Has Bzflag grown too big??
Has Bzflag grown too big??
Im not saying it has, just throwing the idea to the sharks(you) but i think that there is a lack of intimacy(not sexual, just closeness) between players, at least IME in my experience

All I can say is no. Based on other internet games I've played, just be glad MiniClip or MoFunZone hasn't put BZFlag on their sites, then it would be a fricking noob overrun game! I can give you an example, I'm a paying member on the game Runescape and there are way too many noobs with bad additudes and beg for stuff. Consider yourselves lucky.
I'm baaaaaaaaack!

How long have you played bzflag? I've played it for a while. A long while. And yes I've seen it go from small to big. At times I thought too big, but the game has adapted well. I believe it will continue to adapt to allow it to grow bigger.Phalanx wrote:Im not saying it has, just throwing the idea to the sharks(you) but i think that there is a lack of intimacy(not sexual, just closeness) between players, at least IME in my experience

I've been playing since then and before that. 10 people on a server is/was not alot "back then" In Dec of 03 I started my ducati team. Ducati and the league was reaching its peak activity. Ducati was full regularly, and the obs slots were full, and the match servers had matches going quite regulary and people observering them. Bzflag was big back then too. Secret place had come up to replace turkeymoon group. Hepcat/pillbox (the original) was soon to start (i was an admin there). so yes, bzflag was big back then, its grown some since then. But back then we had a massive influx of new players (from 03-04)Phalanx wrote:i have been playing for about a year and a half, i started around christmas '03, and yes, i remember that then, if there were 10 ppl on a server it was alot. now, 10 is not all that unusall

Re: i lose
no no no, this wasn't a battle, not the point. just merely a correcting of views and outlooks. This wasn't a point of win or lose.Phalanx wrote:OK, i lose this battle, you guys win, dont know why i brought it up anyways

Yeah. When I first started GU was not often near the top and the one time I played it I found it too hard. I would play a lot on a server buy some guy called skater3000 or something, which had a big ring on the ground, with steps and a tele going up to the top where there was a big X with a base at each end. You could get awesome ricos by shooting laser from the top, through the tele to the bottom, into the ring...
But I never see that server anymore. A few weeks after I first tried GU and found it hard, it wasn't there anymore, I thought it had gone... but now it is back and is very often at the top of the list, it also has its own league.
And now I play GU more than all the other servers I play, put together.

So when did you try it first?

There is a player called rufus... Might have been his (her?) server.
And yes. babel rules. It's far better than Overlord.
Saturos: I believe I have been playing for almost 12 months now...
But I defiantly remember the first or second time I logged onto bz, I found a server with the Hix map, but I kept dying and left. Then a week or two later looked for it and couldn't find it... But, that does not matter. What does is that it is always at the top now and the league is doing great.

Why? Why? Why!?
Why do you all keep calling it a GAME? It's REAL--it is I tell you!
