Hey, is there anything going on...

[Blu3Haz3]

I've been in and out of servers lately, I'm shocked the game has reached the marker of maybe only eight people or less online in coop day after day.  If you ask me, everyone that still visits this forum reutinely should do even more of a favor to actually visit the game.  First off, this would increase the amount of players... and people are leaving Unreal because there 'are' only few players on 'daily'.  MAYBE just maybe, those who I call ghosts... ones that look at the server list and stopped playing not long ago.  Would actually get back on, because of some population.  And this would bring back more ghosts, and then more... in theory... I would imagine the community slowly working back 'UP' again.  And for those of the Old Unreal forums, I can't stop some of you from not playing... but if you want to see this forum at its best.  I think, really one of the best ways is to make a community tag or something and get into Unreal.  The reason being, is to unite everyone together and let them know there is more than just developer's work going on...  more or less, what difference would patches make to a community of 5 people.  No offense at all, I can't even half run anything before 227h... but the oldunreal community has\'had' enough people to settle the score.

I sometimes join an empty server and leave it there to see if people join. I sometimes play against monsters to see if that will bring people. So far I haven't had any chance.

I think an OU game should be set up someday for people to meet and have some frag together.

Well, if you want to see something I did a while back... its possible what people just need is to modernize this game... I did Vortex 2 for ut3 thinking I may get together a team to work with.  I can do pretty much anything, such as Static meshes, Weapons, Maps, Texures and working with Audio and all of the UE3 tools.  But of course, to be honost... it takes more than one person finish Unreal in a new engine.  The most important way to make maps on games is to make the basic geometry first and then add the detail later.

I'll let you get a quick glimpse of how Unreal to UT3 or UDK would look...

I guess that would make me a ghost then since this is exactly what I do. :/

Well I used to call Spectators... Ghosts... and is kind of why I call people who spectate the server list that anyways... I ghosted the server list for like two years because I was just curious.  But I am actually at the point where I am thinking Unreal is actually going to either die or revive it self.  I'm not sure exactly how everyone feels about Unreal, but since my memory of Unreal stretches all of the way back to almost the beginning of my life.  So I am attached, letting the game die because of age isn't my ambition.  Well to be honost, the reason why I got into Unreal was because as soon as I had turned 12... my life became completely different.  I had hard times, losing a parent... hard times coping with gangs which I got through... no friends because I wasn't their kind of person.  So after an every day life of living in complete agony and dispare, I would come home to a portal of another dimension I called Unreal.  Literally, the only place I could feel happy... because people were so creative.  I ended up making a lot of friends and some enemies, understanding if they ever even knew me.  I'm not going to point fingers, but if I heard correctly... Klingon Packleader began hacking in vengence of Whooper.  Since no one liked whooper's maps, Packleader wanted to hack and mess with everyone... if my memory serves me correctly.  Well, one day I ended up in the same scenario... Silent Bob came into my map and said my water park sucked.  It was only for pure creativity, and to explore the realms of unreal.  Soon after I told him to get off and don't come back, he leaves and brings all of his buddies from Klingon.  Ends up ruining my experience of unreal for about four more years considering I was getting threats and hacks... not to mention my relatives getting death threats by phone call.  But over a game, I must have to say... I don't think anyone can actually be 'that' lifeless.  To be precise, I was only around in Unreal because it felt like home.  After the last five years of quiting, coming back and quiting again... I've figured I may just need to play in the editor if thats what I am looking for.  As of the last two years, I've not really played Unreal period... considering half the people are doing what I am doing.  And further more, the only way for this game to ever redeem itself is to become more than just a forum.  I'm sorry if any of the things I had to say was offensive, but I felt like it was rather nessesary for those who still love that 'EvO is a f*g' mod.  And if anyone ever asks me why I took everything so seriously, its because Klingon... took my freedom of making a server away from me for no reason.

