The servers fade...
aesthetic news.James has them chained up in his basement.
But why isnt the overlord and all the other guys telling us themself?
I heard rumours they are not willed to do anything about this mod every again, so why did they change their mind?
It's a cool announcement, and I want to believe, but was hoping we'd be in a position where Horns has what he needs before any sort of announcement. Guarantee there's something to announce. Well... the knowledge that chadz is alive is something.
I can help with coding, I do(when I have some motivation and inspiration) singleplayer mod with strategus factions so I know a bit how this game works.
And I know basics of C#
Yes, indeed. It is called cRPG, where the transitory lands of the devs converge.
In venturing forth, the community discovered the truth of the old words:
"The servers fade and the devs go without games."
When the development of cRPG is threatened, the bell tolls, unearthing the old Donkey Members from their graves...
Zimke, Creator of Gloves...
Uther and his admin team, the Community Watchers...
And the reclusive lord of the Profaned Discord, Horns the Programmer...
Only, in truth... the Devs will abandon their thrones...
And the new-my old friends will rise.
Nameless, accursed Community-members, unfit even for Web Design. And so it is, that spergs seeketh fame.
https://youtu.be/dxsUgBQPYZQAt fifteen, I had the will to learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ; at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the square.
It will most likely be a matter of weeks at least until we get things going again. I will keep everyone up to date with any information I learn.
As much as I wish I could say it will be up and running quickly that would be a foolish thing to do. Truth is that chadz is very busy working on his new project and it is a time consuming process to get everything transferred over to our new devs. That being said him and Thomek are committed to working on it for us.

Being a cunt to the people actively working to help bring back the mod won't get you far in my books
Nice, can you ask chadz when the epic will be released too please?visitors can't see pics , please register or login
situation where he promised he'll do something, you make this thread, real life gets in the way and he stops responding, and this thread becomes a meme a few months from now.
Uhg i have a good life. Dont suck me into this again. Aaah.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
This is too dead to ever be revived again, even having full control on everything you probably will not make people come back.kind of like how okam will never see more than 5 people playing at once.
Uhg i have a good life. Dont suck me into this again. Aaah.
What's there to lose? Worst case scenario nobody comes back and new folk get a dry run at managing all aspects of the mod, given I know at least Horns was interested in making cRPG for Bannerlord.

Fix lag and is all good tbh

Thanatophilia
EU server is graciously hosted by Pestdoktor. I have asked him to give it a reset but I am not sure if he has yet. If the lag problems persist we may have to investigate different server options, for which we may also need to set up a donations system.
Even when we had servers reset every week or so there still was lag, something is going on with the mod itself that is beyond my expression capabilities, maybe something about the scripts in the mod as someone suggested in some other thread earlier.
You are a haxman :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
You bastard, so that's how you always knew what we'd do next...
Before his disappearance Dupre was close to finding out... He mentioned Tydeus could have been the cause.
why not do a crpg 2 with bannerlord? :)They have plenty of time for that. :P
kind of like how okam will never see more than 5 people playing at once.Okam had 70 player recently, which is pretty desent
I thought the same back in May, but even though they made unexpected progress and had a playable version working before anyone expected, that same night there were over 20 people in EU1 before we'd even spread the news.Yeah, and how long that lasts on EU?After 2 weeks it was dead like before. PrideofNi once managed to gather around 40 ppl to play 1866 mp mod (great mod, btw) game, but can it be called a revive?
Maybe that was the last nostalgic gasp since the servers had been fully down prior to that, and maybe that was our last chance to capitalise on it. Or maybe we're just wrong and people like playing cRPG. I know a handful of guys willing to spend the time either way, fair play to them.

