Back when most people only had dial-up, Subspace managed to make a rather complex game with excellent physics that was also sufficiently economical with its packets to sustain MMO play. Of course, that elegance is lost on modern bandwidth and computational specs.
So the game is showing its age. It also has virtually no publicity.
Each arena is different, and most of the arena settings are crap. If I were to start in Metal Gear or Death Star or Hyperspace, I would quit and uninstall within minutes of trying them, just because those zones don't interest me. I think part of TW's enduring popularity is that its simple ships still allow for complex strategy.
The mechanics for each ship are different, and there are many controls to figure out. It takes a level patience that most people lack.
And finally... So many of the players here on the forum and in the game are complete assholes. Immaturity is off the scale, especially for an old game. You'd expect most players to at least act a little older than the game itself. Nope. The contents of this thread are a good enough example. Good staffers are gone because they got tired of devoting their time to a bunch of thankless assholes, among other reasons. That leaves only the bad, the corrupt, and the all but foolishly dedicated for staff.
Hear me, children. When you form coolness hierarchies and rivalries and bitter feuds over a 2D spaceship game, it's probably time to pull your head out of your ass. This game will at least partially deserve its own death, when it finally comes.

I always though this game was like msn but with the added feature of killing people.
I'd be sad to let this game go (i prefer it over warcraft, and mostly any other game), and especially the community would be a big loss... but hey.
3 years ago, this game had 600 people. Now, its 370 for max almost all the time.
This game is going to die, one way or another. When you got games like halo competing against this 2d game, if you think continuum's going to win with the new generation, you are one sick, gf-less, mofo. stfu.

P.S. Volcom was the only good host mentioned in this thread, if you think Alinea and Charis were good you are about five years off the prime of this game.

god mega newbie you are one sick fuck. If the only way TW can live is by you and J B Inc fucking and impregnating equally ugly girls like Goddess than I think the game should just die already.

Guest repliedSo now when i say something bad about u, you finally talk to me.Heh.Originally posted by Goddess View PostIf im so ugly Mega Newbie... then why are you still begging me to talk to you swearing your undieing love and talking about how you're going to come to the usa so you can marry me lol... wow there isnt' a girl in this game who doesn't know how fucked in the head you are. U beg me to webcam with you for 3 years then when i dont and refuse to show you my tits you paint some pic in of someone and tell everyone its me. Then when i ignore you you change names literally 40 times to date and still wont stop.
Now i tell u... if im so ugly why go to all that effort? Keep dreaming about me son and i welcome you to come to the us so when u show up at my door i can have your ass deported ... or whats left of you after you get out of the hospital.
Well Dana,I dont tell you that i love you anymore nor that i'm going to marry you.I said it, but loooooong time ago.Only to see ur reaction.And you said the same, you told me you loved me. Yeah i still want to talk to you,because i like to talk to you and i know that inside you are a nice and friendly woman ,too bad you have been ignoring me since the day that you showed,in fact, your tits for me in webcam.
You shoundlt care so much about it.I mean,tits are tits, it isnt something like.. WOW,TITS. u showed me ur tits...big deal !!!and it was only a flash. I was fast enough to take a pic so i could look better at it haha, but unfortunately you and JB-inc started talking about tits and u tought i did show him and etc well u know the history.He did put me agaisnt the wall. I remember he said "Man, she is the woman that I love, im not stupid, please, be sincere with me".I never told you that part,but thats what he said!
It was never my intention to hurt you.4 real. I only showed ur pic to ppl (without that black square) when u started talking shit to me. U got me mad. I think you should forget about what happened because whenever u remember about it,its only going to be bad for urself. I mean,let it die. I regret tought. and i still want to be ur friend.I think we can be great friends.
I dont think you are ugly,i said it only 4 fun. just like i called adam homosexual but i have no idea about his sexuallity.
So i am sry ok? I told im sry already.I think you ignored me for a long time already.Enough, Dana.... :/

alinea, LOLOriginally posted by bandcampgirl View PostHoly hit the nail right on the head!!!! EXACTLY!!!
I mean, there have been good hosts, but they don't last. alinea- left. Charis - they actually got rid of, i mean WTF??! volcom - left?
Charis - LOOOOOOOOOOOL ARE YOU KIDDING ME? JESUS CHRIST
Volcom - she just doesn't log on anymore, got real life things I guess
as far as the rest of it, I agree
Hire better staff. PLayers like adam are not good staff. That is all.
Stop hiring people that kiss ass, and hire people with nuts or a powerful pussy who can lead instead of follow.

Adam: the best way to get people is to stop losing them with all the staff abuse thats been going on. And get people in staff who actually care about showing people a good time instead of showboating their powers or using those powers to get egf's.

gr8 postOriginally posted by Mega Newbie View PostI think the thread that i created dosent exist anymore.No problem.I will explain everything back again.
We need a new public to aim the game for.
I mean,Look at our players, 90% are males like me, 5% are homosexual like you adam, 3% are fake-girls like bam ashlee, 1% are ugly girls like goddess and finally 1% are girls.
Something is wrong there. There are more females in the world than males. Why in our game we have more males than females???
I mean,the populatin can duplicate if we get the girls to play!!! :wub:
So i propose things to change.
First, look at the ships.
Warbird is made for males.Javelin,for girls (the ONLY girl ship). Spider is made for homosexuals. And the rest is for males, but for males with espessifiquis cahaharacteristicis: leviathan,for slow ppl, Terr for thin ppl, weasel for cowards,Lancaster for newbies,shark for fatasses.
Come on, WTF. we need MORE ships for girls.
We need to paint the ships with colors like pink,purple,etc. The explosion of some ships could be not parts of the ships going everywhere,but it could be hearts going everywhere when a ship gets exploded.
I dunno, there are INFINITE possibilities that arent hard to think about. All i know is that WE NEED to make this game a bit more girly.
Also remember,with more girls in this game it will also atract ALOT of other males players that are interessed to hit girls.
Imagine!! The number of naked pictures can increase,the drama can be bigger.things can be SO MUCH BETTER. WE NEED TO CHANGE.
We can make our population grow up 100%.

I concur with what xog said. This game is quite old now. I've been around for most of this game's lifespan, and it has been a good time
I'd like to think I've given back to the TW community in some way (financially and time-wise) but most players now log on, shoot a few people, then go back to playing CoD5 or WoW. We can't really do much about the game's core mechanics, we can only work with what we have. And if we're doing the best we can with what we have, and the game is still dying, then perhaps it's time to let it go.
In the end, it's just a 2d spaceship game.

We just need to make sure we recruit girls with good cahaharacteristicis.
