Many very good multiplayer games become empty wastelands of deserted servers or simply nothing at all. I think it is sad that many games are there without anybody to play them. Many of these multiplayer games such as Unreal Tournament 3, The Ship and other such games appear to be good examples of dead multiplayer games that were actually good. However, I have found myself in the possession of 2 computers capable of running servers for such games, having proved themselves capable of running game server software such as SRCDS. Therefore I thought it may be a good idea to attempt to change that temporarily.

The idea is that people suggest a multiplayer game that deserves to be played but isn't, and if enough people want to play it I will run the dedicated server software for it (if needed) and we can organize a reasonable size lobby of people from Bay12 to play it as to revive the game even if it is just for a few hours.

I am not sure if this is explained adequately but I do believe it gets across the general idea. If their are any major questions I will edit them into here as at this point it is just an idea to see if people are interested.

Please let me know if there are any games that you would appreciate playing and of any questions you have about this.

EDIT: first time appears to have been a success!


We now have a teamspeak thanks to n9019 that has been offered to help communication.

That's an... interesting idea. There's probably all sorts of flaws, but I can't really see any at the moment. The problem is that I don't really own any 'dead' MP games, so I most likely won't be able to participate.

[Ozyton]

The flaw is trying to get enough people interested in one single game that everybody happens to own.

Giants: Citizen kabuto ? umm i liked Deadlock 2 back in the day..

[TripJack]

tribes 2 would be nice

[n9103]

Old games? You name it, I've probably got a CD somewhere.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Would Command and Conquer: Renegade count?

[gigaraptor487]

This would be pretty fun to get a bunch of people on the same server.

Puzzle Pirates. That was the game of my youth.

You had to remind me of that game. I'm always saddened that nobody plays it.

[Frumple]

Y'all should do a netstorm day at some point. Think I'd even wrangle my computer into playing it again to join in on a round or two.

There are two games I'm interested in playing but can't because of the nonexistent community:

Giants: Citizen kabuto

And Breed.

[Shadowlord]

A New Zero was fun for, oh, an hour or two? Played it four-player a few years ago.

(I don't see anything on that page indicating if anything has changed at all, the information section still says 'coming soon'...)
