    Icon5 When Will GameSpy Drop Rome???

    Hi all,

    Rome's multiplayer days are numbered. But when exactly will they stop running the Multiplayer Server? Does anyone have any ideas?

    I've got a feeling CA will stop supporting the server when they get round to releasing their next total war (which is hinted at being Rome 2 Total War).

    What do you guys think?

    Evan

    iwon't miss it.


    Edit: EA dropped shogun 5 years after launch. Medieval is still around after 8.

    I can only see the servers lasting longer and longer.

    It probably wont be for a long while, since many people still paly and RTW still sells some copies these days.

    Yeah I'm still getting alot of my friends to buy RTW. Actually many copies are still being sold. Esp since they released it over steam.

    Keep the servers. Or heads will roll.

    And get a sense of humour. those who where here before the mod got there will get the post.

    In the mean time C-Rob and Empr guy have valid points. Servers die when there arent enough players. RTW has plenty of those.

    Why do people believe what they hear and read. 2012 lol. The world was ment to end in 2000 aswell and one day yes the world will end but it will not be the world ending that courses humans to be extict it will most likely be some kind of global epedimic. Or a nuclear war, but personally i don't bother watching desaster movies or care about them, they are just way's to make money using the global warming as a way to make people believe in it all. How many ice ages has there been? how many more will there be?

    They say a part of Miami will break off one day, maybe it will but when and why? they say if the ice caps melt the sea will rise by XXX amounts and many will die. The day after tomorrow tried to give an insight into the deverstating effects the ice caps melting would do. Personally i look at glovbal warming as the planet cycle which it does ever XXX amount of years.

    What the hell is the OP talking about!? No other TW game attracts so many new players to its multiplayer each day as RTW, the lobby is constantly full of newbies...

    It would make more sense to drop the much less played M2TW and ETW, before dropping their masterpiece (tho M2TW deserves to be up an running too, but ETW is an abomination that should be cleansed from the surface of earth or in this case Steam)

    Playing the MacGyver Theme song backwards didn't reveal the exact month unfortunately, however there are 2 (!) Friday the 13th that year, 1 in September and 1 in December, so it's a surprise! Friday the 13th in December are generally considered to be the worst Friday the 13th's though, so I bet on that one.

    EDIT: Would you call me crazy if I told you that the pyramids weren't constructed by humans, but by dinosaurs? (Open your mind people! )

    Actually they are not extinct, those fossils they got at the museum are actually real live dinosaurs (real dinosaurs don't have flesh you know, only in science fiction movies, the apocalyptic move Night at the Museum is the only true cinematic adaption of Dinosaurs I know of) in deep hibernation, well in hibernation for the moment at least...

    Ever wondered why the obelisks of Egypt looks like gigant penises? It's becuase they are! In fact the erect penises of Gigant Master Dinosaurs hibernating beneath the desert sands. They have been in a deep slumber for eons, haunted by impure dreams... Should they ever awake it's:

    The Pyramids really were landing sites for interplanetary starships that enslaved primitive populations by posing as their gods.