Revival is dependent on being able to fix the things that drove people away in the first place. The threads from May and June are full of us saying this, and that I dont think we should actively promote the mod till we have something big to show off.
The revival we had in summer happened without us even delivering that, all it involved was word of mouth and active servers. Some people promoted it a little but definitely not as much as we would if we actually had the ability to put out fixes, new content etc.
- Okam releases it's biggest selling point, something the community wanted since launch and gets 70 players once.
- cRPG comes back online with zero new features and many new issues (no DTV exp) and had a couple of weeks with at least 70 players across 3 regions.
And now, we're in a position to bring out regular cRPG updates. You can't see anything that can bring people back?
How about...
A revert to old pre-patch-of-destiny levelling system? Including hopefully a fix to server performance issues.
New items, everyone loves new weapons. Bannerlord has everyone drooling over Falxes, get those in cRPG I say!!!
How about a new round of Strategus? Even if we just resurrected it with identical mechanics to Strat 6, it would still have more features than the OKAM Strategic map just due to having been worked on over several years with years of feedback and trial and error. But it won't just be Strat 6 I can promise you that, each round gets mechanically better it just needs the community interest. It's funny to me that OKAM devs are trying to make something that's basically Strategus, and to my knowledge none of them (apart from maybe their community manager) has ever played or worked on Strategus. I read some constructive feedback on their new mode, all of them noob-traps that cRPG fixed/re-balanced in our Strategus years ago.
*The above are all just ideas that others have thrown around, I am not involved in the revive team so you can all rest easy. Apart from Strategus, I'll personally badger James till that happens.*
Discord yesterday was a wellspring of ideas, then Cassi joined and we started talking about Digimon
:O :O :O oh no :O
Kurwa!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
:O :O :O oh no :O
hahaha :D yea, now I m stuck on writing AI for kings and lords at the beginning of the game QQ but I m not going to surrender ! :F
(click to show/hide)
Ah rageball what an excellent game mode. I was always surprised more people didn't play it. Pretty creative whoever came up with that.
leave dtv xp alone
Then remember the above for cRPG Bannerlord plz
But something like that is like the something you're doing now. Some might say, exactly the same
If we do bring strategus back we will most likely just be making tweaks to certain variables to make it more accessible to the average player. Less grinding and easier army building/trading.
Can I be a beta tester?
Someone already took the website design slot?
Acre Vult now or what?
Haven't you tested being a beta all your life? LOL #gottemvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
dang u guys gave cassi admin
krems r unstoppable now
rip fin
tbh the only krems I respct is cassi lol :shock:
How about...Since everyone is 35+ levels at the time, without global wipe it will do nothing. Only make it harder for newcomers.

New items, everyone loves new weapons. Bannerlord has everyone drooling over Falxes, get those in cRPG I say!!!Maybe they loves, but 80% of players use like 4-5 2-handers with like 4-5 sets of kuyaks and helmets. Rest items is barely used, only for roleplaying, like samurai etc., or trolling chars. You do think some epic gloves will do the job?
How about a new round of Strategus?Never even tried it, can't say nothing here.
GLOBAL WIPE
Make things look good and people will use them even if they are subpar compared to other equipment in damage or armor.
Its why I stuck with the felt cap on a few alts because its awesome. Even tho it basically makes any hit to the head a 1 shot kill for me.
Yeah me too I definitely don't use all the strongest things to crutch on... :oops:

Will have to get a group together to play out one last set of battles before the servers go down. Unless someone else comes forward with the programming/modding/technical skill set needed to fix the launcher it appears we are out of luck this time.
Sorry again guys I really hoped to be able to bring the game back for us.

I noticed the merc mod now has a NA server we should all go take it over.

