Is this forum nearing it's end?
Possibly. Crytek acquired Black Sea Studios.
People still post on these forums from time to time. So make the most of them while you can for tomorrow they may not be accessible.
What?
That's explain why there is almost no activity.
Maybe time to go to paradox plaza? There still KoH Forum, Is there?

What the hell happened?
KoH hardcore fans still stay there, but there is almost nothing to post about.. and Worldshifters have left the forum. That's why the forum is nearly dead. Why?
it has few explanations:
1) WorldShift and complications with it's release in English (German (and few Russian) players have noone to play online and already got bored, all others still can't buy the game)
2) Knights of Honor are already more than 4 years old - no wonder that nearly noone posts on KoH forum
I don't think Crytek has anything to do with this... the failiure of this forum is only connected to failiure of WorldShift, that's my personal explanation. Crytek can only save it (there is no problem to redirect the forum to new adress and to name it "Crytek Blyck Sea forums" and I expect it to happen sooner or later, but the problem is not name of forums, but no posts
btw, as long as this forum was mainly KoH forum, it was hardly surviving, WS gave it new hope, but most, if not all worldshifters have left now
PS: nice to see you back. Where have you been?

Yeah I wondered where IWM went too?
Yeah I wondered where IWM went too?Hello again guys,
I was busy playing Dwarf Fortress...
I remember I know dwarf fortress because of someone here, except who?
DF is highly addicting. Fantasy Simulator. You guys should check it.
Well, I just began playing KoH again, with the new Gathering mod.
OK OK Frujin...
I just not detect any activity, at all, after june (well there are some, but very few, activity)
So I just assumed the worse (being a pessimist :bash: )
Good Luck, and finish WorldShift, Frujin and all the Crytek Black Sea employees!!
Small comment: remember it's holiday time. Every year there is talk of dead forums around summertime. I think summertime is the worst time to conclude a forum is dead.

True.
Eh, here we don't get many holiday.
The next holiday is in Ramadhan (really holy days), and I'll play games (or browse internet) until whatever time I want it to be.
Sorry if there is some different in culture (altough it seemed more like geographical differences)
IWM
the "cultural" difference is that in Europe and the States most of (especially young) people try to spend as many time outside their homes on various trips to know some new beautifull places, instead of sitting at home.
The worst thing to happen during your holidays is when someone from work calls you or writes you some impatient e-mail.. so many of us prefere not to check the net (unless we are addicted to it)
btw, I just came home from great boat canoe trip, and I really enjoyed it to have my phone switched off for most of those days and there was no reason to check the internet.

I wouldn't be so sure about that (though I myself already had my Summer trip-mix of mountain, sea and village). :rolleyes:
[Sorry if I'm turning this Were are the people? thread into a Where have you been? thread, but it's in the Thirsty Lamb anyway.]

For myself, I went to South Africa and Namibia - I can really recommend them, the Southern Cape and Etosha national park especially. The latter is an amazing place where you can see the big mammals from your own car, which is different from other African countries where you have to take a guided safari. But the rest of the countryside is wonderful as well, in fauna, flora (flowering) and landscape.
Less appealing is the difference in wealth, concentrated around the large towns, between black and white. Also, a good example is a farm I went to in Namibia, run and owned by Germans (the former colonizers of Namibia) who had service of black people doing the hand work like brooming, cooking et cetera.

IWMWith `holidays' I meant days free of work, not literally the holy days. Lower and high schools and universities are closed for about 6-9 weeks during summer here, the summer vacation/holidays. Going farther south the summer is at another time in the year, so I guess (summer) vacation customs are different as well. Do you not have such a long break from school/university like I mentioned?

He probably meant the same, it's just a pun he made - you know, as a joke >.<
Where have you been?
Ah, nowhere outside the country... yet... I was first at my favourite mountain, Vitosha (which I can see every day from my home anyway), then at my favourite city on the Black Sea, Varna (though I could hardly recognize it, it's changed so much) and lastly I visited my grandparent's village for a few days. Otherwise, I'm usually at home almost whole day, doing nothing or trying to make another friend go outside for a change (though I made him watch Babylon 5, so it's an MI right now). And it doesn't help when almost all your friends are away in the Summer either... :)

Where have you been?
I think the question relates to this thread:
Where are the people? on holidays.. where on holidays?
I really didn't leave my country this summer yet, and I hope I will sometime in autumn have some short trip, but nothing certain yet.
As for this summer I only was on 2 short trips inside Bohemia: one canoe trip last week - with my friends we visited several small towns along Vltava river (Český Krumlov, Rozmberk, Vyssi Brod - I recomend them all 3 - there are great castles and monasteries there)
and before that I only went to our "traditional" "piggy party" in the northern part of Bohemia, again very close to German borders. Apart from that nothing really interesting

