Embed your youtube links you cur, this isn't the OKAM forum.Jeez mom, okay!
I see nothing yet...
Its a good thing I sold all my looms expecting to never play this mod again... is strat going to start again too?? I might have to reinstall..
Now for the revert and reset and maybe it'll grow a tad larger than 10v10! I will miss my +3 warspear though, its been with me through thick and thin.lol it was 20 vs 20 an hour ago people dont play forever you know.

Rather OKAM gets an epic, than cRPG will be ever revived.
1-2 weeks of some activity and it will return to it's dead state.
20v20 on eu at 6am? Holy moley, it does seem like they play forever.I wasn't on EU when I posted that and it was primetime NA time, nice try though.

Edit: so you were complaining about server population at 6 am and claiming a wipe would make more ppl play at 6 am on weekday got it.
No i didnt play at all, i was going by Ikarus earlier post that he played when it was 10v10 which seemed to be around prime time from what i saw. Nice try though. I wasnt complaining at all, i was simply stating that a wipe would probably bring that 10v10 up higher.
20v20 on eu at 6am? Holy moley, it does seem like they play forever.so where did 6 am on EU come from?
NA servers are now hosted in Chicago. Just a heads up.

And sry complaining was a bit of an overstatement, more like trying plant seeds to hinder me from reaching lvl 38 😝
Lvl 38 is a lie, dont believe in it.
I got pretty close
I got pretty close and then everyone stopped playing.
Dick move
When will the Epic be released?
Rather OKAM gets an epic, than cRPG will be ever revived.I agree with this.
was a blast to play again, thanks guys.Why not revive it for those that want it? Wasn't it strat that kept the population playing? I never really bothered with it much but if it helps keep some sort of pop then why not even if that pop stays at a 10-20 players like it was in its undead state before okam came and went and crpg broke I would be happy.
although focusing on the future, LET STRAT DIE. LET IT DIE! it'll never get 50 v 50 full rosters and is true hot garbage without that, whereas battle can be good with far less players.

I agree with you in the concept of providing it for those that enjoy it. However in practice, those that claim to enjoy strat get partially invested short term, then get massively discouraged very quickly. I have seen it way too many times, NA1 is rocking, strat 10 vs 2 battle starts, people leave na1 to join it and never come back even when it ends.
Plus a clear focus on improving battle servers (MAYBE siege / dtv for you crazy people out there) is much more reasonable than reviving strategus for the lone heroes that have taken up the crpg dev mantle. Strat is a tumor at this point. LET ER' DIE
Honestly I think if strat doesn't come back (with strat 4 rules or something similiar) the game will be dead in a month or two. I seriously doubt we'll retain any new people that might come in unless we have strat or a character wipe. People will come in, see that the combat is basically the same as native (though better) and be like "no sense starting to grind in this dead game" and go back to whatever flavor of warband they were doing before. Also clans really can't exist without events and for cRPG that's strat.
We get loads of downloads, lots of new accounts. If we fail to retain numbers or grow under those circumstances it's because we've failed to make the game engaging for them.
Whether that's strat, new patch, or character wipe. With the numbers checking out this mod, we have all the raw resources we need to get populations high again. Imo as long as we commit to never wiping we are committing to the past at the expense of potential future growth.
so, looks like EU revival pretty much ended?

Strat is a magnet for this hypothetical "new player," when I first started it was strat that got me hooked with Crpg in the first place.
M&B still gets a trickle of new people who hear about it for the first time from some one ranting about it or listing it on a top 10 games list, when they check the Mod scene it would be good if Strat was still slugging around.
See where you're coming from, but I've watched this hypothetical fabled new player time and again over years and years come into the mod because he heard about the wonderous "strategus", nearly inevitably described to him, or imagined as a perfect amalgamation of multiplayer sync'd warband singleplayer experience and the proving grounds of battle.
anyone with a modicum of experience with strategus could tell you that this is not even nearly the case; generally these new players are highly disappointed with what they're confronted with. after all, what kind of cretinous nerd is actually going to savor and look forward to the opportunity to participate in an intensely flawed browser-based minigame with few graphics to speak of taking a rather long amount of time and organized+informed groups to accomplish anything in with playing routinely subjected to (or asked to, OVER AND OVER AND OVER through necessity god i hated recruiting for retard-time battles) playing at 4am because of some jackass' nighttime settings?
i believe that if strategus were to enter a new round, it would detriment a bit more than benefit the mod; there exists a sizable group of players that will simply not participate in any strategus battle out of principle or preference. there also exists a sizable group of players that will participate in nearly any strategus battle available! with these two die-hard groups combined with all of the fence-sitters and others, every time a non 100v100 unarmed strategus battle pops up, you'll witness the active server be rendered in two with neither group really having a playable server population.
strat certainly got me hooked, but circumstances are far different now. you'd need to see an ungodly and highly improbably amount of work by a considerable number of nerds. not only that, but you'd need a diverse (lmao) group of nerds otherwise you'll encounter enough people trying to revive strategus but the ingrained tendency for alliances with friends or comrades steer the map towards a dreadful carebear state of affairs
so ya basically i propose a partial wipe or economy reset/change that results in a more modest average gear loadout and meaningful upkeep/economy rather than "lol i've got several mil and nothing to spend it on", with strategus rightfully buried(click to show/hide)
I agree with Badplayer. I found it pants-on-head-stupid that as the mod dwindled, devs made it HARDER to play Strat by adding crime--a mechanic that accomplishes, in my opinion, literally nothing but necessitating micromanagement. People want to have to deal with less obnoxious little details rather than more.
