Is Crpg "popular?"

[Erathsmus]

What is the Status on the Crpg community, are its numbers actually growing or staying stagnant?

I have always thought this mod was amazing, and to me it seems like there is alot of people involved. Do any of you know mount and blade players that don't play Crpg?

Also, is Strategus/Crpg ever planning to be officially released? If it does, will it be on steam just like With Fire and Sword, or were those made by the original developers and they have the only rights to sales?

I heard from Stacey that C-rpg was popular but Stacey's only popular because she puts out and she's not as cool as Jenny is and OOOH my gawd.

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..

Sorry you're 2 strat's too late to call it popular.

[Braeden]

Its popular in the entirely tiny M&B community

I was around during that time, and I didn't notice the difference in real player counts. There were alot more alt farmers, but it didn't feel like there were alot more fully active people.

Mount and blade Is too hard for the majority of new players. The learning curve is steep as fuck, and honestly we need something like HoN's PSR rating to do team balance. I've talked to people in my UNI and the ones that tried claim that its way too hard and they rather play the other games (HoN, SC2, Battlefield etc).

I've also tried to get friends to play this (one of whom is a hardcore Starcraft player), and they struggled with the curve of it, very steep, too hard to get any kind of reward initially. There's also a lot of extra need-to-know stuff to get the hang of in cRPG. If cRPG ever gets near release, it would most definitely be wise to have a non-forum file of the compiled guides in a cRPG manual bundled with the game. If the game population is to grow,you'd need some kind of allocated noob server, with gear and level restrictions.

When you launch the game, it should reffere you to a tutorial for Crpg. Much like the training in warband single player.

Have some stupid npcs be like; Chambering is when you etc...

You get gold by etc...

You can buy stuff at etc...

Disregarding the effort cost in scripting this... +1

This mod needs one huuuge guide for new players with basics, formulas explanation etc.

I suppose the positive way of thinking about this is that this game has DEPTH! Wikis are open-source, people could get to work on that surely?

Games with steep learning curves often develop the following: A very dedicated player base, a relatively small player base, and frequent complaining. Do any of you think this follows the Crpg title?
