If 1C actually make a server to host a lobby on, will people stay with it?, or will they jump ship, scatterring people over various different lobbies like HL, ACE, etc... and eventually kill off the game online. We all know that over time, people do become a little bored with playing the same game over many years and there becomes only the diehard people left who really do love the genre, scatter these few across different lobbies, and then, theres lots of tiny communities on software which quite frankly could become unsupported at any moment soon as the 1 person that made it says enoughs enough, i have better things to do in life than write software and spend time and money on things that are just for other peoples pleasure. i played IL2 since it was first released in UBI lobby for the first 5-6 years, it was only when there became so few people on UBI lobby that our squad decided to go over to HL. and to be honest, i found it deeply dissapointing in many ways (technically, its a lot more basic compared to UBI lobby and unprofessionally written peice of software (a prime example is that for years it didnt even detect your screen res and adjust the program to fit properly to your screen with you enterring unix-esq commands that you had to dig around in a manual to find out!), and secondly, the community is absoluteley no different from UBI community anyway, in fact, on HL i found people obsessed with keeping their game rooms for only Elite pilots etc... to keep out any TK'ers etc... but on UBI i very rarely ever had issues with TK'ers and i would go as far to say UBI community was better for this very reason. Granted most of the games being hosted were not on real switch settings but whats to stop some people from starting to host some?!). So ended my online gaming on IL2. I wasnt prepared to download various other lobbies chasing the community around (and asking my squad to also do the same) while they flippantly changed their mind on what was the latest lobby buzzword. UBI was good enough, but the community never bothered to make an effort to make it good imho.
undeserving. community needs to stick with 1C lobby if 1C make one.
the comments i made are my own opinion based on my experiences.
