why not to distribute some free copies of the game so there are more players online?
 
im waiting and waiting for wonderwoman view servers and nothing

devs should consider some way of increasing online players like giving away copies like in contests

edit:

in fact ill be totally honest even if i risk being banned

imo the victory of il2 over cfs was due at the online numbers and that was cause one protected the game while the other didnt protect it which translated in a 500% more online players for the smarter one

my point is that il2 won over cfs cause they didnt protect the game which translated in more online players

is like plants which let themsleves be eaten by their natural enemies in order to reach farther their seeds :)

so how would you solve the problem of the so few online players?

wouldnt it be best giving copies away?

even if it was given away many people like me would buy it

Your assumption/opinion is in error.. In that you equate IL2 to CFS where the only difference is that CFS protected the game.

Once you realize that error, you will than be able to look at all the other factors that 'could have' caused CFS demise. Off the top of my head, one of the biggest complaint about CFS was people could tweak the FMs with ease, which in turn caused a lot of cheating online. And that is just one example of how IL2 was not like CFS back in the day. Thank god tweaking the FM via mods in IL2 requires a lot more effort, otherwise IL2 would be suffering the same fate IMHO.

CFS wasn't protected, aircraft could be added & modded at will, this was, in fact, its downfall, initially IL-2 was lauded for its FM & DM integrity, the fact these were protected was the reason for its success.

I think he ment copy protected?

Or maybe he ment the color blue taste good?

Hard to tell with raaid! ;)

(ps I don't think CFS was copy protected either by the way)

Agreed 100%

yes but i fear for the future of this game with so few players online

imagine they gave to each game owner who paid for it the posibility to give it to someone free as a +mas present

online cannon fodder for the oldies :)
