It cant last forever but its not gonna go down any time soon, and you sure aint helping it with threads like thesenot true i expect these replies
Skyrim drops - People play it.After some weeks they are through and return to cRPG.Same with any other game pretty much.these make me sleep better, i had no idea wtf skyrim was, a clan mate was telling me, now knowing its a strict single player like dragon age im less worried about it
By the way, shit might hit the fan if TW releases a Sequel to Warband, and maybe goes the way C-RPG went.
( I'm sure they're planning a sequel, WFAS is nothing compared to Warband. )
Then we'd have a real problem
Hmm.I think given this previous experience it wouldn't pass a lot of time before someone will start developing a crpg-like mod for this hypothetical warband 2, maybe chadz himself would do it
A statistic of active players would be nice to see.
Until that information, we can only speculate.(click to show/hide)
Shooters wont take people away from crpg/warband. Warband is just different from everything else and people will come back to it after a while most likely.

I don't expect BF3 to have that long a life though. Unless they have proper mod support (which they've been lacking since 1942), modders are probably going to get fed up with it and give up. They've been petitioning for mod support for a long time now, seeing as BF2 mod support was so poor. And particularly as things are bound to be more complicated now I don't think modders will be as willing. In which case within a month people will get bored of it.
BC2 has no mod support and has a huge playerbase years after its release.
Amoung the usual 12 year old console loving, modern warfare fan boys?
The only reason I played BF2 was for FH2.
I don't think cRPG has the type of community to be pulled away by such games for long.
Yes, because you don't like a game lauded as one of the most solid multiplayer experiences of all times means everyone else is a ravenous lunatic. Meanwhile you nostalgiasturbate to an ancient game that fell to the wayside multiple years ago.
Yep, dem BC2 fanboys.
Warband is my most played game easily. With 600 hours in so far, a lot of this is singeplayer and other mods, but probably 400 or so in cRPG. My second most played online game was BF2, played that for 250 hours. This game has had the most lasting appeal to me, part of that is because of the small playerbase, you know most people. So I wouldn't mind if the playerbase would get smaller, I think the death of cRPG is still far away.
Skyrim will not entertain for more than 100 hours for most and its also not an online game, so I don't think we have much to fear from that.
Battlefield 3, mehh, there have been other high profile games that cRPG survived, some people will dissappear, I think a lot will eventually come back to cRPG. Only Warband 2 might really cut into the cRPG playerbase, I think most cRPG will gladly go play warband 2 and I hope chadz will too.
Once Skyrim and BF3 and RO2 comes out I will be gone for 3 months minimum. And someone saying Skyrim only 100 hours? They packed 500 hours of gameplay in it. Its older game Oblivion easily passed 100 hours in gameplay.I said for how long it was going to entertain most, few will get 500 hours out of it.
So tired of warband...but cannot leave because there is no other game like warband...
You people can only play one game at once?
If i played wolfenstein ET for years (although it was 10x more fun than crpg) I dont see why crpg would die.FELLOW WOLFENSTEIN ENEMY TERRITORY PLAYER :O
I got bored with brainless fps so now I play brainless medieval fps and spam 2h.
Pretty much. You see, as you get older and get responsibilities your available time for gaming decreases substantially. You can either dabble in a few games, never really getting anywhere in any of them or you can focus on one or two and still remain somewhat competitive.
At 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..
cRPG has no current rival in its genre :?
This is the ONLY reason alot of us haven't moved the fuck on yet.
I've been following Guild Wars 2 before I even knew cRPG existed as a mod in Warband.And I've been following SW:TOR ever since 2008, the wait is.. was a torture 8-)
cause I like the looks of Battlefield 3 and Skyrim.
I used to buy a game most months, since getting warband and its mods I've only bought Witcher 2 and havnt got round to installing.You should, Witcher 2 is a-fucking-mazing. Easily one of the best cinematic RPG's ever.
Lets be honest in 3-5 years the PCs and graphics cards will be almost tv quality and we will view warband graphics the way we now view the original daggerfall.
How could cRPG dies ? It's the only medieval fps out there, it's just a matter of time before they come back.

