What does FAF mean to you?

Postby Flynn » 20 Jan 2015, 12:14

Sometimes we spend day after day on FAF. We don't know these other people whom we meet regularly, or whom we play against, train with, sometimes talk about our days with. Who are they? What do you have in common? A video game? Come on. Is this really all it is? One day, the FAF server will be empty. There will be no one there. What will it be like when that day comes? At the moment there are at least 200 people online at any given time. One day, the community will dwindle. The thought of that makes me sad. But when stuff in real life has been happening, I have not felt the need to visit FAF for weeks, even months. It makes me sad that something I spend so much time on could be so easily set aside in favour of other activities. But I know, when stuff starts happening in RL again, I will not have time to dedicate to FAF and that makes me feel guilty. For it is we, the individuals, who make FAF what it is. We need regulars to keep the community going, so what happens when those regulars have stuff happen in RL? FAF is immediately put on the back of the priority list, what can we do to combat this?

It's always the same. I own over 200 games and i'm sitting there ... hhhhmmmm ... what game should i play today ... Rome II or Dirt 3 ... ah damn i will play FA. So what has FAF that other games don't have? A great community! Games are funny if you aren't playing alone and we know each other on FAF. To say i like it to talk and play with other players. A single player game is realy boring compared to this and i don't like other games like Starcraft 2 where you won't find an opponent more then one time.

Ya FA is just that awesome because of its community, just take a look at Aelous or the ingame chats. Everyone is just totaly friendly, as far as possible for everyone, everyone speaks english, nobody calls you a cheater,hacker or noob (at least not in the higher rated games).

and those amazing Modders, Moderators, Mapper and Programmer that actually get things done.

Or DO, and play FA in its full scale, and indulge yourself in the harshness of verbal molestation, which is still "friendly" in the end :)
