Heavyarms Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 This place used to be bustling with talk, always someone talking about the game. There is now practically no talk here. What happened? Where did everyone go? There's a murder afoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithcloak Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Yea, for weeks before I joined I watched thease forums and saw all this activity and wanted to join so badly! (my dad didn't want me joining untill I turned 13.) But now with my B-Day about 1 or 2 weeks behind me all of a sudden every thing slows down! What did I do! Did I do somthing! Its ok, these forums are still great, but no one ever is there to answer as much. Oh well. Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Although there were already a zillion threads about this, I haven't replied to one yet. Let me just say that since GB is already released, people lost interest over the game, and we lost members. Add to that the merging, which somewhat discouraged some people, and the recent increase in spam (like this thread) and flames, and you get the point.

Tie Guy Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Yep, what sherack said. GB has been out for a while, and frankly, theres nothing to talk about anymore dealing with it. Thus, the GB fourm kinda died, and the off-topic forum slowed down due to lack of people coming in to hear and learn about the game. Don't worry, this happens to every board after the game is out. But when it all comes down, you are left with only good forummers who know each other and have a great time, even when there is no game-related material to talk about.

xwing guy Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Yeah you're right, soon they'll be only a few of us left. But at least now we can post about JK2 over at the JK2 forums since its near release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lord Tirion Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Now the voice of reality will tell it like it is..me. "Add to that the merging, which somewhat discouraged some people, and the recent increase in spam (like this thread) and flames" Not to mention moderators deeming everything spam, thus, making forummers leave. Everytime somebody posted what was on their mind EVEN in the off topic forum, somebody or a moderator, would come in yelling spam spam spam! It got old and people left. SWGB: It is a good game, but monotonous. Dont get me wrong, I really enjoy the game, but its just a horse of a different color when you have already played games like star craft and age of empires. Soon as all the guess work, speculations, and excitement on what to expect was satisfied when the game was installed on our computers, people stopped talking about it because you can only go so far with a RTS game such as this. This is not like a MMORPG where you are over whelmed with information and new patches with new weapons and quests being installed that forums never seem to die on that subject. Perfect example of this was the Senate. Its not that the Senators were lazy in not creating the tournies, it was the fact that people lost interest so fast and the forum was dying really fast as well. I gave up my spot because in all actuality, it was going nowhere fast. So now my friends, guild, and myself are looking forward to Dungeon Siege. Only reason I stayed this long on this forum is because I was a Senator and owed it to you, the forummers. But like I said, after all this time we spent as a Senate, we had nothing to show you folks and that cost us dearly. I tried to liven up the forum with some fun polls but that too loses it taste. So this is my last week posting here as well. So I wish all of you the best of luck in life and in your onling gaming adventures. I had some great times here along with some frustrating ones, but overall, I enjoyed what I made of it and really enjoyed some of the first topics that were posted here during my first few months.

Paragon_Leon Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 ...then i'll take this opportunity to challenge you to a farewell-match, Tirion. As far as the Senate goes; the basic set-up is there, but getting servers, software and other stuff going your way is taking time for sure. I'm working on a ladder system right now that will either be automated or moderated. These forums are not dead by a long shot, but i must say that i miss strategies being posted. What is your favourite attack ? What makes it work ? Post recorded games for Galacticbattles.com !! These things will regain interest in the game, as it has kept Age Of Empires going for...right... ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_drake Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 i hope so i love these forums i just ask you people to stay and talk why should it matter that the game is losing populairaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 These waves come and go guys. It seems to me that some people around here view the forums only as something ment to entertain them, and when it doesn't, they get upset. The people complaining about the posting slump could always start a thought provoking thread or two to get things going, but instead, they usually choose to just complain about other people not posting good threads.

Allways blame the moderators and the Forum rules... First you want SPAM (i.e.-Tell You I Will, and Friends)... Then you don't want SPAM(i.e.-500 people leaving or yelling because there was too much SPAM) And now you want SPAM (i.e.-This topic and about 50 others) We adjusted to all these complaints. We'll adjust again if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthfergie Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 and risk them coming back multiple times and complaining to everyone in existance??? Soon this forum would stick of death if we did that... (although the thought is tempting;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
