Helleu! I'm part of the team that revived the cRPG mod for Warband, here to answer your questions and give you some updates!

Here's the link to my previous post on the matter!

[H]ello, I'm Uther and I'm part of the current development team that has been working on cRPG for the last couple of months. I'll spare you the history and the bland bits, instead providing some amazing stats.

During the last 12 weeks:

We've finally seen an account sign-up spike

We've also noticed an absurd rise in simultaneously active accounts

And finally, a grand increase in total number of recently active accounts up to almost a whopping 1200!

Why the sudden spike in activity? Because we have finally become able to patch the game and issue actual bug fixes and new content (new items, reworked level ranges), which brought in mostly old players but also some new faces. The biggest change so far has been called the Patch of Undestiny, meant to revert some changes which were generally disliked by the community. Highlights of it include lowering the retirement level to 31 (from 35), lowering the maximum attainable level to 34 (from 38 or who the fuck knows what it was), and new items. Read more in the linked moddb article!

Finally, we've also managed to fix Strategus - people can one again command their armies, battle in great field engagements, siege fiefs and raid villages. Strategus, rightfully considered the most distinguishing feature of cRPG, works.

If you'd like to read more about basics of cRPG, Strategus (our online campaign mode which features a map of Calradia full of fiefs ripe for your taking), head over to the FAQ thread on the forums - it is being updated.^sometimes

The banners are working again, you can now safely buy (with in-game gold ofc) a bannerslot and install your very own banner for your clan.

This wouldn't have been made possible without the support of our playerbase, occasional newcomer that came by while the mod was still in repair and stayed, finally not without the donators to our Patreon (which can be found via a thread on forums, if you'd ever be interested in helping us) which helped us sustain servers in both NA and EU - previously paid by their owners, bless their sacrifice to this point.

Least but not last, I want to thank you, the regular players, who made this insane effort worth it. Today, we've noted 113 (and later more) players on ONE server at the same time - sight unseen since years for us in cRPG. Just few weeks ago we celebrated having 40 players in one server. This revival has finally become true and it was so hard for the entire team to believe I think I'll speak on their behalf when I say it was a moving moment to see population break the 100-player threshold today.

As always, I invite anyone interested in cRPG to join our official discord here and download the game launcher from here.

EDIT: Some pics of recent things: Strategus battle - enemy camp and their team

Regular battle - our team moving towards the enemy somewhere in the town

Regular battle - when admins got a little too happy and changed the map to a closed tavern space with over 100 players Another pic of the Tavern Brawl

And again, just like half year ago - if you have any questions, suggestions or observations, ask - maybe we have touched upon those subjects but I simply forgot to outline them in my post!
