Official "Goodbye cRPG" Thread

[Mallets]

With 'Of Kings & Men' making progress and the servers truly being dead for days on end... I figure an official "Goodbye cRPG" thread was long over due.  Come say your "Goodbyes" and sign off here.

-----------------------------------------------------

So this is my goodbye to cRPG... the game itself... the Donkey Crew that made it happen... and the great community of degenerates that made it possible.

Seriously, it's been a blast!

First off, let me compliment the Donkey Crew for making a fantastic mod.  There's not a better medieval-simulation fighting game out there.  It's the game I longed for, for years & years.  And while Mount & Blade made it a reality... the Donkey Crew made it so much better.  The persistent nature of mod... building your character up over time... made for a truly unique Mount & Blade multiplayer experience.

Second, let me smile as I remember all the laughter that's come from this game.  Crying tears from laughter at someone's comment... or some idiots insane play that worked.  I love this community... because a majority of folks had a great dark-sense of humor.  You could always count on folks saying something inappropriate & funny.  And while some folks are true idiots... a majority of the terrible stuff that was said was because of humor.  Because folks knew it would make others laugh.  And I highly respect & love that about this community.

Lastly, let me stop for a moment... and give honest homage to how hard & competitive this game is.  It was not for the feint of heart!  cRPG is simply put... the most challenging game I've ever played.  It's certainly the most skill based game I've ever, ever, ever, ever played.  Some folks truly have insane skill.  We've all been there.  Not getting a single kill in your first week of play.  Finally steal-killing to get your first kill.  Learning to block 3 or 4 attacks in a row, then dying, but still feeling awesome cause you are learning.  Dying, but being proud you fought of 2 or 3 guys for 10 seconds.  Then eventually getting decent at dueling.  Then getting better and better and better.  And when you think you are good because you can destroy noobs with your eyes closed... some elite comes along and destroys you like you're a noob.  Seriously, the competition and player-skill in this game is amazing!

It's kind of sad reminiscing about the fun times I had.  But I'd rather be sad and officially say "Goodbye", then fade off without one.  I think Bobby says it best (video below).  I'll see you dudes in OKAM!!!

Much Love,

Mallets

No! I will become a CRPG watcher, I will stick to the last moment. I want to see the lover in my arms slowly die.

I shed a tear.

I will never forgive chadz n co for leaving the mod so desperate though they nailed OKAM, which is awesome.

Bye cRPG I'll be damned if I miss ya

Bit late, 99% long gone.

The days of 80 plus on siege server, loads of melee and some teamwork were the best gaming I have known with the exception of when Strat was really alive, a good few years ago now, when you could only get in battles if you were known and people cared (probably too much).

There is a small list of multiplayer games/mods that sort of define an era during my lifetime.  Sort of like when you recall a great song and remember exactly where your life was at that time.  CRPG is/was one of those games.

I'll miss playing this game and hope OKAM is just as great and even if you thought CRPG turned into a bundle of sticks toward the end at least try and give OKAM a shot if you had some fun here at one time.

ps: would be great to have one last CRPG blowout before OKAM is finally released.

So what am I supposed to do with my life from now on? ...

[AwesomeHail]

there needs to be one last epic event before OKAM gets released.
Still playing the mod, but it's really in a shrodinger state.

[Algarn]

Thing is, it's too late, 99% of the players moved on and can't be arsed to play crpg again.

I've been quitting cRPG at least a few times a week over the last few years.
