play the game I have a game up and running in less than 5 minutes - 10 if I restrict my play to Custom Games for Australian's only. If your experience is incredibly different to this perhaps it's time to start asking what you're doing wrong on your end.
I'm guessing you also post on the World of Warcraft forum, with threads usually titled '[Insert Game Change Here] has killed World of Warcraft'? I might be wrong though.
You must have done a lot of work to come up with that post. I bet you watched a lot of retarded people, spend time with them, observed them and watch all the retarded stuff they did. At times you probably felt like you really were retarded, really stupid. But you made a mistake, everybody knows you should never go full retard. You go full retard, you go home empty handed. I win.
clearly you know you were wrong, im glad you learned
Friday night was always the most quiet day on WOW, so I'm not surprised by this.
Clearly you are still in character.
no i am not, just trying to let you walk away
it's fun to get trolls mad, cause you know, its the opposite of what they wanted
