Still very much alive

[ichi]

I was on VI for a bit today for the first time in a long while - been off exploring Rome.

Fighting was difficult since the command and control is different - more than once I missed a move when I tried to right click to send a unit - but there were 40 or so in lobby so there were some very good games.

I've been trying to understand if the RTW interface is really clumsy or is it just me and my preferences/reluctance to change.

I think as long as Rome is as it is, there will be life in the MTW VI lobby.

Hey Ichi!

With fellow FFers, we try to play online MTW-VI on wednesday, 9pm-midnight CET (euro) time.

Hope to see you then

Regarding the fact how much I love Medieval and how difficult Rome is to play, both in terms of bad connections, inability to join games et cetera, I would love to join and play a little bit of Medieval.

However, by this time only the old veterans are playing the game and I would have as much chance as a very fat cow in the swimming contest with very hungry sharks!

Could anyone make an assessment on how many M:TW players are still around - online?

Actually persons experienced in the game are currently the minority in the VI lobby, and that's somehow reasonable, considering the amount of time some people have spent during the last years playing the same game-engine constantly....on the other hand, there are some cases that can't be cured

Max people I 've seen is about 70-75 during 20.00-22.00 GTM but numbers fluctuate constanly. Undisputable is the fact that MTW is welcoming more and more new and old players again (15 or so days ago it was 30-40 players max online). How long will this keep on, only CA and nostalgia can tell

Good to see that MTW multiplayer is still alive and kicking.
I joined the community fairly late, so there is still a lot to explore for me in that game too.

So, Voigtkampf, if you want another fat cow to keep you company in that swimming pool, just drop me a line and we can arrange something

I’ll make sure not to forget that, Nigel! As soon as I get some time, I’ll get back to this generous offer; and post an announcement that a big, fat and pretty dumb cow has entered the pool! Rome somehow simply doesn’t provide it; though I like the 3D transition, it simply isn’t it, if you get my meaning… Both in terms of MP accessibility/playability and troubles with connections/lag/sync… And the surrounding also isn’t the most interesting one… GAH!

I might be playing M:TW online sooner then I thought!
