I haven't played since Mid-November. Someone sent me message on steam about a battle so i checked the forums ona whim. Saw the recent patches and that they still haven't reset strat like promised 3 months ago when it takes so little effort. See that the game-breaking changes Tydeus added are still in place and they actually put him as a councilmember on voting new item changes (weird since he wasn't even named for any of the recent item changes and i don't think he even plays anymore at least he seemed to have quit by the time I quit last November.)
CRPG dead - blame extremely lazy devs and Tydeus the Tool
I would love to play if it was still enjoyable, started off great and has mostly been getting mangled into less and less fun of a game over the years, with that fun degeneration rapidly escalating with Tydeus' changes. Hopefully a different dev will add a mod to mount and blade 2 making singleplayer mode into multiplayer, which is pretty much the basic idea of what crpg has always been.
