Ok I just want to state my opinion quickly. And please dont move this to the Suggestions forum.
I play cRPG because it has a melee system like no other game and love getting into group fights. But for me the fun is ruined by being hit by projectiles stunning you or by getting bumped by horses and I'm pretty tired of qqing about it.
Now Im not saying remove ranged or cavalry, since they were part of medieval combat and they should be featured in the battle servers for those who want to fight full scale battles. But shouldn't there be an option for those just wanting to fight small melee battles? I remember when I first got cRPG there was a melee server and I loved going in there watching people who knew how to block, fight. And it was awesome.
I recall there being an issue with activity on the server second time it was hosted. Not because no one wanted to play there, but because of the "you need to have atleast 8 players to gain multiplier" which kept people away from joining it.
Is there anyway we could get back the Melee server as an alternative to the other gamemodes, since we have like atleast 9 EU servers? And do something about the "atleast 8 players for multiplier" because it really kills the small servers. Maybe lower it to 6 or something.

It is good indicator that melee only is BORING AS FUCK if even 2h heroes prefer ranged infested battle over it. That´s why melee only server is always empty whenever it´s up.

Go to siege. Endless group fights. If you like to QQ, you play battle, if you like to have fun, you play siege.
-
I play c-rpg because as an archer, it's like playing cod4 or cs but the only difference is, is that people on cod4/cs know how to not get shot and have awareness. Maybe you should go play them you'll learn how to not get shot.

That's far from the truth however. People prefer EU1 because it has more players and is bigger (with bigger maps), which also prolongs rounds meaning you'll not lose multiplier so often, in turn gaining more experience/gold. Melee only is/was a smallish server and since only a portion of the crpg base is exclusively melee, it had a smaller player pool to fill the slots from. Also EU1 has been around since forever while melee only wasn't as known, EU1 has always players on by default while melee-only needed to start from 0 players after every night, which automatically discourages players from joining an empty server over other servers.
There are plenty of reasons why melee-only had low popularity, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't because it was "boring as fuck". I had great times there and I'm sure the other regular players liked it there as well. Also the skill level of players was generally higher there.

The difference here is enemies can't shoot back

Actually, I've seen it empty a few early mornings during this Summer, which I don't think I've seen in previous years. Don't sleep nerds :mad:

umirin?
Play as ranged or die crying.
-
the thing i enjoyed most on mele server was the pace, was never any need to alt tab. and siege is just boring too much respawning and walking, i'd rather alt tab than that.

Ahhh, I had a chance to play on melee-only server few times. With 20 people there it was quite interesting (this server somehow made people stick together :).
The no-multi-till-8 systems was made (I belive) to prevent abusing. I think I would stick with that. Lack of people on such servers is rather fault of the way balance works. I was rarely able to see well balanced teams. Also, without banner balance you can be often thrown into opposite teams (some ppl like to play together). On melee server team fo crushing everything cans have huge adventage (while on eu_1 archers and horsemen can counter those armours). Much depends on maps too.
That may work only with a new gamemode (guess everyone loves when new gm comes out).

I want this!!!!! Nothing more agrivating than getting gayed by cav or range
-
only peasants who cant block for their life would disagree with this proposition

This.
Tor,Cooties, Muffin, Kpu, rantrex, Ragni, myself, Bjord, couple of 22nds, Risens and tons of other players were permanently playing on the melee only server, hosted by Conquerworm.
If people would be aware of the fact, that there is a melee only server existing. It would be easily crowded.
Give us heroes a home plz, otherwise we will die out soon.

If your fun is ruined by archers and cavalry, you're playing the wrong game.
Check out Chivalry, they don't have cavalry.
"Wahhhh 2 out of the 3 classes this game has are ruining my fun, wahhhh"

I don't see what the big deal for people is with having a Melee server. It's just an alternative. You're not forced to play in it. If it is as bad as some claim then it would die and be removed.
-
It did die, and it was removed. The solution to your problem is internal, not external. Look within yourself young padawan.

Like Huseby said, already happened. It came, it failed, it went.

Go hoplite! U got a shield for the nasty arrows and a spear to poke those evil horses :)

Zaalback tried hosting his own Melee server but was never accepted to the official servers recently. Nothing wrong with making one of the empty servers to Melee only? Wouldn't hurt anyone.
-
It would hurt yourself and your ability to overcome obstacles and adapt to changing conditions.
-
We had a melee only server running a while back, I'll have to check with our secret provider if we can get it back up for a bit :)
-
I loved playing melee server had much more fun than eu1 and others
Thumbs up bring it backk!:)
Good post.
-
I dont share his opinion and I think the games charm is in all the classes screwing eachother over. Melee only is superboring and lame. And siege is a good provider of more closeup fighting, when Battle isnt. But yea I agree that why not host a meleeonly server to those who only want to play melee. Not gonna affect me anyway. Buuuuuuut ofcourse the sad truth really is that it died. The irony was never more painful when the forums where filled with "QQ archers and cav ruin this mod" threads while the meleeonly server was like a desert almost 24/7.
So I think the real problem isnt the haters, but just finding the playerbase for it.

The first youtube video that comes up shows the guy hovering his mouse of "Archer" and he selects his melee guy, an xbow-man runs infront of him... LOL

What about a ranged only server? Or a cavalry only server?
I still think there should be a CRPG version of the scoutzknivez maps in counterstrike. Low gravity, hunting crossbow/dagger/tunic only.

That's a great idea! It would cut down on the horsebump arrowfun that has made me wail with despair and go back to duel servers on Native. I also have a little joke for you all.
A ranged player and a cav player walk into a bar. There is no counter. A melee player walks into a bar. The bar is empty because it's a melee only bar and everyone else is playing ranged or cav.

changed my mind all I want is a pike free server.
-
My problem with melee only is that the absence of both cavalry and ranged allows people to all roll with the same feggit builds which have no real disadvantages in a melee only server, high AGI 2h. Other arbitrary rules like no pikes/longspears and no mauls basically just creates an environment where Swedish/German 14 year old 2h scrubs circlewank at each others lolfeints or call each other noobs all the time.
Which isn't a bad thing neccessarily, create a scrub reservation just like EU 4 is our retard reservation. That way we keep EU 1 nice and tidy.

haha I just piked you to fuck on eu1 , did I make you QQ?

This was the problem with the melee server. The rules against pikes and mauls.
Either way, I was a frequent player on that server when I wasn't playing lancer.

would you imagine how many 2h/pole spammers would be stuck there? nonononono, ranged exist for a reason, and that is to keep those str junkies in check...
-
Melee server was good fun with some adjustments to what gear and weapons are allowed to be used eill open it up for a wider variety of players and styles.
+1 for bringing it back, was a good community in their, amungst myself and many others enjoyed fighting against each other in their also.
I liked the arena maps too :D was a good server get it back up !!:))

On my str crutch I barely even feel arrows. Certain crossbows still hurt a lot though.
Would be nice to play melee only even just once in a while to run around without some xbower shotgunning me point blank in the face.

It costs me nothing but time to try again . I can host a melee server like I usually did, but don't expect it to be official , as Meow is dead since quite a long time now :/ .
