Yes, you have to worry about there maybe being a solar storm in 2013! It's horrible, its effects could even *Gasp* be worse than an ash cloud's. But hey, don't worry, because it'd last shorter than  an ash cloud.

But would it be international? If it's just Iceland getting scorched I can live with it. Also, 2013 is my holiday year, where I will fly to every country in the world (not visiting, just to the airports then on to another airport - I call it Airport Tour Twenty Thirteen, which is what it will say on the T-Shirt), so I am slightly concerned about this news, and don't appreciate your sarcastic tone!

Don't forget that there was a steam sale during the holidays / right before the patch. Lots of new players just giving it a try, and many leaving after some days, that's inevitable.

Player base looks stable to me.

How the hell would you know?  :rolleyes:

Mate, you might want to check a search engine of your choice for the meaning of the word, protip, it's not based on the nick chadz or whatever gives you that paranoid impression.

I'll just have to look for a certain screenshot a few months ago when TW servers were down and we had peasant wars and out of the blue irc://shazbot appeared on his horse and with a gun :o Never forget!

Sure.

I know for a fact it isn't chadz, and that rumour has been going around for ever, and it's been disproved many times. It's someone who knows how to add the irc:// nick, but isn't in irc. Guess who!

Anyway, back to the Solar Flares - I didn't read any of those articles because I've come up with a plan. I'll spend the rest of the year worrying endlessly about the Mayan stuff, then if everything seems ok at the end of 2012, I'll read those articles.

It'll be dead roughly 11 months from now, actually. AND SO ARE WE ALL!!!

11 months? U know we're still in 2011, which means we will still survive this X-mas and the new year.

Btw, do u guys think superman is gonna die 21/12/12?

Because that's difficult to do.

That basically limits it to being 90% of the Warband player-base. =P

There are still enough people online at any moment. But I like to see more people playing together, even if it's a dirty unwashed grinding mob. Only problem with that is internet infrastructure which ins't good enough to support more than 200 players being at one place swinging at each other. Pecores server BT1_EU4 pre patch when full was laggy as hell, it was great fun but lag was a big issue.

I like games like Warband and Battlefield and I would like to see and play online version of Total War game where would be no NPCs :)

Hmm... I am not 100% sure if there are less player in total, but since amount of xp and gold are based on time - some will naturally prefer a less crowded server, since it opens for more "personal" gameplay, or less chances to get a random bolt to the head. ( i have skipped the last page, so there might be some similar replies )

I personally, take long breaks between games now. I can play for 30 min - do something else, and play for an hour or so later the same day, then take few days away from M&b. And I belive many are doing the same thing.

Some will disagree, but these days - a game without some sort of grind ( gear/skills/achievements/global high-scores/whatever else you might think of ) is not living for a long time. It is like 3D graphics, you expect it from a game. Its a fact. There are simply too many other games. The gameplay alone is holding only for some time, since there are some new titles coming out every day. Every day. ( Monday Night Combat is a blast! And its 10 Euro only. A pizza that i am eating right now costs 14 Euro. )

Same as i did not get married with my first girlfriend when i was 16, to live "til death do us part" - I do not want to stick to the same game, if it does not have any new tricks left. Yes, missionary is the most comfortable and overall best value for your time, but there have to be some more achievements to unlock there...

I might be just bored here, but really, 1 hour of M&B a day - is enough now. Its still fun, but 1 hour is enough.
