StarGateWars Forums

I hear some players concerned that the game is in its death throes. I for one certainly don't believe that. I have always been a gamer for as long as I can remember and I can say with certainty that GateWars is one of the best games I've ever played. Just because it only has a few thousand active members, doesn't mean that that amount will decline until it reaches 0. TBH, having a low membership may make it even better! A few thousand active members (or even a few hundred) makes everything you do in the game that much more profound, important and special (compared to a membership of hundreds of thousands or millions, which ensures any events, wars, triumphs, players fade into the overwhelming crowd). So consider the possibility that maybe we shouldn't want many more members. I'd be willing to wager that GateWars becomes a much adored classic, the kind of game that you find yourself reminiscing about with another former player in a foreign land in a chat room or something 10 years from now. I think most of us, true-blue GW members, will always hold a special place in our hearts for this great game and will remember this time in our lives, the time of GateWars, as time well wasted, and therefore not wasted at all. I know that no-matter-what, myself and a lot of other players are definitely not going anywhere! I'd still be playing GW if there was a membership in the single digits (would make it even more special)!

I am a gamer and this is my manifesto.

For once a positive thread about the game!

Not a membership 'fee'. Membership. Less than 10 total players.

I like the way you think.

until the profit movitivated society go away and there isn't anyone buying, this game isn't going anywhere.

shoot ive played lots of games for the least several years, THIS ONE always keeps me coming back, i may go away for 6 months at a time

but i always come back

i cant say that for many other games


any....

It is 2012 people. That means in one month the game will be 7 - yes SEVEN years old. I can't see it going anywhere just yet. Just 3 more years until (star)gatewars has a longer life than Stargate SG-1 upon which it was originally based!

the game will die... so you plan on playing this game till you die? i dont think so...

more people are leaving than are joining... kids are getting xbox's and ps3 from the age of 7 or w.e nowadays... why the hell would they join a dated old game?


ermmm now i wonder

Same reason people will buy a ps1 or SNES.

same thing... why would they come to a text base game... when there are stuff like that out there???

can you see any advertisement going on

you have loads of people buying from jason but jason doing **Filtered** all.... years go bye and nothing is done

Because not everyone at a young age (even older age) have **Filtered** loads of money to spend on consoles and over expensive games. I however do have enough money. But still Dean you are a prime example of someone that just thinks of quality and nothing else. A very narrow vision.

lol im a prime example? didnt i play this game, possible before you even did


i was aiming it towards kids nowadays... and most other people
and im not being funny... you can pick a console up for 100 and a few games decent for another 100.... if you cant afford that... you need get off the job seekers allowance (goverment scheme for bums and the dossers) and get a job!!! btw not aiming this at you
