Think the new Chivalry game will kill CRPG?

m&b 2 will probably do it.

My bro (Tommyhu) got me into the original M&B and into the Warband beta. He's also the one who got me into cRPG (took me months of prodding to finally cave and start playing, I always felt like the level gap between me starting out and the established players was too much to overcome to be competitive).  Glad I was partially wrong (there is a large learning curve compared to native and quite a large character stats gap to overcome)

people are like potatoes, they come in different shapes and sizes and they all are beautifull
masturbating while looking in a mirror isnt wrong unless its the rear view mirror and you are driving a school buss.

it doesnt matter if you are happiest person or an unfortunate weeper, a powerfull beast or a terrifying creature. we are all equal, in the eyes of the reaper.

Sadly I don't remember why I found out about the game.

I remember I did download the old beta demo from the talesworld site when you could only reach lvl 6.

Then buyed it after 2 weeks of non-stop arena fight!

This game was so fresh and no one beat it even today.  :)
A lot of people in the NA community know that Dach rages and in the process of his uncontrollable rage, he tends to kick people.

You've been warned! :twisted:

PWMod is probably my favorite mod of all of Warband...it's just that all the servers that ran it were fucking terrible.  Either they wanted to force you into their version of role-play, which required you type every fucking thing you were doing.  For example you couldn't walk in and start robbing a castle's coffers, you had to type something like "Looks suspiciously at the coffers" and then stand there for 5 minutes to give them time to respond.

Or they had terrible rules for faction combat, as in "You must declare war in person, give them 5 minutes to prepare, once you die the war is over" etc. 

I can see those rule sets if the game you're playing is a MUD (text based game) from 1985, but it's 2012 (was 2011) and we're playing a graphical game where you can see someone's actions.  If someone pulls out a weapon on you in real life, you're going to take it as a threat, so I consider someone pulling out a weapon on me and me responding (without ever typing) to be role playing...If someone's aiming a loaded crossbow at you, it's a pretty clear sign that they're threatening you.  And if you don't respond appropriately, you may die (or you may take your chances and try to kill them).

If you have guards posted on your bridge to your castle and some guy runs by ignoring your commands to stop, he's clearly a threat and can be dealt with appropriately.  But the admins would get in a tizzy if you warned him to stop and he ran off if you didn't type "I will kill you if you ignore me again" (which is pretty hard to do in a laggy server with the guy running full speed away from you)

I agreed with the rules about randoming, but role play (in graphical video games) is a hell of a lot more than typing your actions. 

Such a shame, because it's a very very good mod (and the modder even said he didn't like that the only servers running it were role play servers, it was meant more as a "faction vs faction vs faction vs faction" game where you're vying for control of the castles, resources, and cities.

I have just about no idea how I learnt about the original M&B. All I still know is that I thought the campaign map would be the whole game like some kinda medieval port royal or patricians.
As soon as I entered real time combat though I knew I had to get this game (I pirated it).
I legally bought warband as soon as it came out to redeem myself.

I heard from Loki about how great the original Mount and Blade was but just wasn't interested due to lack of multiplayer.  When I heard warband was coming out with multiplayer I bought it on release day.
