RO is dead in the US

[+tooterfish]

Every server is empty or filled with bots. It's Saturday afternoon and the only two servers somewhat filled are 24/7 Danzig (because some people never get tired of one map), and some sniper maps server which started putting me to sleep after 2 minutes. We need to get something going fast or this game is done for good.

I agree, it is really bad now. Especially since there are lot of n00bs who team kill you all the time now.


These are our last few days to enjoy this game, so keep playing it.


It will be quiet a while until HoS is released, and even then, you better get used to the aids in retard mode. I doubt we'll only have a handful of servers and players who play realism mode.

A few months back TWB East was full every night and it was excellent pings for US players.
I have nothing now except for the EU TWB servers and my ping is high there.

 

[Idiot]

Same here. No one plays on the TWB Old Glory server and now I'm forced to play on the Euro servers. My ping is so bad. I'm learning to use the rifle all over again because the ping affects my shots so much

thank god im in europe

Wait.. they got internets in the US?

even TWB's EU servers were dead recently.

the KF weekend/update also pulled in some RO players, but yes the numbers are really getting low. hopefully TW got some good money off the KF update/sale and provided enough to keep those customers happy so they can get finished up on HOS so we get an early 2010 release

As a US player, I too feel the high ping pain to the TWB Euro servers, but hey, thats where the RO action is at the moment. There is quiet a bit of DH action on the 29th ID server in evening US time. I work at night so usually play daytime US = evening Euro, so the Euro servers are really busy when I usually play. Yep, RO aint as busy as it once was, but I have always felt it's the best $ I ever spent on a game! TWB*SlowBull

Not many british servers here. Mostly German, Polish and Russian. The ping is very good.

i think the americans are all playing the darkest hour mode, since at the time the twb old glory was full usually now the darkest hour servers are full..

im from europe but i almost never have any ping problems, neither on europe nor on american servers...the ping may be 150 or 200 there is no difference to a 80 ping..no lag...nothing

i had problems once when i tried a new modem...then i switched back to the old one (old fitz box modem) and it worked again...maybe the right modem is important

I just noticed there is a new TaT Danzig server on DH and it has good pings for US players. There was no one there at the moment, but let's fill it up tonight and get some games going.

Hey TaT guys can you rotate in some stock infantry maps? Danzig is getting really old even with the Americans attacking.

I'm in the US. I started playing RO late last year and now I'm mostly in DH. I would gladly continue playing RO but I just got worn out having to play 2 or 3 rounds each of the same 10 infantry maps all the time. I'm always hoping to see Kriegstadt or Bocklin or other unfamilar infantry maps on the TWB servers since they are the best place to play, but no luck so far. Sadly, the only way I've been able to play Kriegstadt is in its DH incarnation as Berlin.

 

[smokeythebear]

Damn I didn't realize TWB's old glory doesn't fill up anymore. Hopefully some NA players will be on this weekend I've been craving some RO. It wasn't too long ago that people would be on around 8-9pm.

EU servers are unplayable with my new ISP. On my old connection I could play any server no problem but now I'm getting 150+ ping.

 

[pomp]

I feel the same way.. which is why I want to get some casual organized Cdn/US east coast matches going on.. I know a guy who will consider throwing up a ded server located in Chicago. We normally play arma2 but I think we will move on to RO due to lack of players.. So if you guys are interested check out www.blackop.co.cc and say something on the forums. We're NOT A CLAN! just a community thats trying to get started and revive good old sim gaming like Arma and RO

I'm from Toronto btw and i get really good pings from our dedicated.

P.S I also share a hatred for Danzig so that will most likely not be in the rotation

I have noticed that americans tend to post alot on forums and spend alot of time in their internet browser than actually playing the game.

Maybe playing instead of posting might help.

Doesn't matter the forum does it Craig...

I think most of the NA RO players have migrated to DH. Which I don't mind really, I've played the stock RO maps so many times it's ridiculous, and the Bulge maps in DH are just as good IMO.

Hey guys I just thought I would pop in and say a few things. Old Glory was doing well until it had a unavoidable and unexpected IP change. Since then it has been tough to get going. We have seeded the server many times, but it just does not stay full like it used too. We have tried a few things to make it more appealing to the remaining US players like turning map voting on. We have also just added 55 custom maps to the server as well. The maps are made to handle small to large numbers of players so that the guys that are on have a good selection for the amount of players they have with them.

TWB will always support RO, TWI and the community, while our major populated server may be in the EU now, we will still be right there killing and being killed with everyone.

Respectfully,

TWB*JimMiller

JimMiller, I've noticed all the interesting new maps on Old Glory, it's a shame I never see even one person exploring the maps during my gaming hours.
