The Anglo-Zulu War / Zulu new permanent server and maps

« on: April 01, 2014, 12:29:30 am »

Hi just to let you know im setting up a server later tonight, by midday tomorrow at latest, on azw a permanent dedicated one, as the problem is there just arent any permanent servers..

I have already about ten friends who are big fans of the mod, and will be on it, i know there are dozens more of you who love the mod, but just dont play it because there isnt a permanent active server, well dont worry it will be up

It will be named simply zulu server, and there are new exciting fun maps and stuff.

In case you have uninstalled the mod the last version of it was

update got it running yesturday got about 8 people on, not bad for a first time server with little notice to people
most people have AZW uninstalled, and its a big ask for somebody to randomly take time out of their day to download and install a 800mb file, however i am sure more people will be redownloading it and joining us  as time goes by

Iron Europe / 'How could a mod die so fast' - It's not.

« on: March 29, 2014, 11:39:54 am »

I know that mods always have a shelf life, but there was so much buzz and anticipation for almost two years for this
two or three times the release date was put off,  there was so much hype

Barring the lag, it wasnt even that bad a mod, i just cant understand how with so much hype and enthusiasm, a player base could go from huge to meh, to non existen almost within a matter of weeks, and it literally is a matter of weeks, because two weeks from launch, i was struggling to see a server with over 30 players on it.

Very sad, and i think the devs know that bringing out a patch with improvements, isnt going to magically bring everybody back.

I personally think its human nature, people are like sheep, when one person goes everybody just goes.

Sigh, its like anglo zulu i mean that mod in itself was like its own game, it was so addictive, why the hell people just leave is beyond me, it was anything but boring.

I think the mount blade player base have the attention span of a goldfish, that is the only logical explanation
