I know that atWar will be shutdown in the future, when Dave decides that he doesn't want to continue on with this game, I'm not sure who would pick it up. I want to dedicate this thread to us expressing our love and gratitude for this game. No matter how few people we are, we'll still play this game till the day it dies.

I'll go first. I made my first account in 2014 under the name of PartySUPERB15. I played up until rank 7, then completely forgot about the game, until I re-discovered it back in 2018. That's when I made my main account here, woojoo. I didn't meet many people through the game, but I hope I got along with you guys well enough (even if I am shit at 3v3s).

atWar is not shutting down lol.... I intend to keep it going for the long haul. Even if I'm the last one playing the game against a bunch of bots!

But otherwise I like the idea of this thread. I'll go: I started in 2018 (I think?) with my super-secret alt that still lurks in casuals from time to time. I still love the game, just wish I had more time to play these days.

That's good to hear bro, but do u think u're gonna have some time to deal with the players decreasing numbers ? I mean things are not good atm

Would be nice if you were not the only player left

I'm not going to have any time in the foreseeable future, unfortunately

I would sacrifice my soul to resurrect AtWar :'(

Can we just rewrite Atwar from scratch and trick people into thinking its a new game not a 15 year old game

I've a lot of good memories from this game. Years of fun cws/duels and drama with old friends and rivals. 204-2016 for me was peak. But the game kept ticking on even then. I'd probably still be playing, but unfortunately there are those who don't want me back on this game.

I've a lot of fondness for all the people I played with. Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, I truly hope that life is kind and you achieve whatever it is you want to achieve. I even hope good old Clovis is thriving lol.

All the best.

hey frend u still alive i thought dave roped you

The state of the game is dire, and I think it's doomed from the start. No one who values their time is going to spend four hours waiting for a game to fill, only to pray that at least half the players have the basic competence to build walls that aren't... perfect triangles (and the tutorial clearly isn't helping). The overall skill level has plummeted, and what little community remains has either migrated to casual play, moved on to other games entirely, or is simply doing more productive things. At this point, it's best to let go of the game that once gave us such great times with the people who truly made it worthwhile.

Dave stop being homosexual and unban cunts

I wish you all would just fuck off already.

Ngl i cracked up reading this

As a 2011-2012 player I've been active through most of the memorable periods of this game, and for me personally the period between 2012/2013 - 2016 was peak AW, especially the period end2012/mid2013-2015.

During this time the game went through a lot of changes. The name Afterwind got changed into AtWar (ugh), a lot of new players started playing the game, this resulting in a lot, but I mean A LOT of new clans making the whole community explode. Because the game got shifted into like a new era, this meant that a lot of people wanted to help out within the community as much as they could, resulting in such things as the AtWar-Times Network thanks to Madara, the radio-channels and people hosting the radios, a lot of people coming up with creative things to uplift the game, the mechanics, the gameplay etc. (Un)fortunately this meant a shift in the gameplay as well, which had both its pros and cons.

During this period the map maker got introduced as well (somewhere end 2012/start of 2013), and I think thats where a lot of new players came to the game as well, giving us a very creative and fun games/maps, such as the King of the Hill-hype from Freeland (and Tunder/Ezzatam as well I think) that started somewhere in 2013, which in my opinion was one of the most fun periods I've had on this game. We saw other players like avatar and Tik-tok creating maps/scenarios that got played literally everyday. Not a day went by without seeing at least one WWII/WWI and some Ancient world games. Unfortunately I saw my favourite map: World Map, decreasing in popularity, but still a lot of people from the core playerbase hosted them from time to time, resulting in neverending games that could take up 50 to 100 turns.

The silverlight/html5 crossover is what led to a lot of players leaving the game, they didn't feel like the game felt like it did before. In my opinion, somewhere in 2014/2015 the game hit its peak and from there on it took a little bit of a nosedive, however, not as bad as the last 3/5 years. But the unsportmanslike things that people got accustomed to, such as the wf's, bigwalls, rewallls, bypassing walls, everything to like gain the advantage, is what in my opinion killed the whole 'fun-vibe' of this game.

Which is basically something I've noticed happened to a lot of games during the last 10 years or so, where sweaties just changed the whole vibe of a game..

Peak atwar 2014-2016

There were so many people on, so much of our own culture then. The crowds who were always playing scenarios like ancient world, UN and GoT Political. I wish there was a way to get people to play this game again, it was awesome back in those days.

I feel this. Peak AW was my favorite MMO game ever. I loved playing in all of the big scenarios with all of the players that were on back then.

waffel man you belong in an atwar museum
but you're saying if the mechanics changed to not allow unsportsman like behaviours it would make the game a lot more fun and maybe it starts growing again, yeah?

Crazy to see people I once spent nights playing with last logged in 10 years ago. Great times. I'll never forget Afterwind and the friendships it gave me. I wish I could relive those days, but it's impossible. The game has changed, so has the internet and our lives.
