Is this game Dead?

I cant find anyone?

November 11, 2012 12:06:39 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey guys,

 

I am sorta new here. I played the Original Sins years ago, have always wanted to get back to it, and just recently bought Rebellion. Now, I logged into ICO, and there IS NOONE ONLINE.

 

I searched the forums, and some of the lastest posts on some threads here are FOR GODS SAKES MONTHS old.

 

Is this game dead?   I guess I'll see by how many *days* it takes someone to reply.

 

Thanks.

Rebellion should have some games online. Older versions not so much.

Plenty of threads in the main forum are from yesterday, so I don't think you looked very hard.

Edit: 132 people on the Rebellion ICO server right now.

The original Sins ICO server is probably pretty dead.  You can find folks in Rebellion still, mostly in the evenings and on weekends.

Well i just bought Rebellion, because of Steam Sales, and there is only one hosted mp game that i can find.

 

I know the Trinity Singleplayer well enough, so the whole reason to buy this was MP.

Rebellion is still going strong and hard, thousands of people play the game however most of us Multiplayer players keep putting of the newbies as we're too good and the problem is with Sins is that it's hard to get up to the same tactics and rushes because they take time to learn.

 

It's very much alive, I host 2-3 training sessions every week for new starters. If you want a hand let me know and I'll gladly give you a shout

Ya on any given evening you'll find about 150 people online and 2-3 games up.  You may wait for some time (15-30 minutes occasionally) for a 5v5 to fill up but we still play.

I'm suspect the original poster will find the 3 month delay on these last two posts informative.

if it's dead then you find majority of the players here trolling about rather than getting a game started. you'll guaranteed to see more trolls here than on ICO.

Ironclad Online, where you play against normal players, not just friends (like on LAN).

Those stats are promising but don't guarantee a good connection....other activity on your connection or the quality of your ISP can still cause lag spikes or DCs, and speetest.net isn't going to report that....
