Hi guys, I just wanted to make another thread as a build-on to the thread I made last year about the catatonic Aussie community. This is an personal appeal to anybody who might want to listen about how much I miss this game.
We are dead. Fully dead. At 8pm on weekends one is lucky to see 20 players on. I haven't even launched this game in Steam for OVER 6 MONTHS, as we have no players. I don't even log on Steam anymore, because RO2/RS was the only game I cared to play (besides a tad bit of Insurg/PAYDAY 2).
With RS2 around the corner, I think the idea of an RO2 freebie might make good sense. It would certainly breathe some life into the long-dead RO2, and get everyone super hyped for RS2. I have 900 hours in RO2, and no other shooter I have ever played is half as interesting. Not one manages to be nearly as fun as RO2. All of them feel samey, vapid, laggy, and have dumb arcadey mechanics (bullet spread, bullet-sponge characters, hitscan detection, etc...). I say this because I have been trying to play some other shooters after RO2 died, and I cannot enjoy any of them.
Please, please, please consider the idea of putting up RO2 as a freebie. I miss this game so much. If I were an oil sheikh I'd buy thousands of copies and give them out for free to make sure this game wouldn't die. But it is dead, and it will stay dead forever unless Tripwire does something about it.
