Still playing?

December 18, 2009 9:02:33 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey folks. I gave Sins a try back when it was new, but due to college/money/etc I never got around to purchasing it. However, I have Christmas break to relax, and am looking for something new, so I want to know...

Do folks still play this game online? Is there an active in-game community?

Thanks!

the MP forums have always been a little small, but the game still chugs along just fine, will be releasing a second x-pack soon (feb 2010)

In-game community is very small.

If you play at odd hours you may have trouble.  Otherwise there's almost always a game up to join.  One of the upsides is that you'll get to know a lot of the players you meet on a frequent basis.

I guess the fact that this several-day-old-post is still near the top of the page is a pretty good answer to my question...

The multiplayer organizer forum is rarely used.  Probably should be consolidated with the multiplayer forum.

Just log onto ICO and dive in.  There are lots of games to be had if you're on from 2 pm to 12 am U.S EST and you have Entrenchment.  You might have to wait for a game to open up sometimes or host one yourself, but once you've mastered the AI and had a taste of human opposition, you won't want to go back to stomping the AI.

Organizing games dont really work well, thats why the game save feature for multiplayer is almost pointless.
