Title: Is community making a comeback or is it ready to lay down and die?
Post by: antslimey on February 22, 2016, 05:13:13 pm
What are your thoughts for this community right now? Make predictions about the future for this game like when we will die out or if you think a comeback is coming or is happening right now.

I'm sure when BCoF is released it might make a small comeback.

Allthough WoR and Bannerlord are going to be great games also.

Itll die when Bannerlords comes out (which is later this year, I think)

However, BCoF might revive this community. Might.

Depends if War of Rights/Bannerlords doesnt steal too many people

I think NW needs to be updated. Some new units, or some stuff. More factions for example. these years playing with the same, with no other game based in the napoleonic wars like this.. people starts to get angry, or so, i think. Whatever, NW NEED to be updated. I understand NA community prefers an american civil war, but, europeans, we didnt have any other game based on napoleonic wars, neither factions like Portugal or Spain, important during the peninsular war are there. Italy isnt there. Ottomans isnt there. Europeans deserve an update, or other game like this but improved

Look at it this way. The 54th when it was led by stox vinago and I would average around 45-50 players per event.

It's been over a year and a half since we disbanded. We are now fielding the same numbers with a totally different player base. The game is growing and dying in intervals. You see waves of new players, you all just need to capitalize on it.

The idea that Napoleonic Wars is dying is completely wrong. According to Steam data we had approximately 2000 more players on Warband in March than during the same month last year. Moreover, Napoleonic Wars retains more players than native, as it was clear during summer 2015 when Native servers were far less populated than NW servers (and got saved by the free weekend). The population of NW servers is roughly the same as one year ago: one big server filling between 140 and 200 slots (33rd Siege last year, NRP now), followed by another server filling around 100 slots (15thvsBots or Trench_Battle last year, Minisiege now), and tropical paradise as popular as ever.

Just because you look at steam stats does not mean the regiment scene or competitive scene is thriving.

Its extremely close to being dead. Many reasons for that, including its got to the point where nobody wants to sit on pub servers recruiting anymore.

Cant speak for the EU side but here in NA there are several events that still hit 200 most weeks, the NANWL has more regiments than ever, and there are multiple other events and tournaments currently being run.

Hardly "extremely close to being dead".

Many players prefer to dismiss facts because they are fed up with the game, especially those who started playing when the game was at its peak. The truth is that many "community" members hardly play the game anymore, they only take part in a few events per week and they forget that there are players who are not part of any regiment and who can play hours per day on public servers.

Energy and effort keeps any organization running. That is true with regiments. If people don't recruit they die. If you don't enjoy being apart of a large regiment anymore. Thats another matter entirely. Stop making assertions that NW is dead.

NW is doing fine and is in the same shape as it was two years ago. I have my differences with Max, yet I have to say this.

 Without the wonderful work by the admin teams of NWRP and Minisiege. NW would be much darker place.

Yeah, when I was recruiting I got most people from steam groups of dead regiments. Back in the day when I was really active, now I go in that column of guys who are comming on 2-3 evets per week.  :-[

While I can't say much about the community, I think it will live on.
However, I think the game will lost activity once the next big thing comes out.
The gameplay to begin with was quite glitchy and bad, and the only reason I think why people played NW is because people couldn't find an alternative. Additionally, it already had an active community in the Mount and Musket mod.

Well,I don't know about regiments and events but NWRP has like 180-200 people on for hours at a time,while keeping at least 80-100 throughout most of the day.I'd say that ain't too bad. NW's period of glory is obviously long gone but it's still too good of a game to die out.

Interesting think I've seen is there are actually two communities: The old players, who take part in regimental linebattles and are the majority of the users on this forum
Then there's the public community. Most of them don't even know this forum exists and some of them don't even realize or just don't care there are big linebattle events with lines of players because they enjoy playing alone.

I haven't seen a big drop in the number of players in the public servers. In fact, most drops are caused by servers shutting down but there always seem to rise new servers with new interesting rules, like minisiege, that just explode the number of players on public servers for a while.

Personnaly I think, that the community isn't so active than the last years. Well, it is a small chance to epic comeback, because many of the people don't play NW or they have already forgotten it. I am a veteran player and I have seen the rising community on top when NW came out. I will soon leave the community for irl reasons. And I think I am not the only one.

I personally would say as well that the community as whole isn't dying anytime soon  - however there is lower number of players interested on competitive or regimental side of the Napoleonic Wars. Partially due lack of interest on joining clans/regiments and older players leaving the community for varying reasons. Of course though there is certain exceptions for that as well.
