server is dead mostly because of KCD and the shitty balance. Here's how it goes currently:
30-40 player server gets filled with ranged, slowly (but surely) everyone GTXs because ranged currently are too strong as they have too many numbers.
Server dies down to a decent 10-20 players, some ranged gets involved and ruins the fun so everyone just leaves.
Want EU1 to be alive? Stop playing ranged classes. I played on NA1 for a bit and had so much fucking fun there, there was a grand total of like maybe 1 thrower there in about 20 people, I had a hoot of a time. I'm starting to wait until NA gets active before I start playing properly now, as whenever I play EU1 I end up just GTXting due to ranged just instagibbing me at the start of the round.

People will always find a reason to complain, and probably quit. Right now its ranged, ok well lets get a melee server. Remove pikes. Remove shields. People want to play the game but they dont want to play the game. A terrible mindset was nurtured forth and now people cant stand even the immensely nerfed ranged we have. I dont think it could ever live with this.
But having a one day per week revival at first didnt seem like a good idea, but i may be wrong. It could turn a dead turd into something thats at least alive once a week, "Oh its cRPG day". Im not sure but i think its common for other old dead games to have a peak day to emulate better times, it might simply not be possible to keep a game alive for so long unless you create a highly competitive environment, or if its just a ton of casual fun.
shut the fuck up, youre trash.
I killed an entire mod?
wow, had I known I had such an influence over that many people, Id run for president.
Dont be mad gravoth, I only bash you and your clan stacking no skilled clan members.
Yeah you alone literally killed it :cry:
To be fair youve hated on clanstacking, teamplay, competitive weaponry etc. And youve worked hard to build one of the worst personalities in the game, which is impressive in its own right i suppose, but healthy? nah. We (byz) usually funnel our hate into Kenda on teamspeak, but whenever someone ventures to the forums we all somehow fight our urge to hate on Kenda and instead it gets aimed at how retarded most of your posts are.

Before certain someone start claiming how point of banner balance is to have fun with friends and it's not about winning, let me tell you how they complained when it was possible to pick their banner and start winning rounds. OP complained a lot about it if I recall right and I tend to have pretty good memory when it comes to completely irrelevant information.Yes, they did: I think the mercs banner back then was the red and white one with 3 swords which I use for Hot Chick with a Sword.
Nords were The Admin Clan (can't remember the name, had fish for banner), SeaRiders (Serfonz, Tor and their crew) and you guys later joined them. You probably mean SeaRiders because admins were pretty inactive even back then.

120 people on native siege server sure hate chaos.
Warband is too glitchy to be ever considered as competetive, especially cRPG. Correct me if I'm mistaken, back when mod had active community siege was more populated than battle, same applies to Native.
This might change with Bannerlord, but it's highly doubtfull.

I honestly dont think crpg wouldve lasted half as long without clans, and especially without strat (i hate strat but i do think it has its merits).
Let me tell you something - the admins are on it, enacting their star plan to enforce the "ZERO TOLERANCE ANTI-RACISM" rule with bans. Soon we'll have a squeaky clean server bustling with activity just like good ol' GK_TDM!IKR Gktdm gets from 40-70 people on almost every night. And they have been getting some pretty cool new maps too.
Fully agree about Strat. Dead Strategus means dead mod most of the time. However I disagree about clans on public free for all game modes. Could be that clans on battle provided longetivity but believe that rare mix of good and fun gameplay mechanics (Warband base) and the worst kind of psychological entrapment chadz devised to keep us playing (cRPG item and leveling system) are the reason for strong response from gaming community towards cRPG and reason why it is still alive seven years after first release.God Leshma has spoken. Let this be a lesson to all of you Mercs out there.
Clans never grew naturally with community, in fact clans cannibalized community. At first clans cannibalized freelancers, lone wolves, players who didn't belong to an organized team aka clan. Clans fed on them, mostly discarding those unwilling to go through the hoops (some people take pride in difficulty of an online gaming, from this perspective I find that laughable) and integrating those who passed the trial by fire. That way influence of clan grew while random players lost any influence over battle outcome. In second phase when new players stopped coming in waves, big clans cannibalized smaller clans to the point where only huge inflated clan were left, completely losing identity in the process because they integrated half a server. After a while huge clans became bored because there was no competition cuz they started avoiding each other, because if they played each other it was shorter end of the stick for one of the huge clans.
Mercs and to certain extent you guys were super weak clans devoid of any higher purpose because you bullied randomers on free for all servers while mostly ignoring truly competitive interclan tournament aka Strategus. Its like being adult and fighting preschoolers while other adults fight each other in competitions meant for professional adult fighters.
True winners of cRPG, despite all the underhanded tactics and cheating are eastern Europeans, because they dominated year after year only meaningful competition this mod has to offer, Strategus. Eastern Europeans being Druzhina and Grey Order, of course.
Mercs will be remembered as a clan pretending to be only for elite fighters, but in the end they turned into worst mix of random elements and weakest huge clan during second phase of community cannibalization process. Which shouldn't be of surprise when you take a good look at founders of Mercs, only Gnjus out of them can pass 'not being completely retarded' test. Other prominent members including the likes of Siiem, Xant, Blackbow and Bjord.
so basically Lesham you QQ because everyone doesn't play like yyou, solo with no friends! Because as everyone knows any and all fighting is done alone and not in any organised manner.
Mercs are super weak because they don't only play stategus these days and leave battle servers to the real heroes.
I must go to native and explain to them that they must stop! What they have been doing for years playing together on the same teams in battle servers is killing native! hmm wait no thats not right IG BG seems to be doing just fine :shock: i wonder then if some people in crpg only play because they want that precious xp and not because its fun and so whine if they dont win every round :idea:

