Deathball will die because
  1. No novelties since a long time
  2. Community is too small to manage with the assholes (#dbpickup)
  3. a kind of instigation is in the air
    [/list=1]
    //edit UT2k4 will be the final death

I agree with diab, it's bullshit, everybody talked about deathball dying yadaaa yadaa, yea that was in the time with broomsticks etc. Now deathball is turning into something even better and with ut2004 on the corner, i can't see DB dying....

It wont die.

At least not any time soon.

It's had it's moments and has almost died, but it's still here, it just needs more of a community base. Assholes come with any game, hell even the lead dev is an asshole.

A mod isn't going to die because of the community acting like morons (you know, there is still an NA community, and its actually been picking up lately)

Also, when summer rolls around, all the kids will be home from school, and playing ut2004, which means more db players.

1. Gimme an example where you get novelties with each release. Lots of games didnt change their principle and ppl keep playin it for years though.

2. I dont really understand what you mean. If you criticize the small community, go and play in a bigger one and you will find more idiots and lamers than here.

3. WHAT???? :eek:

At last I dont think UT2k4 will be the final death. UT2k3 was the biggest crap of the year. The whole community splitted. One part keeps playin UT99 the other ut2k3. I guess ut2k4 will own and reunite this two smaller communities and there will be a big one again. And if db will be out for ut2k4 this community will be bigger, you´ll see.

"Novelties" are exactly what have crippled previous versions of Deathball. It was nice to see them all toned down and/or removed. Deathball seems to be progressing forward. Looks more to me like it's Deathballs time to *really* spring into life.

no more need for novelties, i was experimenting with new things in the "beginning", now i know what i want and dont come up with new things all the time, which people wouldnt like (because it would just make all different)
