NW isn't dead and sorry to tell you but it won't die until BCOF is released. Can you really see old regiments packing there bags and going? I severely doubt it, until an alternative arrives people will continue to play, yeah sure the community may lose one of two here but in my experience most of these people end up coming back. As for the whole "community are a bunch of assholes" and actually naming people you 'think' he means, can we take that off the forums please?
In summer we will get an influx of players and new regiments as per usual.