Geez, don't be so depressed. I mean, know you've been through a lot but this is passed, aye? Your, what, 19? I'm 25, I'm still interested in Unreal and still want to PLAY Unreal. I've just hit a bump but I am working on mods for Unreal at current that will maybe get some interest. I've got friends who like it well enough and I broadcast it as still a great engine and game. I've found the biggest problem is that for a while many people I talked to didn't even KNOW about Unreal. It was obscure, or became so over time. Doom is more well known (I love Doom too mind you) as is the newer titles.

Few people seem to understand what extent 227 updates the engine, either. 227h especially brought in a major push. I should try to make an example of it in my next progress video.

But, again, I still play. Right now I'm just adding some monster ports. Been a bit lazy with it. Heh, maybe I'll actually release my Resident Evil stuff.

Newbies Playground servers have been on line for a long long time for a game.  We started in 1999.  We have hard fast rules about moral issues.  We have seen literally hundreds of players come and go.  There is no doubt that people move on to new more flashy games.  There are those of us who are, the Die Hard Unreal core, like this web site, will not move on to other games but continue to do what we have done over the past years.  We do have active servers, at times, and a great influx of new players from South America and Europe.  Its refreshing to see the new players interest in this old game.  To me, the only video game is unreal and the only one I have ever played.  One thing unreal needs is consistency and servers that are shared by decent people and people that really want to enjoy the game, not ruin the fun of others.  What the future holds for Unreal and the Community is in question, as it has been for 8 or more years.  A predicted demise of the game has failed to materialize time after time.  I am very old and probably wont be around long, but its cool to see the interest still here in a great game, loved by many as an outlet from lifes real problems.  The Newbies Servers and the DOG clan always welcomes players that come to our Site or Servers as long as they demostrate plain courtesy and a intent to join the brotherhood of unrealers.

If not for people like you, I maybe would have given up a long time ago.  +1 for that.


I wish I'd have more time to play, but often I'm just to exhausted. But indeed we could try to arrange some games here over the forums and it's news system.

[Oldsparky]

Thank you and that means a lot for you to say that. I am fortunate indeed to just push along some very talented folks in unreal. I can make them do their best if I can convince them its their idea. We have some very talented and dedicated people in the Dog Clan. The amazing part is how over the years one group leaves or moves on and another takes their place. We will keep er going long as we can do it. Thanks for the complement very much, but its the members of Dog that keep it all going.

Smirftsch, I don't think anyone in Epic Games worked as hard as you without a pay check. For making 227h, I am more than honored to donate to you... and since I know you've got cancer if I heard correctly. But as for the old unreal game, I think if everyone here agrees maybe we should try and pretend unreal is still going. I just saw someone I haven't seen in 10 years on Unreal, he said he just hasn't really seen anything going on. So, there is probably a miracle... and since there are still people waiting for something miraculas to happen in the server list... this may be a good time to go for something like this. I'm not going to start a clan called Old Unreal or anything lol... but maybe we should try and get people to get involved with playing Unreal a little more...

[Klesk]

I propose to hold a meeting of all active clan leaders to make a campaign to bring more people to Unreal...

of course if u all want, lol

and yeah.. i think Unreal is going down... it cant be! lol, i love Unreal 1, The History, Monsters.. All! its so cool! and the game cant die!

Thx u x all, Smirftsch.

[Hellkeeper]

Someone set up a game, I'm sure people would join if it was advertised here on the forums. Otherwise we're all waiting for miracles., in which case I say we all just wait for Jesus Christ to come back to earth, the Kingdom of God will surely features Unreal LANs.

[JgJ_black]

If many Latin Americans have come and in addition we the jgj bring people of ours around but...
The tva banishes them always insulting them, because of it we are in war with.
Good the case is that I support my compatriot klesk in it of the meeting of all the leaders of the clans of unreal since it is needed.
I do not want that unreal dies since it is one of my favorite games or rather the only one game in the first person that I play.
