Congratulations to everyone at /r/mountandblade for getting our community to 100,000 members!
History & Highlights
This sub was created 10 years ago in June 2009 in a strange world where people waited for Warband instead of Bannerlord. Growth on the sub began slowly, but in mid 2016, the sub realized that memes could be used as a long-term source of fuel. With them, the community powered through several years of unsure waiting until the fateful moment when BannerlordWhen became BannerlordThen. And on 15 Sep 2019, we reached the 100k mark.
Being fans of such a long-running series can be a strange thing: so many aspects of our lives can change -- graduating schools, beginning new occupations, starting families, and pursuing our dreams -- and through it all there's a quirky Turkish game series to keep us entertained. Many of us have spent thousands of hours exploring new mods, grinding out map control, and getting involved with multiplayer communities and servers.
Here's some of our favorite posts throughout the years.
