This is a 20-year-old game
There are some diehards around that continue to play, but that base of diehards will, inevitably, dwindle slowly. So we have fewer and fewer players
There's two obvious best ways to keep the community going:
1) Bring back old players, or make old players who drop in want to stick around
-Possible advertising, tournaments, etc.
-Do not greet players who come back (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,1122.0.html (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,1122.0.html)) with a bunch of flames between Equinox and Ryu and Winchester, do not shit on them for posts they made 5 years ago.
-Don't ban names you don't recognize or people with fewer games or bad records from your games. Give them a chance to show what they can do
ie - don't be a shithead
2) Bring in new players, see if they can learn the game
-Create clans like dw for new players, don't shit on people for being in newb clans
-Help them learn the game, figure out latency
-If you won't let them play, at least let them watch. s9? -> ban is a good way to make sure none of the new players that find the server ever stick around or learn the game
ie - don't be a shithead (recurring theme)
3) Programming things that could help accomplish the above
-Lat fixes, autohost/host bot
-Any other suggestions?

Shouldn't be too difficult to manage that.
-Any other suggestions?
Might be a good idea to do your job as a mod and remove the flame before it gets out of hand.

Lol i'm x-DW-x)Yamon( for a reason, i've been gathering up all the noobs, teaching them how to host, how to get games, how to be relevant in the community, and teaching them about war2 history and strategies forever. But let me get right on Demonstrating what i can do.

FIXED. Although you really shouldnt be teaching anything regarding history since your ego gets in the way of actual historical facts. Such as your dreamed up Lone rapes swift in a 2v1 let alone a 1v1 BS. You could have at least made it believable and said it was a 2v1 with Jessu001 and Some unknown noob.
-
Lone became pretty good, he can beat Swift at times
-
Didn't lone beat viruz like 5-3 one time?

Real point to Help the game:
1- Change War2Ru for something new like, War2World, War2Planet, War2Heart, War2War or War2pornstar, anything, but stop letting know this is russian server.
2- Get rid of useless admin like Blid and Foonat if they are not planning to do something real, and way much more important get rid of the hacker like lightbringer-
3- Add new Admins like Tk, Tupac, Lance and Myself!
4- Put peoples at the right thing to do to save time and work.. IL, Tupac, Lance as programmar devlopper, moustopher as webmaster and forum master, Tk burnt and i as Taking cares of the game channel, tournament and website updates.
5- Stop doing your retard selfish and lazy admins.
Good luck!

Does Alex play? I'll have to hit him up, I feel like he and I would be at comparable skill levels.
I think more streaming would help -- people'd see it on the home page when they visit, before they download, and maybe be more inclined to try multiplayer. The client gets tons of downloads, the problem is that most of the people only ever play single. A live feed of the main channel could be cool too, so they could see how friendly and awesome our community is in real time.

An outside perspective from a player who has played pretty consistently over the past 3-4 months - I would say the most "helpful" players to the community would be {lance}, 00Joe and Burnt with {lance} being far and away the best of the bunch (in my humble opinion). He joins most public games, not just the a/a x/x games with 4 watching a 2v2. He will play with anyone and give pointers. 00Joe also helps, but has his moments where he gets fed up and let's it be known lolol.
Just my humble opinion on players who make it worth coming back for (a fresh perspective versus the same 10 whom I've noticed post back and forth against each other). There are others who are great to play with - Casi0, Yamon, PBRMEASAP just to name a few others.
The server has a good core of constant players, but it is true that the "newbs" will get the boot quickly unless they chat and let it be known they suck and want to get better.

Anyone decent can beat swift/viruz some of the time given the randomness/luck factor involved on a map like gow.

reaming would help -- people'd see it on the home page when they visit, before they download, and maybe be more inclined to try multiplayer. The client gets tons of downloads, the problem is that most of the people only ever play single.
and the small percentage that does end up coming online gets banned and kicked from every game and gives up.

