How to save FF (an attempt)
Many may say this game is dead - also a lot of folks said the same about TFC 6 years ago and you still can find full servers in 2011 (!). they ain't dead till they are dead.
My suggestions to bring back a bit more life into FF:

getting the word out seems to be the biggest issue. The gameplay is fine. I just think people don't know about it and are hesitant to become regulars because you cant always find a server to play on all hours of the day. thats where the catch 22 is...

In all honest I think the biggest problem is that it's most widely enjoyed by a small type of players. The largely successful games and mods are enjoyed by the widest demographic. FF is great, I love it myself. But I'm not everyone. I also don't play a lot of any games recently. Been sorta sucked down for time. (new job kinda sucks).
The personal stuff is irrelevant though. The things suggested would certainly work really well, but the biggest problem really is the Devs. These guys have personal lives just like the rest of us. I have trouble finding time to play video games, let a long finding the time to work on one. I don't usually like speaking for other people, but I would imagine that after these guys get done work they just want to watch tv and play video games like every other person. Giving them more devs, and more help would be a good idea, and the first task. But I think the devs are aware of this already. |

It's denial. We all wish it weren't dead, but it is. Let's move on.

Spring fever.
@ Bridget For a dead game we still spend an awfully big amount of time on here. I assume the active posters still haven't been able to move on.

Hahahaha. You are an acquired taste, Bridget, but I think I might actually like you. Don't let it go to your head.

He's kind of right though. If you have nothing really better to contribute then to remind us that the game is already dead, then why waste your time here?
I know that you've done a lot for FF in the background, but really you've contributed jack shit since you first stated "The game is dead." You gave up on it, and you continue to remind us about how much of a failure *YOU* think its' become. Honestly, people have fun all the time playing in O-T so then there must be something that they are doing right, to keep this game going. People still have a great time playing the game. I know that in that server you'll find maybe 4 members of O-T playing about the same time, and more come around to play with or replace other members. But still 4 members. Thats out of 20+ players every day in JUST that server. I don't think the game is the failure. It's suddenly come to my belief that the public servers that went inactive are to blame for the FF's slim player base/ 'dead' game. If Talos was still up and running with active members, you don't think that people wouldn't start coming back? Think on it man. Activity starts with the clan members. That's the boost to public servers. You have them go inactive and people stop showing up. |

FF is dead. Deal with it. Devs killed this game. They gonna rape you with emotional appeals, and threaten you with admin abuse to keep you from speaking the truth, but the truth is the truth no matter how deep you bury it. Deal with it, FF community. You dun goof'd, and let the devs centrally-plan you in the ass for years. Love the game, but hate the devs, that's what I say. Squeek and the gang complaining 'bout this "real life" shit and about how it leaves the devs no time to work on the game when I used to see them playing hour-long pickups.
Complainin' about not enough time to develop the game, despite the fact that 2.42 has been done for like four months now (they just haven't got around to RCs yet apparently) and the fact that they'll take a good ol' chunk of their time to issue infractions or write long-winded posts about how devvin' the game is so hard (despite their admittance that all they'd have to do is up some variables on the SG to tie people over, something they should have done like four years ago). There's no hope. Give up your delusion. Stop being in denial. Do like I'm doing, channel all this care into improving real life productivity. Strive, in other words, to not be Fortress Forever dev. Make that yo life goal. Write it down on yo forehead. I know you gon' be mad 'cause I'm speaking straight truth, but what can I say? Those who are wrong gon' get mad 'n' defensive. Those who are insecure gonna mash that admin button until their ego is inflated with nothing of any real value to account for it. It's no thing. As Linus says, that's why I'm the boss; I simply know better than you. D'aww what? "PROMITTIMUS AT NON TRADIMUS" - FF Dev motto

Really toned it down there Bri-dogg. Way to parrot your way back into the thread once again, to prove absolutely nothing. I applaud you for your nonsense.
Also what I speak above is still true. It's arguably agreeable. |

Getting opinions from Valve might not be a bad idea, just sayin'.
