Our game is dying. What can we do?

I know that they record many numbers of statistic about continuum, Including the number of players in the servers. It will be interesting if they could show it on year scale from 1997 to 2007.

well I know for sure that the TW population peaked in early 2003, with over 800 players online on the weekends

are you stupid? people would be more interested in the game because it would have further detail that way. word would spread around, etc. usually making games better brings in more people. i hope that wasn't too hard for you to understand ward.

Oh yes, I'm sure minor changes in dueling in basing as you noted would prompt the existing players to spread the word about Trench Wars. You're about as good at marketing as you are at playing warbird.

I think you are right. but after that 700 was the number till now I only happen to see 500... (which is nice also).

Upgrade game to modern standards ez like better graphics etc.

I believe we should be a nicer welcoming community

also squads like rejected basers, quirion, and more recently like brainwave are stopping because it's just too hard to create a decent trainee squad when all your decent trainees are stolen by a better squad.

we need veteran players to introduce new players into the game, because the twl league system is not easy to just read up on and understand.

i ran a few training basing squads for a few seasons but I feel as though i've helped bring enough new players into the basing scene.

if you really want things to get back to how they used to be ask yourself how many players you have personally brought into the league community.

When I was on Penetrate, almost any game we played wasnt very challenging. I played a bd that i actually enjoyed only about once a week, and that would probably be one of the close games against pandora or some other higher tier squads. Nowadays with Brainwave and earlier with Kiwanis, almost every bd is quite fun and unpredictable. I think vets who quit the game because its getting boring for them could rediscover the fun by starting training squad. To be honest, I don't quite understand why same bunch of people stay on top squads like dice or pandora. Is it really that fun to only play 1 game on the weekend which isnt very challenging 90% of the time. And being among winners on spaceship game should not be great concern either. Guess its the old friendships. But you also gotta realize that new people you meet, who you never heard of before have as good chance to turn out to be just as funny, entertaining and friendly

Btw, id say inflow of newer players into duelling leagues is much healthier than basing by the way. Elim and baseelim are available to everyone. Base depends on 2 douches who happen to be captains.

what's the difference between the same bunch of people staying on dice and the same bunch of people staying on brainwave in terms of bringing new players into the zone? your core has consisted of the same people for the past however long whether you were on brainwave the first, second, or third time, they're always the same. granted, it's just a lesser average of skill in bw's core, with newer players surrounding them, so i suppose that would paint you as the underdog more consistently. regardless, every squad is built on a core (whether your brainwave, dice, or quicksand) and they tend to group together like that.

Oh, im not talking about bringing new people into the zone im talking about getting public players into twd. And we got lotsa them now. Unless squads go recruiting in dsb or something there is not much squads can do to bring players to trench wars.

dont change the community at all. this game is so unique because of the people in this game r funny and make it interesting.

K with training squads many ppl in pub who are playing day and night who dont even know what twd is so training squads should check up in pub often and if they keep seeing the same people playing public and squadless why not recruit em if they enjoy pub theyll love twd. Like on the last day of kiwanis we wanted to bd so we just went into pub and taught 4 people hwo to apply on twd.trenchwars.org and make a twd account.
