Greetings everybody!

Didn't know that Warzone was still this much alive - I'm positively surprised, not to mention impressed! Just installed the game again today and bumped onto this site when I was searching for patches for the game. Good to know the game is not dead ;D

Hope to have fun here and keep up the great work you are all doing!

Greetings. Welcome to the forum.

I wish this place was more active...

The forum is pretty inactive but it wont die out as long the game is being worked on.
Maybe when they get a full release with FMV's, music and voiceovers and make some noise about it wz2100 community will pick up and get bigger.

* I thought of something this week that seemed kinda wild as far as expanding WZ awareness....

* Been a fan of Linden Labs "Second Life" since it opened in 2003.

* Currently it sports close to 5 Million inhabitants and over 5 million a month in transactions in its marketplace (some peeps actually make a RL good living outta that virtual space.)

* I can't even begin to summarize the breath of stuff to see and do in "SL"..... one thing though that ties into what I would call "promotion" are the presence in "SL" of RL politicos, rock-groups showcasing their tours, movie studios premiering teasers of new flix, companies like Amazon & Toyota having spaces and avators you can interact with....plus fan clubs of all sorts...

* Imagine if you will a place built in "SL" around the facination that is engageing WZ... a really kwel place to meet in 3D as an avatar of your own making to chat with others about your interests in WZ - whatever they might be: codeing, moding, playing mp, etc...

* Sorta of an extention of a purely text-based MP Lobby..... 'cept a full 3D world with 3D avatars, RT vox communication and so on...

* Kinda mind-boggling, huh, the possibilities...access to 5 million inhabitants.

I know second life, however I'm not sure we will get a lot of people from it, even if they are 5 million subscribed (not active).
From what i know they only have about 100~200k active and some companies left from SL recently (Dell for exemple).
And last, SL is for casual gamers, wz2100 is more for hardcore gamers.
I don't see a casual gamer from SL picking up a complicated game like wz2100.

I thought more of expanding wz2100 by asking game sites to review the game, but for that the game must be more polished then it is now.

* None of the "SL" Demographic Analytics i've examined (data thru 8/29/07) seem to support these assertions . Perhaps you can point me to your reference sources 'cause i'm always up to learning something new.

* "FreeGamer", which is one of the premier sites for open source games, has very favorably reviewed WZ and is good about covering all the updated releases. It's a great site IMHO.

* Certainly, as you suggest, it would be good if commercial game portals would cover WZ Resurrection in kind - which I think could happen if there were an evolutionary leap in GPMs - short of that, all the surface polish will not, I think, attract their attention as news-worthy. But heck, I could be totally wrong in that assessment.

I was using old figures when they had 2m users, but the ratio still holds true.
They have now about 500k active users.
Active users are users who have been logged in for at least an hour in the last 30 days.

Just search on google: second life active users.
It returns a lot of data and pages telling the same.

Edit:
Now of those active users just try to imagine how much connect multiple times a week to SL, not that much I think.
