 Re: Bugs, bugs, & more bugs
So one server that you liked shut down, and that constitutes servers and players dropping like flies? Okay. Big D wrote: I, for one, am tired of repeating the same thing over and over with no results. Maybe if you repeated something constructive, you'd get better results. The only person I've ever seen even attempt to compile a useful list of bugs in v1 is Vid Kid, and it's been a long time. Now that JP has some time to work on the game, perhaps you'd like to contribute some useful details.

I've corped with you in two games the last few months. and Id prob. Put you in the top five players I've seen since I've been back.(IMO) I set up the lottery game because it was an idea I had that we could all set aside our differences and play together, and we did. You and cruncher hate each other. but you corped well. Maybe its time the v1 people and the v2 did the same for the good of our little community which is ever getting smaller. I say we set aside the past and work on moving forward from here If JP is willing and able to do so. And BD if you really are quitting well I don't feel sorry for it and I have lost some respect for you today. My $2.00(I figure with inflation its gotta be atleast two dollars now) SK

He said the only games he likes its the ones that he can run around and kill other people with all the grahics and stuff. I would guess that most of us are around 40 now or over. when were are gone so is tw.
sk I would agree with you. My oldest son started me playing TW late '80s. Younger one joined us mid/late 90s. Both more or less quit when they married. I remember mentioning TW to friends late 90s; when they heard that it was text based, they politely lacked interest. They were in their thirties at the time. Kav

SK Don't read to much into it, this is the 3rd or 4th time I have seen this from him in the last 2 or 3 years. He will be back in a couple months just like always.

 Re: Bugs, bugs, & more bugs
I'm not ashamed to say I left because of the shitty attitudes found in the one forum players actually visit. I won't call players out by names but we all know who they are. At times I myself have been guilty of contributing towards the overwhelming terrible few. I still visit this site to see if things have changed, they haven't.
This subject has been done to death. Gameplay mechanics while annoying (specifically; for me, photon timings) in V2 contribute but don't ultimately decide to not contribute or play anymore. In the end for me it's the players themselves I'm tired of.
Best of Luck to those who refuse to let this game die and we all know BD will be back. He has quit at least twice in the last two years and either posted under some alias or just came back when he believed people forgot about his grandiose gestures.

 Re: Bugs, bugs, & more bugs
While it might be true that D could have been more helpful about reporting bugs, I don't think it's his job.
People will leave when they get tired of the game. Many of them aren't going to bother posting a goodbye message.
I hope D is just ticked off at circumstances, and is not really leaving for good, but if he is, that's entirely up to him. We can bash him for his reasons if we really want to, but I don't think that's gonna help.

 Re: Bugs, bugs, & more bugs
I originally left not because of any bugs. or angry traders. i originally left feeling bored of it.
I came back briefly years later and had some fun again. but politics came into play and well I tired of it again. I'm sure I'll poke my head in again and try again, but at this time i'm just content mucking around with projects. some even related to trade wars. so who would have thunk.
i've met a lot of really cool people in the years i have played. and i'm happy to have met them and corped with them.

 Re: Bugs, bugs, & more bugs
Difficult to detect lurking.
I'd put money on April 1st, €1, approx $1.30. How do I wager, and how might I collect? I'd give odds 10:1
