the server is empty and will be like that awhile, and if there are 2 ppl on and one is notably better than the other then one will ragequit
my solution idea is AI enemy
you don't rlly get points for fighting them and taking flags points reduced heavily so point farming isn't a thing


look, I know the server fell cuz nobody played it, and id hate for us to go down that road again.
 
Probably THE worst idea ever in Empirewar history. How easy it is for one to manipulate those NPC, how easy it is to take advantages, how countless bugs will appear that would need insane amounts of time to fix, etc etc.

how I do not want this server to die. give another idea to keep a server going at 2 people then
 
Tim and Steal can't just make AI players. Even if it's possible they will be extremely easy to kill. The server has always been low on players during this time of the year due to school. And with the amounts of donations it's been getting i think we can manage for a while.
 
This server is far from dying. I don't know what part of the world you're in but if you're around Australia then you won't get many people until around 11pm. Check out the statistics page to see when the best time to play is. (Keep in mind that you need to convert this timezone to your timezone.)

I am in the same position as you and would prefer there to be something better to do than parkour while I wait for someone to come online and play, but AI is not the answer as it would cause an enormous amount of trouble to code and bugs to occur. I doubt it's in the staff's agenda to cater to the minority of the server that is in Oceania that I estimate to be about four active players.
 
There is already that thing that its faster to capture of o bash gates if here re very few people online
 
  • The reason we have got more players over the past two months is due to Summer.
  • The reason we have not got as many players now, is due to it not being Summer.
  • A secondary reason is no more weekly updates, because Tim remembered real life for a time.
  • Financially, we have enough money to keep us going for about 8 months, I believe - so the sever will not die due to lack of funds.
  • Another reason why the server will not die is because Tim has noticed he gets loads of money after each update (we got 500 euros last month).
  • EW will keep plodding along.
 
it is excellent we are in good shape, but I look to the future and worry, however my current fears have been put to rest.

it still would be nice to have something to do with 1 or 2 players, wether that be ai or rpg or arcade or better parkour or something else

Ai is a terrible idea
RPG just means another server - more lag less players making the problem worse
Arcade again causes more lag and less players IE 1 and 1 on each server
I can safely say you have not finished every parkour on EW

theres one, and only one, and its pretty boring.
as for finished it yes about twice, but its hard with lag. if u don't like those ideas then why don't u show your care for the server and come up with another way to keep few players entertained
 
Maybe he thinks it's fine as it is, or that there is nothing to do about it?
