There is something this game has going for it which few others games do: 

 

Simple controls + High Skill Curve + Low on computer resources.

 

I have recently read many complaints about people not being able to play many of the games released on Steam due to hardware limitations.

 

Many gamers seek games where they can feel challenged. Hypothetically: Take any of the top gamers in the world and pit them against a few of our best and they will feel a sense of frustration. This game takes some time to get used to, to learn, and to ultimately compete in. 

 

The skill curve is always rising. I have never felt a limit in Subspace. It is perhaps the most pure form of multi-player competition ever. It has no plateau. 

 

After almost 20 years, noone has mastered this game to the point of invincibility. On any given Sunday, anyone can die out and put their team in jeopardy. 

 

What this game lacks is Marketing.

 

The basic and obvious problem is that noone knows about it. There is so much we can do to revitalize this game and build its population. 

 

1. Spread the word: Get on Blogs, introduce the game.

2. Invite players to try it.

3. Promote the High Skill Curve: Entice people with how challenging it is, no matter how much of a good gamer they are, in this game.. they will have the impact of puppy ears. 

4. Create a website sharing some of the history of this game, educating people on its long standing population, etc.. I am sure this is one of the most successful multi player games ever, if not the first multi player game ever.

 

It does not matter how elaborate other games are, they all get boring eventually and require you to invest real money, or spend incredible amounts of time to compete in. Subspace has the high skill curve to curb all that enthusiasm and humble any individual.

 

To anyone doubting the validity of this post. I rest my case with the following:

Thoughts?

<div>All games are game 1 in a best of 3 series. Only this single game will be played this weekend, so it's not even a huge deal if you miss it to watch something as boring as soccer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3pm:</div>
<div>EGO vs. StarFire Elite -- 1286174</div>
<div>The Dark vs. Assassins -- 1286175</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4pm:</div>
<div>Outlaws vs. Critical Mass -- 1286176</div>
<div>Discombobulate vs. Dropships -- 1286177</div>
<div> </div>
<div>beastfu, Llamas and Backarrow were eliminated. Good season and all that stuff. Apparently NFS started something on Season 36 on the council forum... might want to check that. (I still didn't, so I have no idea what I'm advertising here)</div>

If you truly want to save this zone, find a way to eliminate the aliasing trolls. They are the true cancer of this game.


In before aliased forum trolls.

Been lookin' up a bunch of old websites in existence or in archive.

 

Wanted to get something straight ..

 

Pro League existed, a bit later AML existed ...

 

Then after a couple of seasons of AML (3 I think), they combined into Premier League, which also birthed IML at about the same time.

 

Since then its been Premier League ... but of course often referred to by its individual divisions.

 

Is that right?

 

 

...

 

I have data for :

AML01 running in Oct/Dec of 2000. (Euro league also existed then)

AML02 - Jan/Feb 2001 (Euro League also existed then)

AML03 - Mar-Apr 2001

Prem 01 - Aug-Oct 2001 (AML division noted)

Prem 02 - Feb-May 2002 (AML and IML divs noted)

Prem 03 - Jul-Sep 2002 (AML div noted)

Prem 04 - Nov 02 thru Mar 03 (AML div noted)

Thanks to Nacre and Pempu who have used twitch and youtube respectively to record matches for view at leisure. Totally voluntary actions worth commending. I now know of a third person who started recording games to twitch (they haven't spoken out loud about it so won't mention them) and even saw a fourth at one stage twitch a prac (but didnt mention anything about doing it ongoing).

 

I wonder of these folks should be collaborating to get the best possible spread over the games of each round. Just a thought.

 

Below is a summary of which matches have been recorded (by either Nacre or Pempu) this season. I won't link them as neither have said to me to go ahead and do so. But it gives a sense of the coverage. More matches were covered last season, and indeed a couple of recordings exist from prior then, too.

When new people download spaceships, they are not able to hit "server refresh" and see chaos/league zone. They will not be able to play unless they add some custom zone info and search manually. Is there any plan in place to fix this? I know we all say that Subspace is dead and yada yada, but old players can't even re-log in because they could't find the server. Serious concern, not criticism. I appreciate all the work that is done behind the scenes.

<div>1 OUTLAWS<span> </span>10-1<span> </span>74<span> </span>0.524</div>
<div>2 The Dark<span> </span>9-2<span> </span>63<span> </span>0.524</div>

<div>15 BYE Round<span> </span>0-6<span> </span>-72<span> </span>0.519</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Discombobulate gets +8 and -5, which is about +3.</div>
<div>Dropships gets -8 and +7, which should be close to -1.</div>
<div>StarFire Elite gets +5 and -7, which I googled to be -2.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>EGO has 2 no-shows total. Versus Discombobulate and Critical Mass. The "no-show" vs. SFE is a forfeit.. they had 3 present, both squads opted for them to try for 4 for the other slot.. never happened.</div>
<div>Port Llast sadly did not finish the season.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Congratulations to Nguyenlaws for #winning another regular season, bringing it up to 5 or 6 or so in a row. Good luck to everyone in the playoff series. We'll play them in a one game - two games fashion to ensure they all end on a single date, minimizing bye rounds.</div>
<div>#1-2 BYEs, Outlaws pick the match-up they want their semi opponents from (def. Ass vs. Llama):</div>
<div>#3 Critical Mass vs. #6 Backarrow</div>
<div>#4 Assassins vs. #5 Llamas</div>
<div> </div>
<div>#7-9 BYE Round, EGO picks the opponent or match-up of their choice, the other pairing is a given. Default winner of SFE vs. beastfu.</div>
<div>#10 StarFire Elite vs. #11 beastfu</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All games part of best of 3 series -- will get these on the bots when I get home.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3pm:</div>
<div>Critical Mass vs. Backarrow -- 1285602</div>
<div> </div>

<div>StarFire Elite vs. beastfu -- 1285604</div>
<div> </div>
<div>EDIT: For EGO, what NFS asked</div>

I am not sure why its doing this. Maybe priitk started server with an old backup.

Any time you download a new zone list it will update as a wrong ip and will be in red.

 

The quick fix is this:

 

close Continuum.

go into continuum directory and open up zone.dat. You will see something like this.
