Check this out... Vanya had suggested this many moons ago. But, the fools failed to see the errors of their ways... 'till now. Too bad they did not follow Vanya's advice and make it a Shoggy or MTW event, and stooped to using "inferior" blasphemous games instead.

Vanya hopes one day there will be something like this for Shoggy/MTW. Vanya sez... it would be way cool, even if the Horseman's dingy got lost at sea trying to cross the pond to get there... GAH Or, they could host it in Texas (ie, the center of the known universe...)

So, whaddya think? Would youz go to this if there was an MTW "quickening"/"gathering" like this?

That looks fun, too bad our MP is so shaky.

You can't drum up that level of interest with so many bugs in the mp interface. CA has made it clear they will continue to de-emphasize MP.

So be it, we are relegated to our little server.

to face facts MTW as a MP game is good, but lacks ease of accessability (you cant just log on shoot a couple ppl then bug off http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif)

imo CA should concentrate most on this (friendly foyer, the ability to get games "without fuss" hosted asap) to have a wider appeal, sadly in this department they have slipped below STW standards let alone CS quake unreal RTWC etc...

some nice STABLE foyer tools are needed

sorry - barry

I think what you will find is, when Activision took over the total war series of games they made some unfortunate changes to personnel or the key personnel that made the STW multiplayer interface moved on to other companies. It is obvious that the people who made this interface had no idea what was done in the old one, nor did they care enough about MP to think that it mattered much. If I remember correctly it was either Long John, Gil, or Ritchie who said that he had started on the lobby interface one week prior to its release. It can only be expected I gues given that Activision is mostly a console driven company whose past games catered to the fast reaction, action-oriented crowd. Of course, again . . .
