Should we do something to get more active players to e+?
I think you all are overreacting.
1. Excessive never dies, there is always a fool who rebuild it.
2. Did i say you all overreacting ?
3. Instead of ppl buying new server, "mostly with pay pall" why don't they share the servers, example: i want a server i see WGVD has enough server, i contact WGVD server admin and ask if they have a spare or an not used server and then donate true pay pall the money so i have for my clan a train server. or with 2 clans buy 1 server.
4. You all overreact
you already start talking this community is dying bla bla bla, bullshit its dead when there is no one to play against
was that 5 ?
come on ppl don't think like this!
ok im with rena that we need more organization, but some of us are working 4 it (each form), the rank sistem reborn will help and from that plataform can born others like leagues/cup organizator or players stats organizator (just in case first plataform is good wellcomed xD)
anyway this first is abolid that bad environment that coming to the comunity, kmon this is a game, have fun, for wars u just need see tv news...
Essay title: Environment, energy and such as
True, game developers are starting to put to the side goals like bugless games with deep, balanced gameplay and complete feature set, because Kids will play any game if environment is excellent. Now they put all their efforts on building environment(.
It's like reading an essay from an 8-year-old about peace and freedom. Or even better, it's like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=WALIARHHLII
Embarrassing...

Old games start losing popularity after a certain point, especially when the dev team has it underwater for almost 3 years (let alone the whole bugs/gameplay/etc which i won't get into). Live with it and stop making it worse but constantly pointing at it, really.
From an e5/e5r view i think it is very important as rena said to have a nice environment, newcomers will leave if they are bombarded with 'fuckin noob' 'omg you friggin lucker' etc. Politeness and respect seems a bit too thinly spread towards new players in servers. Yes, they may sometimes spam and spawnkill but if they dont know any different and no one tells them then how are they going to know ? Admittedly language can be a huge barrier here.
From what i have seen i would say that the excessiveplus forum has sooo many members but not enough regulars, and i think this might be because there seems to be a group which have created a microcosm where only a few exclusives have been accepted. The forum needs to be a little broader and more welcoming to new members. If someone recieves a surly or horrifically sacastic post, do you think they are likely to return? I know most on here are male adults/ adolescents (sorry for the generalisation) but what seems lost is etiquette and manners and age and sex should not be an excuse for surly or satiric post.
It seems that if the attitude is 'E+ is going right down to china town' then it is most likely that it will happen with pessemistic attitudes. Be optimistic that e+ can be revived then it stands much more of a chance of happening
On the front of E5r in borg servers and project 9 they are mostly quite full round the clock, however saturation of servers i think will only worsen the problem. A new little mod called madsod (rights to panda and ney) has also opened a lot of new doors for new players aswell as it is a rather unconventional fun mod (and competitive too) loosely based on the much shunned sodmod.
thx for reading

You forget Hypernite and Tarasbuljba. Their servers have generated a whole new breed of regular players. just check out Borg,Project 9, Beer server.
Nope, i did definetly not forget tarasbuljba. About hypernite we can speak, but definetly not about tarasbujba.
that is my personal and very own oppinion.
if u compare attidude, kind and manner, background-interest, character, u will find a big difference between "glizda, camel and maybe hypernite" compared to taras....
i think this comment is a little unfair ... taras's servers and payments of servers (now in hands of faster) have been the backbone servers for e5r undisputibaly . Taras also had a very good attitude on how servers should be and that is why they were very liked servers because the 'impurities' were filtered out, you were rude and disrepectful to anyone you were shown the metaphorical door. I completely understand that you and taras have had your disagreements and i didnt visit the beer server that much so i wouldnt really have know what would have happened plus side, but you cannot dispute that because of the borg servers, numbers have remained high and continue to remain high in the e5/e5r sector
oh and sorry for double post :oops:
It is not important is it 1.04 out or not. People will enjoy in game as it is in case that all other is perfect.
it is a very important factor if 1.04 is out or not.
look at it this way....
the typical product life cycle:-
introduction, growth, maturity, decline, withdraw.
e+ is in which stage?
I would say decline.
one of the following will happen:-
rejuvination.. (extending the product life cycle) by the introduction of 1.04.
discontinue.. (withdraw) team abandons and withdraw from the mod completely.
harvest.. (extending the product life cycle) by offering the source and further development to the community.
I certainly dont believe its the fault of any particular action or non action by any of the players or server operators within this community. the longer it is before 1.04 is released the closer we move to the withdraw stage.
I believe the best way forward is the harvest option.
@Icecube
This comment would be unfair if i would have to thank tara for something, but there is nothing. Even i play often on his server, it is just because there is currently no interesting alternative "currenlty".
Meanwhile i play mainly on camels servers, since the skilllevel is higher there, even with a bit higher ping.
And icecube, ur post do not touch me in any way, also because of the posting date, does definitly show the interest for this forum, if there is a interest, which can be really doubt.
Look i dont have much time either, but when i am at pc at home, i look also always here. And the same i say about tara... And i just want to underline AGAIN, this is my very own oppinion.
And it is not up to you, what i have to say or noth, what is unfair or not, when i speak "out of my sight". You can speak in generel and for yourself, but not concerning me!
Now u can fall over my poor grammar or whatever, or let hangout ur smartass-additude, hf.
pls pay attention to more change,
so ppl dont know which server to check´n´try next!
>>>More Server with different GAMETYPES!
>>>More Server with different MAPS!
Server-Admins should talk with each other and make plans

Gametype + Maps = Rotation.---

mmm i dont come on this forum much because i dont have that much time... nothing to do with interest. mmm i have the smartass attitude, because I am the one who has posts lacenced with sarcasm :roll: i dont know why you are being so defensive and having a tantrum because i gave a different view to you. Deal with it...
