The DX Community - Make like a DoDo

[Shinobi]

Yes, the community is D-E-A-D.

Dead I tell thee.

BUUUUUUUUUUT..... anyone wanting to keep this game alive (at least until DX3 comes out lol) say "AYE!"

PS: DX3 better fucking have multiplayer.


I don't get this tho.... [A] wanted to bring new people to the community in early 2008, then they suddenly die? Hmmm.... good effort that was!

I still believe (a teeny bit) that we could maybe possibly bring a few more people to the community, but it does seem pointless with all the newer and - dare I say it - better games out there. I've been a fan of DX for 5 years, and an avid MP player for over a year (not long, relatively speaking, but still...) and I STILL love the game (bit bored of MP now but the SP game still overwhelms me how well it was made).

In case you're wondering "what's this guy's point?", I'll save you the agony of reading on.... there isn't one. Just... it's a shame. I've felt [A] have been keeping the community alive (along with RTK/B2S/everyone else paying for good servers/and a little bit of FGS but not too much).... now they're gone.... Awww =(

I would do my usual plan of starting a clan and then disbanding them after a few days of inactivity, but that would be pointless. No new players, old players leaving for other games, etc etc.

There must be someone else who thinks that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE.... we could spark off some kind of revival? I think we could, but I also think it would be extremely difficult, so maybe not worth doing.

Dunno. Meh. I don't even have the internet at the moment anyway so what am I on about?! When I move back home I'll be having a think about what to do. Failing that I'll just start playing new games, since I now have the PC power to do so.

Adios amigos. Well, not amigos, most people dislike me here, but still, I don't hold any hard feelings at all... it's a sodding game lol.

Let's see how shit pans out.

-Shinobi,
--God of all things useless.

PS: Look out for "Midnight Sun" server mid-september. Zero augs, original maps, users can request to add their maps, good maps will be added, also maps recommended by any of [A]'s head honchos will be added.

Oh good

[Shinobi]

Admittedly that's an eloquent and almost quite touching piece of writing, and I never said Alpha has done nothing for DXMP, I was merely referring to your main website which states in no uncertain terms that the clan's aim for 2008 was to expand the community.

Then you left the game.


... Good effort THAT was!

I have always looked to Alpha for advice all through my DXMP life (albeit a short one), and this forum (to me, at least) is the home of everything DXMP. It's almost the official home, really, I'm sure most would agree.

I had/have no intention of having a poke at your clan, I'm just a tad disappointed that your aim of expanding the community never came to fruition.

[Alex]

Oh yes, it was good effort. We were close to realizing a few things, a few major things. And then we got attacked. Once again. It was the drop that made the bucket flow.

[Kaiden]

Well we try, and then people destroy what we work to achieve - With the "DXMP.net masterserver", all the new players that joined the community and don't visit forums are lost to that MS.

You gotta dig up the story before making any conclusions. Our decision to retire was deeper than you probably think.

This forum is a Deus Ex community forum, we welcome singleplayer/overall game series discussion.

Moreover there will be a new site on dxalpha.com.

if i was A i would of given up sooner, so fair play to you guys!

I would like to see DX dead.
Just to say to this dickheads i.e. FGS " you wanted change deus ex and messed up with it and now it's dead. Goodwork "

[~SaSQuAtCH~]

Yea if they weren't around, DX would really start dying... Noone would host those servers with new maps and unique mods

[Aidan]

I don't know what your talking about.. but that's all our clan hosts (I just need to buy better servers)

[~SaSQuAtCH~]

DXSG, Altfire

[James]

But DXSG is baddddddddddddddddd after the first run through.

[~SaSQuAtCH~]

What do you mean? You take over secret base then it's over?

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

But DXSG is baddddddddddddddddd after the first run through.

Oh shut it.
DXSG ownz.

[James]

What do you mean? You take over secret base then it's over?

Pretty much, all after you raid the base for the first time successfully and keep hold of it for long enough.. and that's it, the whole gameplay! It's essentially "keep control of the cool base using Deus Ex combat and Stargate portals"

The only replay factor is to play it by yourself to discover Nobody's dirty secrets.

Yeah and it was probably the most played server in 2006 for no reason.

Also the fact there are like over 3 different entrances, cloak aug, etc, it would often be re-taken by different teams - Then the fact that you could take super weapons out of the Base and fire them at spawn points is always fun.

[James]

But I already got bored with those super weapons back in 2003-2004!

[Kaiden]

How can you get bored of all those flashes and explosions and people dieing?

[James]

Jim Bowen's server.

[~SaSQuAtCH~]

It's been loooong since it was last online..

I would beforehand think of all the retards that contributed to the fall of the game *looks at [B]*, and only then think of how the mods contributed to it.

Modifications cannot be blamed if people prefer them over the original game. It just means the real community who would be interested in the real game has left and the real game can no longer sustain itself, while something alternative and perhaps seemingly more "fun" takes the top.

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

Jim Bowen's server.

Jimbo's server owned, KKK?

[James]

I know, it was a lot different than DXSG lol.

[Psycho]

Jim Bowens server owned.

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

Indeed.

[clyzm]

JimBo inspired me to become interested in modding.

[James]

Jim Bowen's server changed my life, as bad as it sounds.

[Psycho]

I lived in that server.

[~SaSQuAtCH~]

in sewers tho, rite?
