Brennq Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Emp isnt dead......[attachment archived by Gobalopper]
AWACS Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 wow, never seen that many games at once! And some of them are full! Maybe emp might have a chance :D
Apollyon Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Oh that was yesterday...If you look close enough you can see me in H4t3r's game (no you can't so don't look you moron).
Navaros Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 emperor is not dying. that is ancient news.Emperor had been DEAD for over a year, and there's no bringing it back. an RTS dies when it is no longer competitive. when the only ones left are newbies who suck immensely and are not even 1/5 as good as the guys who used to be in Emperor, but since they are the only ones left in Emperor they are under the mistaken impression that they have some skill. this has been the case with Emperor for over a year. Emperor died when it stopped being competitive. PS: anyone who argues with my post here or tries to refute it in any way = newbie
rigel6669 Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Emperor is not dead.Still plenty of people play it on single player and you are forgetting those who play the game via lan.The fan mape maps are still being downloaded daily ;)
Brennq Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Compare these 2 quotes.Navaros :when the only ones left are newbies who suck immensely and are not even 1/5 as good as the guys who used to be in Emperor, but since they are the only ones left in Emperor they are under the mistaken impression that they have some skill. but please, i am trying to provide a valuable service to the other professional Emperor players here. ??? This makes no sence at all navaros. What are u trying to say?Navaros :I am officially a dumbass! ;D Ah now I get it :P
darkd3th Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 as long as 1 person remains playiong emp it's not dead.......
lowzeewee Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Empy is 5.97 feet under now...just that small portion[10/2000] pple still go online now.
gerbilpoo Posted July 21, 2003 Author Posted July 21, 2003 no u r wrong till that evil EA games shuts us down dune will live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ethan Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 no, it isnt dead...i'm advertising through Shattered Galaxy chatboxes :Dif i get a few people to buy it, somebody they know might...and so on.
playerap Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Emp is dead to the people but is not dead to it followers and u guyz know what that man meant dont try to be difficult he is tryign to fig out a way to being it back witch is possible like gargoyels used to be dead untill a community of 50 brought it back ! and im serious ...i have really thought of trying to find ways like adv on yahoo and stuff since it costs like 5 dollars for a banner on the chat system
exatreide Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Yeah right... I ment that emp died whenever you stop playing it. It died for me a long time ago. but it dies whenever you stop playing it.
lowzeewee Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 ;D Really?Is that what you are trying to mean,ex? ;DEmpy seems dead.To you players,it is not because you keep playing each other continuously due to the lack of players so it seems not dead. ;D
Apollyon Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Everyday I see about 3 players I've never seen before. There are many many newbies beginning to play every day. Emperor is not dead.
Navaros Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 there can be 10 new newbies in Emp every day, but still Emperor will always be a dead gameyou can play Emp all you want, and it's still dead. you're still playing a dead game, even if there are 20 or 30 other people also playing the dead game.anyone who thinks Emperor is alive just because there are some people left haunting WOL has no conception of what an RTS game is about. Competition. real Competition. of course, none of the people left in Emperor have any skill, so they think that there are good players left, who keep Emperor competitive for *them*, which is only the case because those left suck immensely and have no idea how to play Emperor - not because real Competition actually exists.Emperor's Spirit is dead. the Spirit of real Competition on a WOL Ladder with Rules that Westwood put into place based on R&D money. but this Spirit even died long before EA put the Ladders out of their misery. it died when the last batch of good players left. at that point, the Emperor Community became INCOMPETENT. every veteran and skilled RTS player left Emperor. those that remained in the Community were not skilled players and can never become skilled players - so really the Emperor Community died at that point as well. at that point, Emperor was no longer Competitive, and Emperor died. what is left now is just a dead, empty shell with no Spirit.the chances of resurrecting Emperor, for Emperor to become a truly living game again - are the same as the chances of us getting another patch for Emperor. which is, absolutely zero. sad, but true.

It's so subjective...Nav u really dont have a clue who is still playing emp.U know why? Because when i c u in emp u always host a 2vs2 30k with fog AND u always kick pple u know that can beat u. So eventually u will be playing with pple who are not good at the game. 100 times i asked 1vs1 when u say im a noob or that im gay( very childish behaviour) and ur to afraid and u kick me and change nick.LMAO
Navaros Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 brennq there is nothing subjective about it at allif *ANY* real RTS game community took a gander at what is left of Emperor, they'd pee their pants with uncontrollable laughter at the sheer incompetence of 95% of those playing Emperor on WOL.this is about the only good point that razorox has ever made. Emperor has no good players left. once the good players realized that Emperor was dying, they all left one after the other, because they got no fun out of playing in a community where the only players left are not even 1/25th as good as the elite players who all abandoned Emperor to play in non-dead RTS games. i see razorox's point more so every day. i almost feel embarrassed to still play Emperor. it is as if i am dishonoring Emperor's memory and deficating on it's Grave to still play a game that no longer has any meaning in terms of true Spirit and Competition.btw Brennq no one on WOL can beat me, certainly not anyone in your "clan" LOL
