 Re: Pondering how many people have gone MIA or have left
Zang wrote: I was just going though the member list and was amazed at just how many people have actually left since about 2004 till now, this is by far not a complete list just people that had the highest number of posts, indicating they were most active: ....
Then of course Vulcan took at least Godzilla, Runaway Proton, and maybe a few others (?) with him to his own forum which from the looks of it appears to be on the verge of a ghost forum itself, only seeing mostly game rebangs posted by none other then the Sage himself, with a couple of posts each week by Parrothead, most without replies to them. A complete list would require access to the server login records and that would also leave out those that "guest/lurk" in. The list (replaced in the quote by ....) has a lot of people who are no longer involved in TW and have gone on to graphical games or who finally burned out on gaming (either due to real life or just burned out). It isn't surprising in regard to the number of people leaving the game or the forums. Everything has a cycle and what is surprising is that the game is still played at all and that there is a forum. If you would like a list that shows players from around 2001: http://www.thestardock.com/?cat=1If you are interested in something to read that is somewhat interesting: http://www.thestardock.com/fugitives/archive.html

 Re: Pondering how many people have gone MIA or have left
Great find. I 'think' that list was written in the late 90's. It might have been archived at the stardock after epicenter's webpage went offline.

 Re: Pondering how many people have gone MIA or have left
Im still around. Just not playing. I am having fun with guitar hero since I found out how to put any song I want on it. I have been doing that.
I still may poke in a game here and there, but right now, I dont even have the itch to play...

I am active in 1 game atm... and am now a Game op at MTW to help Data out...

 Re: Pondering how many people have gone MIA or have left
Someone should really do a new list like that. Include some of the good ones that aren't playing anymore. Seriously.
