outwars
ok so I am really tired and should probably wait till tommorow to post this up but I can't. I used to play this game called Outwars which was created back in 1998. it started out with about 2-300 people playing I think. now it has around 2-3, lmao. sadly I am one of those few who still play. if the game wasn't so fun and I didn't have this feeling that drove me to help this sad and lonely game throughout the years then I would just move on. there is nothing I can do really, I'm a smart guy but trying to get people to play a 7 year old game which hardly anyone plays anymore is extemely difficult.
i'm not really sure what I want. eventually I know the game will die and we (the loyal followers) will just have to accept that. so why? why do we keep trying month after month year after year to try and bring back this dead game? well obviously it must be a pretty good fricken game then! or we are just stupid. either way I would just like even for a few months for this game to be something more then a lonely distant memory of when it used to be popular.
a few months back I created a forums to get all of the old players back and see how things would progress. it was going so good and there was such high hopes. then someone decided to make a PHP site which they wanted me to run and shut down my forums. It was a great upgrade but it never really caught on like the forums did. we had over 40 members and about 400 posts or something like that. It was so upsetting to see it all come down.
anyways a few nights ago an old friend from outwars msg's me and asked me if Outwars was still happening. I told him I think it was dead but if he wanted to I would help him try to bring it back again. that's just what happens with Outwars I guess. a few guys put in a lot of work to get it going and then it dies after a few months. ugh well I swear this is the last time I give it a shot. no more BS. I will try my hardest. maybe I can even put this down somewhere in the future for a job thingy or something. nahhh doubt it, lol.
so here we are down to big question; do you want to play Outwars with us? really? that's great! click on the link to the side that says outwars.org on it to get directed to the main site. there you will get a bit of information on the game and be able to Download it.
if you're having problems with it I will write up a few pages that I feel will help you out.
here is the first one I wrote up a little while ago:
