even though bannerlord probably is still a ways away, it's lurking around the corner for a lot of mount and blade players, and I've noticed a lot more activity based off the steam charts of people playing warband (maybe revitalizing their interests or just getting into melee shape) so it's entirely possible to get the mod popping a little bit. although i do feel like trying to regrow crpg at this point is like going to the germans just b4 the battle of the bulge and telling them how to win it, it's not gonna matter anyway since it will probably be over in 6 months anyway.
things I think would help get new players:
-finding someway to get a PROPER THREAD on the taleworlds forums. the taleworlds forums are still pretty active and people go there to find warband mods and bannerlord info. cRPG is literally in a dusty old section of the mods thread and it doesn't have a proper thread of its own with detailed information about the mod (strat, all the armors, leveling system, etc). i tried contacting a forum admin over it a few months ago and he claims that the original crpg devs wanted it like that to promote the use of our own forums here, so unless another dev contacts them they can't change it (idk if professor has this authority status).
-making occasional posts on the steam community hub with screenshots. sorry james, but moddb is pretty dead since 1992, and most people use the steam community hub for reviews and mod recommendations.
things 2 do to get new players 2 stay:
-an active server (new players would never really understand the significance of a database wipe, or getting free looms when they make their account). for real we just need 2 make a "get on NA1 or EU1" post on the steam page at like 6 or 7 cst every evening and people need 2 understand their holy responsibility to play this game
- change upkeep costs and xp somehow. tbh high upkeep costs on plate is as much of a pain in my ass as just transferring some gold from one character to another. new players get hit hard by upkeep, and if they want 2 play some loaded ridiculous build with a bunch of pricey shit, then let them do it. upkeep really does punish the people that shouldn't be affected by it. prox xp would be a good idea
here are the moderators replies:
I asked him if it was possible for cRPG to get its own proper thread again
after the first reply I then told him I wanted a thread on the more active taleworlds forums to explain what cRPG has to offer and whatnot
