Truth is: The playerbase is smaller.

But as long as you`re playing with someone else it shoudn`t be a problem. Just find some playmates.

Thruth is,pro players migrated to TLA mk2,wich is basically fonline 2238 3 years ago.Now the game is rotting because serious devs went away,probably due to real life businesses.
The devs who still stays here clearly stated that they don-t have a precise plan about game developing,and they just do what they want to do with their game in their free time.Playerbase took this hard hit and went away.More serious people who actually want the fonline community to prosper and grow fun and strong,you can find them here.Enjoy,all the old guys are here [size=78%]http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,28460.msg254008.html#new (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,28460.msg254008.html#new)[/size]  enjoy your stay.No nerfing,much fun.

Truth is: The playerbase is smaller.

Was it ever really that big?
I mean the most online ever was 900~
And that was when the game had spread by word of mouth on forums that nobody cares about.

Other then that it was just 500~ 300~ with ups and drops.

Still,compared to now that is pretty big.
But there is little we can do.Since everyone who left has seen everything or enough for his taste and got bored.

That's the problem,the game stagnates quite quickly.
But you never know,the legendary "soon" update might happen any day.
or not

I think they should do one more update before they give up. You know, like a "goodbye, have fun" gift, before you move onto a different server.

It's because he's playing forum, not the actual game.

Most online ever ingame was nearly 600, I think.

All the serious factions moved to TLAMK2. It has more content that's actually fun, MANY more weapons and varied, viable builds, and competent devs who frequently communicate with the community.

Yea 2238 is coming to the dead.. But that few players what still play still can do good action in smaler number.
Title: Re: Is fallout dead after 2 years?
Post by: Thorzain on May 26, 2013, 11:40:18 am
Well i thought about it but i probably wont play i play SC2 most of the time and practice a lot, i thought i would just play 2238 for a laugh and since the player-base is smaller i feel somewhat sad ... But i will try and stay active on the forums and talk about past experiences ;D did anyone ever meet a guy called "Floodnik"?  LoL that's his main account, he was active but he broke away aswell but i wonder if you guys ever met him? Played in 2011 last time hmmmm not sure. Yh so a got a couple of questions ... 1) are there still suicide bombers ... i remember one guy would walk into NCR find a crowd and BOOM lol funny shit. 2) how often do BIG things happen like Frank Horrigan inviting blue suits into a mine and you have 1 minute to get in and out to scavenge for stuff .. and when there was a massive Enclave attack on NCR killing all the guards so NCR was lawless and crazy stuff. i have more but well just answer these first please.

The point of suicide bombing is to kill as many persons as you can. So killing one person via suicide bombing is just not funny. The second thing you're talking about is the event. It happens sometimes, but as people previously said the playerbase is a way smaller than before. However I still believe people will come here.
As far as I know Floodnik is not playing anymore. He appears on forum sometimes. Mostly in the Polish section. You can try to PM him here.

Yh i guess it was  a GM and it was a event ruules were you had to be a lv1 bluesuit i think and you cant bring anything nothing and you go to the location and Frank Horrigan was standing there massive and well like 60 bluesuits ( well a lot at-least ) then he would give us the rules and instructions and yh ;D that was fun

Totally wrong. There are some *special* people that deserve a dedicated bombing even if there are no other targets nearby. And it was always like that!

If its redding or vc, I'm down.
I grew up in redding, so a massacre there would feel normal.

Well... A guy with a name and skin being given by some GM. Back then skins were given out sometimes.

Post by: Lexx on May 27, 2013, 06:07:58 am
I thought skins are given out more today than 2 years ago. Back then we still had other plans for skins, which was the reason why GMs were not allowed to give skins to players (well, yeah, most ignored this anyway). But as the plans never had been realized...

It's still bad to give out special skins such as power armor, though. If we'd wanted players to run around with it, we would simply make the armor available.

It's not about protection. Power armor isn't the holy grail of invulnerability either.

So if plan never was realized allow skins then.. Let us live this game by ourself.. I really wanna know what s bad about them.. Anyway about power, ranger, enclave armors available for us.. We may use them.. We will welcome it.. It may bring diferences to battles, role play, living in this game..

Well, they kind of are. Looking at recent screenshots, I see skins everywhere.

Then you must dreaming.. Just few guys who get lucky have skins.. Others still wanna them.. What reason is for no giving them? Or think a little.. Make them reward from some events or anything..

Post by: Thorzain on May 27, 2013, 11:13:12 am
Im with show make some cool event that rewards like really cool stuff and 1st place for a skin i suggest the event be a type of defense of a town like the old days ...... but anyway im having fun playing 2238 again :D
Title: Re: Is fallout dead after 2 years?
Post by: Mike Crosser on May 27, 2013, 11:37:07 am
There was a skin giveaway event about 6 months ago by JovankaB.

So that would explain the few idlers in NCR that have it(myself included).
But a redo of that event wouldn't be that bad honestly.It isn't some special perk that gives you 1000hp it's just a change in visuals that makes everyone look a little different.

Title: Re: Is fallout dead after 2 years?
Post by: Mike Crosser on May 27, 2013, 11:52:54 am

Because there are barely any GMs willing to do it.
And the Devs don't feel like it.

Also wipe has been going around removing skins all over the place,so there's that.

Actually, it is.... You say "No skins they too POWERFULLLL!!!!!" but.... they're NOTHING but a pretty picture, and maybe an excuse to act somewhat childish.
And yes, Powere Armor IS the holy grail of protection.
Then you must dreaming.. Just few guys who get lucky have skins.. Others still wanna them.. What reason is for no giving them? Or think a little.. Make them reward from some events or anything..
He's right. Less tha n1% of players have them, and I'm not gonna say what they did to get them.

I actually don't care TOO much about skins, unless it's something you paid for in-game or you ARE the character (like if you paid 500 caps for pink or whatever hair, or you ARE a Deathclaw). I'm just saying, skins don't protect (unless your defence plan is to make them die laughing), so it really doesn't make a difference.

yes, this game is dead, because of what i think devs imagined as "balancing" things. The thing is that fonline once was really a great game, and i mean it, it just lacked some content maybe, some things what to do, when you reach lvl 21 (it was max back then), or maybe some content in npc factions, some other means of pvp, maybe some tc for unarmed/melee only or stuff like that, but instead, devs balanced everything so much, that now its even less what to do, pvp ruined, training ruined, crafting ruined, gathering ruined, npc factions - useless than ever, drugs - total shit, all builds are tanks, fights are boring. So yes, fallout online is dead, this is the answer.

You are wrong.. Not all builds are tanks.. Not all is ruined.. and fonline is not dead..
