thank you Central Scruteniser, i'm glad a player who remembers the original battlezone times agrees with me on some points. :) i hope a map or more that fits your description can rise to popularity again. you might remember the urban combat i have mentioned on this thread (when it was called bessler...

urban combat was the last server to get regular game play there. since it is gone, the old version has 'practically' died, not officially in the real sense, yes. i didn't mean it was the result of an intervention.. the increase i'm observing and care about is in the number of players who play ffa (o...

aging of the core players is not an alarming issue imo too. many have left for good, but the majority (since i've started bz at least) are more or less still around. i don't see it changing anytime soon, because the main motivation to play this game (for the experienced ones, but i believe generally...

yes, there are two types, but i agree with anathema that the 'n00b on a power trip' sort of admin is, and has always been less of a problem. for obvious reasons those n00b servers are usually short-lived and from what i see nowadays there are hardly any of them left anyway. the real problem is with ...

Idk, I like Mofo's language policy and find the "lang" plugin hilarious. There's nothing better about restricting the use of language through censorship, and the very idea that society has decided that certain groups of letters are inherently wrong, evil, or just rude regardless of contex...

i wouldn't worry about making a new map. even since the time 2.4 came out, some very good ffa maps have been created. they are simply not getting played on. new maps have even less of a chance compared to established ones like mystic valley, badgerking's, eria ziel, ancient & modern.. every time...

sorry const and whoever sacrificed their free time to develop 2.4 (i know there has been a lot of excitement and hope and hard work to get a new version out), but it really is not a development from a -purely- player's point of view. wg was much more fun in the old version (the strengths could alway...

it was a very good ffa map. zaphod had hosted it for ages. it would be nice to have it back.

i'm the primordial pillbox. i have evolved into green manalishi over millions of years of blood, tears and pwnage. you pillbox-wannabe newbs don't wanna upset me.. >( especially you bambino.

Something stange (in my opinion) happened, is there a ban list for Germans (IP). I got this news by the admin of the map "Metropolis". He told me there would be a ban for users with IPs similar to mine. Its because of the "swiss guy". Easy and Zeg9 know which guy I mean. This mo...

not a shock but very bad news all the same... we liked different bz styles but whenever the chance arose, it was always fun playing against and chatting with (*cough* + pwning) you. ^^ i can't thank you enough for hosting overdoze, my second favorite map ever, over the last couple of years and allow...

war pig, i agree with what you say. if only i could be equally successful in having fun on any given map.. meh.

being only partly on topic, and hoping not to offend anyone, can anybody please try to enlighten me as to what could be contributing to the popularity of the ziggurat map? is it the map design, the balanced gameplay, the sw with huge radius that kills no teammates, the eye candy, a combination of so...

and I am glad we have such a close and caring family of tankers all here to help and pwn each other. (That means you The Green Manalishi, I will never forget.) /me hails one of the best dodgers in the game, who luckily has little clue about using power flags so he can actually be pwnt from time to ...

war pig, you should not be amazed no matter how many people would mention you as a bz hero. thanks for your kind words about me. those who think i'm a gloating retarded ever-n00b must be wrong after all... :roll: I love to work my way to the bottom of the score board, then hunt him. "OMG I'm be...

i was wondering -but kept forgetting to ask- what the map was based on. i was thinking on a sci-fi book/film. so, there's actually liquid methane on titan's surface, which is a moon of saturn. :book: this adds suh wheat realism to the map. btw it would be so very cool if you could add saturn to the ...

wouldn't you wanna fry him, shock him, turn him into swiss cheese, sneak up behind and pwn him?

lol

hmm that's a lot later than i've last seen him. him being very busy is possible. lack of synchronicity is not..i often play when it's evening in america. also many others told me they haven't seen him in a long time. anyway, thanks for the feedback, pwn you soon.

ok, upping an ancient topic...i know i'm not the only one wondering about this. does anybody know what has happened to WHAMMO!? he used to be a regular on badgerking's (before that spiralzone) until he disappeared more than a year ago.. it was always fun to play against him.. and mess with him. ^^ i...

the map is great fun as it is. more objects, more variety, more fun.

i say h4x! even hard was impossible.. :green with jealousy:

LOL@cat's undisputed n00bness. that has sooo made my day. pwnzt!

some things appeared new to me. nice skillz show-off then. ^^ congrats really to everyone who contributed. the map is huge and it needs lots of players to be fun (except the initial sight-seeing stage is fun in any case). COME AND PLAY THIS NOOBS!