when is all this banning going on? Was on a week or 2 ago and an ex admin was calling people the n word w/o even getting muted by the admins that were on let alone banned.
Oh yeah, and I forgot you're not allowed to say any boohoo bad words any more or you're getting banned for that as well, what a joke seriously.
IG BG is like 30 players server, isn't it? That's for those who prefer EU4 gameplay. Compared to that, free for all no silly clan stacking noob infested siege often has/had 220 player population, like Pecores server used to have before multiplier patch.
Most players prefer to play like me, no strings attached. But this mod forced 90% of them to create clans at first, then to integrate into super clans. You've sacrified casuals who are the meat of every online games population in order to feed interests of the few and now just like before are crying over loss of population. It is funny that exact same people who always talk in favor of esports aspect, competitive gaming are the ones who were the most active when server population was more casual and not dominated by try hards. I do remember Vibe always being in favor of competitive so called pro level of competition yet I also do remember him being the most active in earlier phases of cRPG development, when it wasn't about x5, clan stacks and rest of that.
cRPG is fun in same way injecting heroin is fun. But it wasn't always heroin, used to be like weed at first. Certain people helped to shape it into heoin, interestingly same are abusers of hard substances irl.
Weren't you permabanned for cheating?
I got banned for saying bad words against veselov when he called me a son of a bitch in russian etc because that's the only thing he's capable of but that useless admin (why the f is he even still admin. he's not even playing the game lmao) cherrypicked my insults when I got tk'd 24/7 by that veselov guy. Find it just kinda funny that he banned me for that sole reason tbh, that's all really.
XyNox is playing every day, not only DTV but also Eu1.

Seems like you don't care doing job correctly tho, akbar also didn't get punished for shooting me 2 times with his xbow on the same thread while I didn't even hit him or nudged him or anything,
looking for a beauty who will help me to increase the server population
How does every single thread morph into typical 2h kuyak hero whining about ranged?Your argument: INVALID
Get
a
Shield
This = best build, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBJSfzbh5HQ
This = slightly more serious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LUJpdDWCuI
Your argument: INVALID
The problem ISN'T that ranged are too strong as such (Though, xbowers are definitely too strong of a class), the problem is that there are TOO MANY ranged, thus, shields are NOT helpful when you have 20 different ranged users shooting you from all different angles. Shields are great for low population cases, but in high pop I.E. 30+ players, shields do NOT work.

If i decide to solo push 3-4 archers as a shielder ofc im going to get shot but im also distracting 3-4 archers so longer i survive the better our chance of winning
so if all mercs byz and other clans who enjoy playing as a group rather than solo stopped playing, crpg would be sweet and highly populated?
I think this is the main problem, people wouldn't dream of charging 3-4 melee thinking "I'm definitely going to win this! This is going to be an even fight!"
but people expect to charge 3-4 archers and think to themselves "I'm definitely going to win this! This is going to be an even fight!"

I charge 3-4 melee thinking "This might be a fun fight and I might get to take 1 or more with me when I go or at least lower their hp before I die!"
I think people just think, "Ranged isn't a threat", because it's quite far way, and then they get hit with an arrow and suddenly it's all tears
try to at least bob n weave my way to him
I find the poll results surprising, from my own observation in last two weeks mod is somehow alive at evenings from Monday to Wednesday, for the rest of the week it's dead.you must mean eu as na battle server never even populated before the last 3 big strat battles.