Does it really?I saw one on the overall unfiltered server list on native a couple of months ago whether it's still there IDK, I will look again when I get off work in a few hours.
Wtf, i feel bad for James.
Are the forums going down too? Sure hope not.😥
Me too.
I wouldn't have gone to all this trouble had I known that Horns was going to give up after a couple days. But I suppose he didn't grasp the complexity of the issues with the patcher.
Oh well
No the forums have nothing to do with Horns. They are still provided by chadz and co.Awesome, you guys, mmorpg..com and massivelyop.com are the only people I talk to online, would get infinitely more lonely if it did. :D
But EU servers will still be on?
Noone else can host the NA Servers the way Pest hosts EU?
The NA servers will be going down on October 7th but I will provide server files for anyone that wants to host their own servers
Found this thread before I found that thread.? Are you referring to the thread kratos necrod?
Made me wonder how Asheram had the inside scoop on everyone
Does it really?Well it looks like the one I saw is gone, all eu, ru, cw and 1 named somewhat known but still has the high ping like the others. :(
It's not truly dead as long as the site and database exist, right?right, but you need to find someone to host the server and someone to fix the mess horns didnt want to which sounds like a big job.
I hope chadz dies of the bird flue while he is in Chink ville
The patcher is some code I wrote down in just a day - and it looks like that. It's horrible trash, and by far the most fragile code of cRPG. I certainly see why Horns couldn't make much sense of it. I offered to help him out with it, but didn't hear back from him. I guess it was above the fuck-it threshold.
If it's just the patcher that's the problem, I can try and fix it over the weekend. But it would still need a coder to trigger it - I don't think making a flawless patcher at this point is possible.(click to show/hide)
Getting donations monthly for a server shouldn't be a problem. Many people have voiced their desire to donate.
desire too?
I support a wipe as long as I keep my stuff, but no one else does.
have at it. Not like Bannerlord is that far off.
looking at all those talks, we appear like some really persistent pack of necromancers
A state administrator will be placed as the head of the organization and will change every faction to Sarranidsyellow pajama wearers. Though GK mod added a black robe so its easier for me to play them now.
desire too?

Time to jump from the Tower.
idk how difficult it is to have the servers recognize a player's class, as to set limits on how many players can be cav, ranged, etc.
napoleonic wars (god help me for this example) allows server admins to set a cap on the percentage of a team allowed to be cav, ranged.
if crpg is ACTUALLY going to be worked on there HAS to be some limit (team-sized percentage) on the amount of archers/throwers and cav that can be playing in the server.
If me and sugarbiggums get on to populate the server and we have 12 people on after about an hour, no more than 2-4 of those people should be ranged.
This dis-proportionality between ranged and melee players present at any given time on NA-1 causes the good old "I think I'm going to go play something else now" instead of binging crpg
ya doofus when you join those servers you have to physically click a class with a preset loadout that the server can monitor, how the fuck are the devs going to track all of that fucking shit when you have insane customization on crpg
idk how difficult it is to have the servers recognize a player's class, as to set limits on how many players can be cav, ranged, etc.Admins on native can also set class limits too plus also turn of ranged for a few rounds.

we're working on the patcher, making some progress. should be working again soon
We're working on some pretty cool shit, but I can't say more at this point. In spirit (not in gameplay), it's much closer to cRPG. :D

If james gets in touch with me I can pay for servers for EU and NA they prolly arent too much $ and can help work on coding or doing whatever cause if we get strategus back and fix some other things the population might comeback a little.
Horns was saying it was only $45 a month to host the servers. James was talking about going up to $60 and then if everyone who offered to split the payment does it'd only be like $10 a month each. I might just bite the bullet and drop $60 and pay for this month though

no need to shoot suggestions out of the water you bundle of sticks
ya nice try you dingus ur suggestion doesnt have any workable solution so i guess its not even a suggestion after all
its just shit on a shitpost
Fucking easy solution, atleast in theory.With the way cRPG is auto- balanced how would you avoid having all cav or ranged on one team? Unlike native you can't pick which side you want to be on the auto balancer picks it.
Just limit the number of players that can spawn in with a ranged weapon, throwing weapon or horse in relation to the total amount of players.
Pretty pointless when there'll be 2 players, though.
LOL I was thinking it would be like 100$ a month of NA1 and EU1 and the duel servers and i was ok with that lol

