"then how the hell can you get players?"

Surprise, surprise! That's the whole point of this thread. Why are you asking the same question back?

People have their reasons for not playing. I'm sure the reasons are plenty. Giving a copy of the game to users I'm sure has nothing to do with it.

Only way to attract new members is for IGZ to freely allow torrents of Aok to be used and played with.
Also, you contradicted yourself. (This is Voobly, not IGZ.)

Can you please allow/give an option to users to play rated games. Sure, you can keep the default as a non-rated room/game but there should be an option to play rated like there is to choose Anti cheat protection etc. It sucks not to have a point system anymore, I know the players wanted to get rid off it, but they made that suggestion and all F'd off! ;grr

Now, it's like playing vs the computer at times there is no challenge and no sense of competition left. If you give an option to play rated games, I guarantee you a lot of players will come back, if not; new players at the least will enjoy playing for points and with time, the number of players will increase exponentially.

So, concluding my point. Can we get the point system back and option to choose rated/non-rated games. Players can choose not to play rated if they want to, damn the old players who made this suggestion then ran away! ;grr

Thanks, in advance. ;)

Having games being rated won't help until there are plenty of people to have experts playing experts and "noobs" playing "noobs." Rated is good when you have enough people. But, when there are only a few, people will be too worried about their rate to play. When it started to die off on zone, and we had like 20 people, you would have people who had 1800 who wouldn't play under 1800 and gay crap like that

What about try to include AOK/AOC rm in the same lobby, same for DM and CS.
If theres 400 players in AOC CS lobby and you would be able to host AOK CS games, some AOC players might try a game just for fun and might even like it.

And since people from AOC already have AOK i dont see the big difficulties here.
Maybe add an icon besides the game like they have on GR

Those of you still concerned about this lobby being rated - it won't be. As previously said, I don't know why you believe it should be rated because we hardly have any players to begin with. Since this lobby has been unrated, there have been a slight increase in the number of players in this lobby.

@ SSA - You dont' need a CD to play here. You just need to have the game installed, have the patch installed and our client.

in my opinion what drives new players away is the lack of support and help plus having to download updates all the freaking time makes people prefer g***ra**** over voobly which is a lot more simple

The support and help is here. Either people don't know where to look, or they are too lazy to read the forum. The updates that were going on were client improvements for our players. For example, adding languages to our client so our players can choose which language they want to use as not all of our players speak English. We have made several changes to our client in the past months because many of our players requested these changes. Due to these changes, the client updates are necessary.

If you think the support and help here is bad...try finding it on GR. This is why we have moderators and forums.

Help can be found on the forum and on the client by clicking 'Help' (Forum), or by clicking 'Live Help' (Client) on the top right hand corner.

People play wherever the most players are, unfortunately they are all on a crappy zone. :(
