Yeah I think people are still here because, firstly regimental events, and secondly it is a really fun game.

The "Drama" is bad and makes lots of people leave in personal experience.

To change the subject back now to something more positive, should we still attempt a petition at least? If somebody points me to a good website for it I will happily set it up and sticky the thread :)

Easy...

I personally think because the game is so repulsive nothing is ever new. Siege use to be the sweetest game mode ever 84e and 33rd Siege use to be full all the time; when Napoleonic Wars came out as an official DLC and was on Steam. Later on people released it got boring and nothing to look forward to if you're not in a regiment. I personally remember when I wasn't in a regiment and over summer break I spent entire day from 8am to 5pm playing siege and that ruined the game for me I can't even play it today because its so boring and repulsive; Defense man the walls... attacks attack and get shot over and over again... Defenders get hit by a cannon ball...attackers breach in...sappers waste all the build points on planks so no defenses...But I'm happy people are making their own game modes like Jail Break and trying to get people back into the game.

Well speaking as an admin of the original server, I am not too happy that tons of people are copying our idea with jail break.

Copying ideas is the way of life, to be honest there needs to be some update adding things to NW to make it more fun and fresh

The 77y stopped hosting our siege event shortly after I joined. I guess the community just got bored of siege :(. Also we sometimes have to swap one of our lines over in the 77y sunday linebattle due to a lack of line regiments signing up :(

Groupfighting was an entirely foreign concept the first time it was introduced. Thank God that mode got copied.

Well that's life. You have that in the real world. Phones, Mp3, tv's, and misc. People copy people thinking they can make it better.

You should be happy that people are copying it, it means it's a good idea.

Jailbreak? What, is that a fun thing like 63eFootball?

NW is not dieing, some parts of the game are getting slightly smaller community will become more pure.
The trolls are at the last stage of there road to leaving the game for good, but others will get bored and then turn in trolls.

Far as regiments dying maybe u should look at your leader.

wa? So trolls are leaving and making it pure then more come?  ??? There will always be trolls, it's the internet. Personally I think this game is decreasing in size because it doesn't get the attention it used too.

Also, the games been out a while, people don't have to play it forever. I don't think NW will ever truly die, people will find it on a whim and start playing and be recruited.