you realize paradox is the guys who do m+b right?, also that chivalry doesn't look that great, you can tell the engine is pretty funky
You people can only play one game at once?
Pretty much this.
cRPG is by far the game I played in the most dedicated manner, yet I still play at least 3 other games in a day (atm Minecraft, Europa universalis III latest version and some ultra-rare (on PS3) japanese RPG named Eternal Sonata).
But when talking to other people, especially MP games fans, most of them are completly mono-maniac. If I had to play only one game during one month for example, I would not play half as much as I do. That's also why I never sold any, I'm too afraid of wanting to play an "old" game again, and that happens quite often :lol:
So at least for me, cRPG will never die, because I never quit definetly (though this mod changes with the patches so it could theoritically become too bad for me to play it).
Curious. Do you have a job and family?
http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/war-of-the-rosesThe combat system of Mount & Blade is very well done, Chivalry's looks like bear shit, come on look at what happens, that doesnt look nearly as intense and skill requiring as Warband's combat system. Better graphics won't make me play 600 hours if the gameplay is crap.

The server is full again... Start dying please. I think with fire and sword will die before crpg does. I have played around there a bit and only one server decently populated. All them range my old friends blast each other and cant block nothing so you can get surprising k/d ratio's mindlessly spamming them with 2h up close.
so why worry about what it's going to do to playerbase now?
War of Roses looks like it could be viable alternative if one were to believe the hype
Psht. I think we've seen that mainstream buyers won't tolerate a Mount & Blade style system, with Darkfall and Mortal Online.The only way this is an issue is if they're fucking moronic and attempt to go for a "mainstream" crowd. DF and MO tried that and they have to remember that the mainstream crowd are the cancerous lemmings destroying the gaming culture. As long as it remembers it's going to cater to a niche community and aims it for that community I don't think we'll have any worries.
Psht. I think we've seen that mainstream buyers won't tolerate a Mount & Blade style system, with Darkfall and Mortal Online. I mean, have you tried to introduce your friends to this game?
"Omg it's too hard."
"That's stupid, he shouldn't be able to do that, I quit."
"What! I can't tell where he's going to attack. Fuck this game."
"I'm bad at it, so I don't want to play multiplayer."
And so on and so forth. I doubt they'll include manual blocking of different directions.
Lack of 2handers would probably remove manual block all together...Considering that the one of the most popular weapons of the time in England were the bill and the poleaxe, not even mentioning the longsword, while the shields were more and more out of fashion, I highly doubt that.
this mod is still fun as fuck 910 hours of gameplay later, i don't know what the hell you guys are clamouring about.

Get to 2k+ then come back to this thread.
3033 hours:shock:
3033 hourswhat the hell?
BF3 dropping is going to put a lot of hurt as i've heard tons frothing at the mouth. I recall firing up Bad Company 2 for the first time and it being my primary game for months- and BF3 is slated to be even better. Might lose a few FPS junkies on that one, at least for a while.
FELLOW WOLFENSTEIN ENEMY TERRITORY PLAYER :O
I still say that was the best game I have ever played, and for years. Well, best FPS by far. Best RTS being Age of Mythology.
Just a thread of babble because quite a few of us seem to be sick of this god forsaken game but have nothing else to go play as far as online games. Lack of options leads to threads like these instead of just saying "Fuck it, I'm done" and leaving.actually i enjoy this game but i fear theres no new fish out there to recruit and with most old players leaving or join other clans or flat out making new ones its hard to get a decent player base
PS : 2k hours ? ye nub :P
BF3 looks like a really fun arcadey game, but....realistic? Srsly?
It looks more real than CNN Iraq battle footages.

I dont know the numbers or statistics but I'm sure the c-rpg population is low, easily under 5,000 or even 3,000. I see that new games coming out such as the new Star Wars MMO or Skyrim will attract a good amount of our population, we will see large numbers disappear....
just a thought, maybe some members in your clans have spoken up about one of these or other games coming out and are eager to play them?
I know mine are...
my clan is going to immigrate to bf3 soon
Inshallah gogo BF3
ye always wondered for what he was banned, he was quite a noticeable guy
Hey Prpavi i got an idea, lets go out with a bang from the forums also. :lol:
Im gonna support my Greek friend who got banned recently for exposing screenshots of strat abuse by banning myself out :D
