Just another "the end is near" thread. Like so many others......
I was searching for more threads, but you get the point.
Been a lot of talk about the mod dying etc. But now that EiRRMod aka LuciferNZ is back, we should be seeing more life again.
But anyways, this is just an unofficial poll to see who the heck is still hanging around here. Get clicking!
we had a massive active community not long before FL announced there is no 2.0 then there was another burst of members from then we died resulting in this. its a shame really.

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.
I try to get a game and it takes like 3 hours to even find a few people, is this mod like deaad or something it doesnt seem to be?
