Just wondering what % of the podium post here on this forum and don't even play RO.

I don't.

I had a 10 day gift pass but didn't play it much, there seemed to be about 2 populated servers but were either full or high ping.

The rest of the servers I tried were filled with hilariously terrible bots.

Not anymore really, over the years, a lot of RO's little flaws really started to grate on me, especially the at times clunky controls, i barely noticed them at first, but as time went by, they just started to annoy me more and more, untill i coulden't launch the game without seeing the little flaws first, and the game i fell in love with second :(

Eh, what can i say? i'm rather fickle about MP games, it does take a special kind of game to get me interested in Online play, it takes something like RO, only Ost didn't age so well for me..


This is why i'm very excited about HoS, from what i've seen so far, it's the same game i fell in love with, but they have fixed all the things that eventually put me off playing Ost.

Now i just hope none of the new additions turn out to be annoying.. here's looking at you upgrade system, and spawning on SL, yeah, i've got my eye on you little bastards!

I bought RO the day it came out in retail. Played it excessively, and for a long time. It's been a while since I've played a lot but I still do crank it up for the occasional bout ... I love me some hot p-tard action.

I play RO mods when everyone is playing because they are only popular for a short time and they are always a nice change of pace (CC, MN, Revenge of the Turul). RO and DH haven't died so whenever mods die, I just go back and forth between those two.

I played RO almost exclusively as my multiplayer game of choice for a good long while when it came out, but I gradually lost interest and moved on to other games. I've played more hours than I care to count, but since most of them were before Steam started tracking playtime, I only have about a day on record.

Just recently got into Darkest Hour and I'm thinking of joining a realism unit. Assuming they don't require me to participate in tank battles - the fact that sometimes every populated server is on a tank map is a big part of the reason I stopped playing RO frequently. I feel safer on foot than in a WW2 tank, and I don't play maps that take 10 minutes of travel just to start hearing the gunshots.

Yeah, I play RO. I played KF first however, and I didn't get RO for a long while... I can't remember what it was exactly that made me want to buy it, but I did buy it and after I found servers like TWB, I loved it. :D

Well, I signed up for this forum solely because of RO, but I haven't played it steadily since the announcement of Heroes of Stalingrad. So I'm not sure what answer to put, because technically I don't play RO, but it's not like I have absolutely no interest in it.

Yeah the poll options are a bit lacking, as someone who has played it a lot, but just haven't played it recently, should i have voted "yes" or "no"?

I ended up voting "no", because i'm not playing it currently, but the way the poll is worded, that kinda sounds like "no, and i never have", rather than "no, not recently".

I still play although nowhere near as often as I did the first few years. I still enjoy the gameplay, but playing the same maps over and over gets a bit tiring, even the good maps.

70.83% of the podium plays RO? Didn't expect to be that high :eek: Seems like the majority of ppl posting here are just some lurkers from random forums and don't even play RO, hence I made the poll...
