Topic: Old player (Dagger) thinking of returning. How are things? (Read 2499 times)

Every now and again I think back to the days of when I played EAW daily and enjoyed it. I used to play on a server called Canada West... at least I think that was it was. I then decided for some reason to move on and only looked back a few times a year. However, I recently played SFC3 over a friends house and enjoyed the romulans and borg quite a bit. How is the multiplayer situation for both? Are there still dozens of players playing a huge campaign like in those days?

We're still kicking. Not quite the numbers there used to be, but the hardcore diehards are all still here and there seems to be a bit of a trend of old players returning, very nice to see.

Canada West / SFC2.net is alive and well and Capt Jeff is planning a "Storm Season 3" server. Currently the active D2 server is S'Cipio's (aka Herr Burt) Economic War... player numbers usually peak around 20-25 players at primetime nowadays.

Not quite sure what is happening with SFC3 but pretty sure its stil alive and well, saw a new server announced recently.

If you want to get into the D2 again, read this thread carefully: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163359567.0.html

Is orion pirates the only D2 worth playing now? I played EAW only becaue I couldn't afford to play orion pirates. I'm thinking of just rebuying SFC2, it's expansion, and SFC3 in one swoop. How many players during prime time for each? I liked SFC3s system, but I loved the Lyran and ISC ships. Are the servers still using flatfile databases?

You can get Orion priates on several popular auction houses I paid 5 bucks for a spare copy and that included shipping...

OP now contains everything EAW had and MORE....including klingon boom arcs just to name one thing...

Wow... I actually remember the Klingon black fleet. is skull and bones still around, and dogmatix?

Also, can you point me to where you can find EAW.orion pirates that cheap? SFC3 while you're at it as well if you can

OP and be found on E-bay...and for SFC3...I heard it was going real pricey upwards of 75 bucks sometimes...

Skull pops in once and a a while as does doggy.....IIRC..they are Eve addicts now...

Ugh... I hate that game. Too many people think it's great, but I can't see the appeal of constantly worrying about being hunted by pirates... Do you know who they are in the game?

Check Amazon for OP. Usually goes pretty cheap there.