I think its quite funny when someone who has no experience in gow at all talks about great players like swift and viruz, and dare to say they could get owned by some casual player.

"US"? lol Whats your aka? If you were any good I would have heard of you. I have no experience??? ROFL I have 2nd most wins in Kali IGL history. I played with the best of the best when this game had 100x the playerbase of today.

Then you should log in sometimes so i can give u a beatdown.
Who you were in Kali ,no one gives a fuck , your win ratio back in the days has no importance. Your name is not known , You are NOT relevant for this community.
And i've never seen anyone talking about you or namin your account. and thats the proof you are NO ONE.

Nobody knows it because you're making it up.

the only person who thinks ganz is good is ganz. you'd be hard pressed to find anyone else confirming his own claims about how good he is, or was. everyone who knows him , knows him as a ladder abusing newbie. when he did make a return to wc2 all he ever played was instant action.

Its because I stopped playing the game seriously shortly after bnet came late99/early 2000. Since then I have probably only played like 300 gow games at most in those 15 years. Obviously nobody will talk about you when you have been inactive for so long but all the old good players know my original aka and thats all that matters. I am a legend and was a top player in the game when it was at its peak. THe only player in the history of warcraft 2 to be #1 on every server.[/td][/tr][/table]

You don't have an "original aka."

You don't have an "original aka."
If you only knew, my aka has been brought up countless times in the best players lists that were made.

No it hasn't

Your opinion is worthless since you've never been ranked above tier 6 on anyone's list.

GaNz is probably thinking about claiming DethWlkr or something but is afraid to give out a specific name due to fear that someone will be able to prove he's lying

Not only do I not think you really have a well-known aka, I don't think there's any "small number of players" that know it. That's also made up.
-

LOL, no. Obviously not DethWlkr. I retired my name once bnet came out. I made this name as a smurf originally to talk shit and stuff and not give my original name a bad reputation. I can easily prove my original AKA if I needed to and have a few old players who know my original AKA that could vouch for me.
-
No, really, I'm genuinely interested in knowing because I'd honestly never even heard of you until you went to the forums one day and started showing IGL stats or something like that. I looked at it and was like huh? Who the heck is this? I've never even heard of that name before until now and now its all over the IGL nostalgia ladders (which I hadnt even looked at in years myself at that point). Then I saw someone prove that you were ladder abusing so I just wrote it off as some nobody trying to act all cool. Since the game reports are no longer available, it cant be "proven" anymore that you abused it, but I do remember reading a thread about it and someone showed the game reports that proved it. But if you say you have an original name, I'd really be interested to know what it is, I'm always interested in knowing who the people I played with are today. Nothing against you at all, I'm just curious and not accusing of anything, just merely stating facts as I've read them in the past thats all because I really have NO idea who you "were".

Do not greet players who come back ([url]http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,1122.0.html[/url] ([url]http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,1122.0.html[/url])) with a bunch of flames between Equinox and Ryu and Winchester, do not shit on them for posts they made 5 years ago.
The level of this forum is surely a one, big put-off. Given age of this game, you could expect the average player is grown up person but the impression from reading stuff around here is just the opposite and I wonder if any random forum about Minecraft (or whatever kids play these days) would contain so much dumb vulgarity, trolling and dirty flame wars. Because here it's about 99% of the whole content. If anybody comes here hesitant whether to (re)join the War2 community or pass on it, reading this garbage can of a forum will outweigh the scales easily. I know it by myself, having been around for many years, my current view is that there are only two remains of this game: occassional old ef hosted privately, with password, every hundred years on RU + bunch of bitter and awkward people passing their time on this filthy forum.
-
I can't believe you guys still remember your aka's from bnet/kali days. I played a lot in late 90s early 2000s while in college - i barely remember the name of the college I went to. I've wracked my brain trying to remember my old names and even after 4 months of playing here I have no idea what they could be. College was a big haze for me I suppose.

He is DieHard iirc... A true legend of this game. Ganz is the real deal. Everyone must bow.
