General Discussion

Personally, i LOVE Mount and Blade and really enjoy everything about it, simply because it gives me the satisfaction that an mmo doesn't. The only thing that is missing would being able to play with other people, even if they were alotted into servers with enough space for 10.

Would be nice if it happened, but as they spent two years perfecting the combat in it, I can imagine they'd do a Darkfall and spend 7 years just porting it to MMO.

Armagan's stated on the TW forums that Multiplayer would, if anything, be implemented in a 'Mount&Blade 2." rather than the current version. That's no MMO, but it is damn fine. :)

I agree! Just imagine, 80 players fighting live in one of the best combat systems ever created... *tears in my eyes*...... That would never get old!

Yes, yes and yes! This game would an awesome MMO. Its been picked up by Paradox now were it was just two people making this game for years, so with the money its possible.

good combat system and it does not drain your system.

one thing i would want to see is an increase in the world size. (80 people on 1 map is nuts)

i think first we shall see a multiplayer mod (by someone with mad networking skills, really mad skills)

I didnt mean 80 people on the strategic map, i meant 80 people on the battle map! WUHUU!!

Plus, i dont think this game would work properly as an mmo...

I voted yes but I have reservations about it.

I'm not so sure that the combat system would work in a mmo.  The combat is twitchy and relies on timing and positioning.  In a single player game it works great because your own computer is controling everything.  If you get a little lag..everything lags, not just you.

You guys know what I'm talking about.  Put 80 real players on a battle map hosted by a company server and the people with the best computers and the best ping would win every time.  I'm no expert on this stuff but hasn't this sort of thing always been the issue with twitchy combat in mmo's?

For the guys winning every time it would probably be great fun.  But I'm afraid they might soon find themselves in a very lonely world.  But if they could make it work it would be great.

For now I'd be very happy if they (or some modder) could come up with a multiplayer version just so I could play lan games with one other person.

Check out some of the videos and you guys tell me you don't want in on some of that action.

darkfall online devs are huge Mount & Blade fans and directly stated their combat system would be a lot like it. but dont get hopes up for DFO I'm just mentioning it

I would play a Mount & Blade multiplayer server that would be fine for me too.
