How is this mod doing?

[Muhad]

I was wondering how the game is doing?
Are there lots of players?
Does it run well?

Its not a mod anymore.
There are enough players for my tast, I even liked it more when there were less like in the mod.
It runs well on good comps.

Well its gaining in popularity thats for sure.
Been watching it on Game Spy stats over the past few weeks.
To create a trend line I always checked in the evenings (most popular gaming time).
A few weeks ago it hovered between 20th and 18th place.
Now it's around 14th place and gone as high as 12th.
Judge for yourself.

And its not the QUANTITY of players thats important , it's the QUALITY.

And so far the RO community is leaps and bounds ahead of so many of the other so called "popular" games.

I'm with Kong....the mod days were better from my point of view.

Not as satisfying killing a team of ROPlayers when you used to play, essentially, huge mixed clan matches every night.

And I liked the feel of the mod more...had its problems for sure but it just had that something in it that made it so great. Its almost non-existent now, for me anyways. Now RO is just....RO. In the mod it was more like RO!!!!1!1!!

i think i couldnt say it better. something is missing in ostfront that made the mod that damn outstanding. maybe its just because we all (ok not all, but the veterans) play RO for too long and we dont have this feeling to play something very special anymore.
i miss the old days when you absolutely knew everybody on the server and you could have really immersive teamplay without even using voip. we were well trained teams without beeing in 1 clan. it was a lot more teamplay.
i dont want to complain about the new players, but i think with making RO a retail game it lost a special feeling, like one big RO family.

*starting good ol 3.3 and looking for players*

 

[Mr._Kong]

Yeah it really was like one big family, or a close knit neighborhood where you knew every kid on the block. Now its like a city and you just dont feel like you are pary of a whole anymore.

 

[Dheepan]

Yeah. I do recall those 3.3 days fondly. Everyone who was anyone was playing on that one Core 32 players server haha good times.

 

[MILK]

pff stop being sentimental... before it was more like incest... I understand you missing those days but RO:CA was no way better than RO:O

 

[Mr._Kong]

better no, but funner yes.

 

[malice]

ROOST is better is almost every way but in RO:CA the community was so small that everyone knew everyone else. It was like big family made up of many people and clans.

 

[Sgt._Geist]

Indeed....... The Clans were the glue that held RO together.... do not forget that... ahh the good old days of the mod.......

GOD I MISS BERLIN!!! Someone fricken port it over already jesus!!

[mistk�fer]

if some does a remake of berlin, it should be the berlin revised of kradsch

I remember those days...like a small town...

 

[Macnabit]

awww man I wish I had known about RO in those days

Still I still think this is the best gaming community around

you all win

 

[Fu. Svedberg]

3.3 better then Ostfront?

No

Closer community in 3.3 then Ostfront?

Yes

Better community in 3.3 then Ostfront?

Well about the same.

Did I like 3.3 community better then the Ostfront?

Well the eavnings I didn't have to play Koitos 5 times within 2 hours I liked it more because of the closer community.
But since I did have to play Koitos multiple time every eavning on both of the 2 servers with people on them I think the community was worse.

 

[SheepDip]

I miss Warsaw.

 

[mistk�fer]

@sheep: theres a warsaw remake for ost i think

@svedberg: i think youre right, some maps were pretty overplayed but i think this only happened in the last few month of RO:CA
when i started playing the mod (with version 2.0) it was a bit different. ok maybe kauk was played a lot then but all in all it was a better community feeling. of course the forums still great but if you join a random server now, you only know a few of the players and most of them play for themself. they dont build up little teams of 5 men or so and play together. it lost this feeling of playing together i think.
ok when you play with a clan this is still there but pubbing isnt that teamplay orientated as in the old moddays. with all these things i dont want to say that i want the mod back, but its a bit sad for me that we lost this community feeling.

IMO alot of custom maps should be in RO by default.
So you can also try them in practice and don't need to download no crap.
