Although I doubt any of these people play anymore, these were just the 4 people I played with or ' hung out with ' on a regular basis. There are at least 10 others that I knew or heard of from SL or Mplayer. I read a post a ways back in this thread about how there probably are women playing, just staying quiet due to the lack of warmth on Gamespy. I would agree with that totally. Speaking for myself and the couple of women I know who still play SFC on Gamespy anyway. The other part of it is that the community has disbanded. One of the best things about the SFC games was the hundreds upon hundreds of cool people who made the leauge a fun place to play, and if you weren't into leauges, they made Mplayer a fun place to be for some fun games. I mean come on... Remember how when the M-quakes would start, people would be popping in and out of the lobby, all mad and shouting bad things about Mplayer ? And of course there were the comedians, who would be popping in and out saying how Mpig must be falling into the Pacific Ocean. ( Because everybody knew that Mplayer was in California and.. ya know, the earthquake thing ) I used to laugh my butt off there everynight, and I met great people, and had fun playing SFC in the leauge, with the people who made it what it was. Now there is almost never more than 75 people playing on any given night. I think Gamespy has much to do with that. The more people are following a game, the easier it is for it to attract new prospects. Of course the more people you have, the more likely there will be women. The population of this game will only go down from here I fear.
Mplayer had the perfect atmosphere for this game, and it was easy to make friends, and have fun with the game. It's not as comfortable now, and that's probably why people ( men and women ) don't speak up as much, and use unisex names and such.
I wish everybody would come back though. I don't mind playing on Gamespy, but everybody has moved on.
So What's everybody playing these days anyway ??
