Are people still playing this ?
« on: July 15, 2020, 04:39:42 PM »
I was not head up myself about graphics and still am not. I loved this with 100's in like a Carrier off shore people taking off guns firing all the time. I think the creators are geniuses but is it really still going ?? I would like to know before I sign up again for what for me was the once the greatest on line game ??

Hi Yarbles,

100+ consistently in prime time US time zone evenings.    How long have you been out?  Do you know there is a battleship task force now?   Wisconsin or Iowa-class, can't recall.  But its used to pound bases before amphibious landings, or duel other surface ship groups.   Like before, the game can be a lot fun - its all what you make of it.

You dont need 800 players to have a blast here, its all about the map, and how you interact with it.  I will say, some of these maps among other things, choke this gem of a game out of its real potential of the old days.

Numbers are lower but I’ve come back and am enjoying as much as I use to. There’s nothing else close to it out there.

Hah!  Good to see you again, dude.

Yarbles, give it a try again.  It's hardly a long-term financial commitment.

Numbers are lower, but have been climbing with the plague keeping folks at home and bringing a lot of old names back.  Give it a shot.

True..... Just some of us lifers are not able to participate as much as we would want to due to physical disabilities, which really sucks donkey balls....

Long time, Yarbles! Good to see you posting.... Get back in the game.... That goes for you also, JimmyC

Plenty of people on the weekends. FSO on Friday reaches like 200 people. Even with 80 people on you can get some fun small intense fights in

Indeed. Actual occurrences of the bubonic plague are pretty common: it is rampant in Prairie Dogs in the midwest.
