What happened eir?
Logged in today for the first time in a long while and unfortunately on my old account I only played 2 games since the last reset(which seems like ages ago). So basically I'm prepared to get the ole beatdown, Massive PP advantage EIR style, no biggy, ill play some games get some pp maybe get back into this thing. Wrong
Log in to what I would consider a peak(ish) time for EIR, which is around evening in western europe.(usually when i'd notice the most amount of EIR players). To find 8 players online, 4 of which are AFK. One game up, 2 on axis and 1 on allied. These guys all have over 50+ games and knowing full well what is about to happen, I jump into the game anyways. What I know is i'm either going to get told to get the hell out, or for some reason my partner decides he enjoys losing and we get absolutely slaughtered on the battlefield, but i've accepted this fate already and I press the join button nevertheless.
"Wiking, get out please"
suprise, suprise - "oh really, ok"
*5 minutes pass, sounds of crickets*
"So you plan on taking him by yourself?"
"no I dont want to get stacked"
and that was that.
Now why make the topic? I'm curious as to the community and as to the game. Is this it? I mean you haven't had a reset in ages, noob advantages barely do anything, and it seems that everytime ive logged in randomly over the last 3 months there hasn't been many people online whatsoever.
Is it now just a mod to play with friends for a laugh, with a few of the more hardcore crowd still playing from time to time? Thats what it appears, and if its not quite at that point yet that is the road that it is heading because its nearly impossible to even get somebody to play with you while you lose the necessary games to have a competitive army. From the outside looking in it appears that the game was better off back before they reintroduced doctrines and advantages again.

The length of time without a reset is crazy - I havent been able to set it up for some time =/
Im going to do a little bit of programming on the Launcher just before Xmas, and you will more than likely get a surprise before new year =)

Naa i dont think that the game is dead. Only reason im not playing with my mates atm is prolly cos its getting a bit damp to join a game, only to be ganged up against lvl 8 leetzors with way too many SP's to be wasted on off maps, only to be aimed at your vet units. Nah..

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

As soon as a reset happens you will see more people playing again. I know I will be back when it happens.

Things just need a simple reset, right now if your not level 8 you have to go beyond normal to just compete. I wish player level had less impact on game play, right now it just seems that the players who grind the most always win in the fact that they can field many more (not to mention better) units in comparison to a fresh company. This in my opinion through the prospect of newer players out the window as they are facing not only a big difference in skill but a huge difference in forces and options. If eir was truly balanced then the battle field should always be level with rank only increasing the number of tactical options and Varity of units, not affecting unit performance or numbers.

so basically you want free filled out doctrines? Or doctrines only giving you new units? (which leads to the same problem...) You know thats why lvl 8s win right? because they have maxed out docs?

Skill level wins games. I've gone 6-1 on a new brit company I made yesterday with 2 other friends who also made new brit companies. Skill level and teamwork are always going to beat maxed out companies with commanders who don't know how to use them.
