Good point, and I agree. If it’s impossible, no worries, I’ll move on. I just think this game deserves to live to its full potential and right now, it’s most definitely not.
In my opinion guys like LLama and Debrunski are doing a great job in building up a community, getting people hyped up and interested, and even attracting new players. But I think this online mode is like a hole in a sinking ship, I think all their work is going to waste because there is no in-game community. The online mode is dull and lifeless. When I was a kid in 2002, the online mode is what made this game addicting. People were doing rushes all day, and everyone was excited to get into a cow game and level to 80 as fast as possible (the /COW channels were PACKED with thousands of players. I never saw that once since launch, and that’s all because the player base is split up.
That’s a great question. I’m hoping the PTR database udpates will help out with making any server changes in terms of connecting more players together (if that ever happens).
