Bring back the Melee server

Ok I just want to state my opinion quickly. And please dont move this to the Suggestions forum.

I play cRPG because it has a melee system like no other game and love getting into group fights. But for me the fun is ruined by being hit by projectiles stunning you or by getting bumped by horses and I'm pretty tired of qqing about it.

Now Im not saying remove ranged or cavalry, since they were part of medieval combat and they should be featured in the battle servers for those who want to fight full scale battles. But shouldn't there be an option for those just wanting to fight small melee battles? I remember when I first got cRPG there was a melee server and I loved going in there watching people who knew how to block, fight. And it was awesome.

I recall there being an issue with activity on the server second time it was hosted. Not because no one wanted to play there, but because of the "you need to have atleast 8 players to gain multiplier" which kept people away from joining it.

Is there anyway we could get back the Melee server as an alternative to the other gamemodes, since we have like atleast 9 EU servers? And do something about the "atleast 8 players for multiplier" because it really kills the small servers. Maybe lower it to 6 or something.

It is good indicator that melee only is BORING AS FUCK if even 2h heroes prefer ranged infested battle over it. That´s why melee only server is always empty whenever it´s up.

Go to siege. Endless group fights. If you like to QQ, you play battle, if you like to have fun, you play siege.

That's far from the truth however. People prefer EU1 because it has more players and is bigger (with bigger maps), which also prolongs rounds meaning you'll not lose multiplier so often, in turn gaining more experience/gold. Melee only is/was a smallish server and since only a portion of the crpg base is exclusively melee, it had a smaller player pool to fill the slots from. Also EU1 has been around since forever while melee only wasn't as known, EU1 has always players on by default while melee-only needed to start from 0 players after every night, which automatically discourages players from joining an empty server over other servers.

There are plenty of reasons why melee-only had low popularity, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't because it was "boring as fuck". I had great times there and I'm sure the other regular players liked it there as well. Also the skill level of players was generally higher there.

I play c-rpg because as an archer, it's like playing cod4 or cs but the only difference is, is that people on cod4/cs know how to not get shot and have awareness. Maybe you should go play them you'll learn how to not get shot.
The difference here is enemies can't shoot back

EU1 has always players on by default
Actually, I've seen it empty a few early mornings during this Summer, which I don't think I've seen in previous years. Don't sleep nerds  :mad:

the thing i enjoyed most on mele server was the pace, was never any need to alt tab. and siege is just boring too much respawning and walking, i'd rather alt tab than that.

Ahhh, I had a chance to play on melee-only server few times. With 20 people there it was quite interesting (this server somehow made people stick together :).

The no-multi-till-8 systems was made (I belive) to prevent abusing. I think I would stick with that. Lack of people on such servers is rather fault of the way  balance works. I was rarely able to see well balanced teams. Also, without banner balance you can be often thrown into opposite teams (some ppl like to play together). On melee server team fo crushing everything cans have huge adventage (while on eu_1 archers and horsemen can counter those armours). Much depends on maps too.

That may work only with a new gamemode (guess everyone loves when new gm comes out).
Stop cheating.

This.
Tor,Cooties, Muffin, Kpu, rantrex, Ragni, myself, Bjord, couple of 22nds, Risens and tons of other players were permanently playing on the melee only server, hosted by Conquerworm.
If people would be aware of the fact, that there is a melee only server existing. It would be easily crowded.
Give us heroes a home plz, otherwise we will die out soon.

If your fun is ruined by archers and cavalry, you're playing the wrong game.

Check out Chivalry, they don't have cavalry.

"Wahhhh 2 out of the 3 classes this game has are ruining my fun, wahhhh"