There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn’t he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God. I can almost see your pathetic 30 year old virgin frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little autism joke up. Oh, and we all know the joke; all cRPG players are fat autistic retards. Absolutely HILARIOUS, isn’t it? Real side-splitting humor. I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it’s ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that’s right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she’s probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on the cRPG forums posting shitty, unfunny, overdone jokes. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a fucking sideshow retard who will never amount to ANYTHING. A pathetic, unfunny mongoloid. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can’t even try to talk with you because all you say is “LOL MY AUTISM METER IS DETECTING LEVELS OF AUTISM THAT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE.” You’ve become a parody of your own self. And that’s all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he’s done a million times now. And that’s all you’ll ever be.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
let's do it together :c
that was a surprisingly poetic rip, I feel enriched for having read it.
On a side note I go to school with an autistic kid who actually is preparing to lock himself in his room and drink mountain dew gamer fuel while sustaining him self with taco bell for a week, its weird to see, what I thought were meme's, seep into the real world. Its like there is some dimensional rift blurring the lines between the digital world and the real one. Neo are you listening?
What difference does it make to you what my plans for the week are?for that to happen you would actually have to have plans besides trying to gobble your own cock, maybe if you actually did anything that wasn't worthless, your life would matter.
We're working on some pretty cool shit, but I can't say more at this point. In spirit (not in gameplay), it's much closer to cRPG. :D
woah woah woah, no need to go off all half cocked on me like you jack hammer your dick every night, give it a break sunny boy stop trying to light a fire with your masturbation, the chafing is a bad thing. I for one get along with the autistic kid, he has more emotional intelligence in his right pinky than you do in your whole fucking peanut brain.visitors can't see pics , please register or login

The anecdote of when my autistic friend got his teeth pulled, drank a screwdriver, and then went and smoked some weed with his homeless friend all while recovering from the anesthesia is a far superior life experience to anything you have EVER done. how long did you milk your last cold you little pussy, asking your mom from more chicken soup when she is just trying to build up the courage to kick your 40 year old ass out of the house. You need to unglue that sex toy from your gaming controller and fucking go get a job you shitless mouth breather.

You are literally forced into duels LOL
I went back into OKAM a couple days ago. While it is fun, pop is very low. Combat is still awkward but workable. A bit better but I still would prefer a M&B setup for combat.hacker
Funny thing is, I took a few minutes practicing on the bots to just block along with a guy who volunteered to attack me so I could block and I was already declared "holy shit he can block". I even had a guy that was in a skirmish with me and roughly 5 others complain and asked if I could let them win so they could get the first win of the day.
Its not just me either. A few other people have come back and done very well blocking and attacking. I dunno. I honestly thought by now it'd be the tryhards left but I can easily top scoreboards or beat players there that seem to have played for a while.
There's still some tricks to the game like thrusts on 2h (much like warband) are pretty effective especially right after a swing if you drag it.
Its fun but.. bannerlord pls.

"All he is good at, is making something great..."
Oh, well. It could be worse.
Switching from making cRPG as a hobby to developing a game full time was a bold step. Too bold, got hit hard by reality, failed in the end, probably due investor disagreement, silenced because of muh contracts. Personally I'd give him another chance because he is good at this one thing: making something great. Maybe the Chinese are good at maintaining it.
-Do not make promises you can not keep, it only makes you look bad and leaves people like myself bitter
i bet donkey crew had fully intended to implement things like "epic," but we have to realize that all of the features the devs wanted to include were rushed and incomplete because of a lack of funding. after all, the kickstarter came up short and the crew had to go early access and eventually sell the rights just to continue development. at least they got a product out unlike the old devs of NW (fse) who were developing battle cry of freedom until vincenzo took the money and ran. you have a right to be upset for paying money for features that never came to fruition, but its like a $20 loss; think of it as that crpg donation money
-Once you make something, keep it alive. cRPG died off, in my opinion due to shitty servers from lack up upkeep and just overall lack of care. Strat died off because people stopped working on it and keeping it alive, strat was why a majority of people people played. I never played it much myself, but from what I understand the poor upkeep of strat is why most people left.
wtf? this is a free mod that a bunch of nerds made in their spare time for your enjoyment. there isn't another mod out there that has gotten as much love as crpg. this has survived longer than triple a titles and all things die over time. every good thing comes to an end, and it is insanely impressive how long this game has survived ESPECIALLY for a FREE MOD.
Can I get a bottomless rock bag? Good work BTW ty.

just my 2 cents

Still playing beta crpg mod, not transcending into chad native. How does it feel to be subhuman?
Ok, you fixed pather, even added new items, EU servers up, US to be up soon, but still - how to make people play this now?
servers up ... but any1 still playing? some months ago joined crpg and just CHN server with ppl. I think the way is ... prepare that community for M&B Bannelord and forget crpg xD
ill read the forum for new notices and info. Actually im creating a whatsapp group with old players, just for fun and maybe play if the new patch comes :)
