Not seeing a lot on the servers in terms of numbers over the past month. Has this game died or is there something we can do to ressurect it?
Not dead, just resting.
RO2, BO & to an extent BF3 have all been hit by SWTOR & the other games.
Some Admins & players no longer play RO2 or BO regularly due to work etc, or have lost interest and moved on.
I've been dealing with a family bereavement for the last few weeks, so I've not done much more than turn up,
but I should be able to throw a bit more energy into the games v. soon.
I know Sparko is as desperate to make a go of RO2 as I am, It's a great game after all.
I'm starting to think that maybe BO has had it's day, but that's for another thread.
As Blunt has already said it seems some people have moved on to other things with the release of BF3 and SWTOR although there are stil a few regulars on every wednesday which does pull some traffic onto the server.
Our server has been more active recently (not greatly i know), occording to gametracker we have jumped from rank 90 ish to rank 60 in the last month or so (we were rank 55 at one point), so we are getting players on but only 2 or 3 at a time.
The player base as a whole for RO2 is very small compared to other more popular games out there, so we have been struggling to pull people our way. It also seems that the majority of players who play this game are from over sea's and tend to play on their local servers (because of pings etc i presume) and also when chatting to a few people we have hit a bit of a language barrier.
I had posted a message about the community on the official Tripwire forums but as yet have had little or no reponse, i could give that a bump.
I havent been as active recently mainly due to work but i am starting to have a bit more time so i will be able to dedicate it a bit more accordingly.
Tripwire are also hoping to release a DLC for RO2 this year (Rising Storm) so this could help boost numbers if its any good, although they arn't sure whether this will be free or chargable as yet.
I will have a think and a chat with the admins to see if we can do somthing to get the numbers increased, its a great game and would be sad for it to die off so soon.