Yeah, in Ramadhan (half a month, a week at the start, a week at the end), At New Study (academic?) Year, which is at June-July, 2 weeks or more. At Christian's New Year, a week (with Christmas too.) or 2. And some holiday (not Holy Day) that is splintered and disorganized (I mean far from each other).
We don't have summer break here, as there is no summer (only dry season.) Alas, in wet season Jakarta is hit by frequent flood, if we're lucky the school's hit (Ya, here the students partying if there is a disaster, if that means we get a holiday)
REASON: Our study is hard. Very hard. With the UN (National Exam, Very Hard), ow.
This is the price of tropical climate (but here there is no ice nor snow. So it is good for people like me who get sinusythis (sp?)
Hahaha...

Ah, if only we had holidays like that (6 weeks? That's OVERKILL! We would have reach Borneo by boat in that time)
Alas, that wish would be corrupted with homeworks (vacationworks?)
PS: We are slaved by our current academical curriculum. Need Help, Blurp blurp blurp (D#mn Acceleration program, why did I choose you? babbling..........)
sinusythis (sp?)
what is it supposed to be?

I'm glad I don't live down there in tropical climate. But anyway, do you get homeworks after the end of your shoolyear?
any I wonder when you have the end of your shoolyear.
Btw: Palestinians do have some short summer vacation, if I'm not mistaken, I thought that muslim countries have it more-or-less the same.

If I see it correctly on the map, there's always a road along the path you mentioned over the Vltava? It sounds like an interesting place to canoe in any case.

I'd sure like to visit Bulgaria sometime, but perhaps the Vistosha massif is a bit touristic?

Well, Vitosha (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Sofia-vitosha-kempinski.jpg) has a ski-lift, but otherwise I'd say it isn't very touristic today (although it has a nice stone-river (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Stone-River-Autumn.jpg) and was exactly the place where one of our best authors had created the national touristic society one century ago). The Rila (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/Pogled_kum_ezerata_ot_biloto.JPG)-Rhodope (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/Dyavolski_bridge.jpg) massif attracts most of the mountain-tourists here.
The last photograph is surrealistic..!
Thanks for the information, by the way. If I'd go there, I'd probably want to know some good spots from a local, not from the tourist guide.
Surrealistic? I'm not sure what you mean. It's probably photoshopped, but otherwise it's a picture of the existing Devil's (http://mc.government.bg/images/NEWS/Djavolski_most_Samuil_Georgiev.jpg) Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyavolski_most_(bridge)) near Ardino (built on top of the ruins of a Roman bridge).
How is the landscape around the Vltava? If I see it correctly on the map, there's always a road along the path you mentioned over the Vltava? It sounds like an interesting place to canoe in any case.mostly there are hills covered by forests, so the road usualy has to follow the river.. but often the road is far enough not to be noticed from the river. (except the part around Ceske Budejovice (where people usualy don't go on canoes) most of the river flows through hilly landscape. The only problem is that quite many people go canoeing there the (from Vyssi Brod to Cesky Krumlov)
This year there was pretty much Dutch people aswell, one family helped me when my canoe have sunk (probably because we drunk bit too much alcohol on the boat :cheers: )
what is it supposed to be?
sinusythis (sp?)
A sickness. A very bloody annoying sickness. Bloody annoying
I'm glad I don't live down there in tropical climate. But anyway, do you get home works after the end of your school year?
any I wonder when you have the end of your school year.
BTW: Palestinians do have some short summer vacation, if I'm not mistaken, I thought that muslim countries have it more-or-less the same.
We do not get home works at the end of the school year. We have them Mid June to Early July (or Late June to Early July/Mid July) more or less. And the Palestinian located northward, we really are in equator (refer to Zimbabwe for details).
We are different from the Arabs, like Americans diverse from the Europeans....
IWM
wow!
afte very long time I noticed that number of active members here have increased (from 104 to 107)
Let's celebrate :cheers:Vacations are almost over (at least here) ;) :cheers:

Indeed, it has become something rare to see that 'many' members on the forum these days. I believe the MiddleEastern mod really raised people's interest again. We're all eager to see how it works out ( I'm sure it will be a pleasent surprize) so keep up the good work.:go:
Indeed. Plus some of the new users are also enthusiastic in making their own mods, which is also pretty good. Now all we need is a dev blog with some pics from KoH2 for Christmas and then the forum will become fully active for at least a month.
