Ork Buster servers
« on: October 01, 2016, 09:36:27 AM »
Hi again,

news so far are as follows:

  • After sending a ticked to OB support, they told me that all OB servers where going to be shutdown (answer said all, not just AG servers).
  • A few days after shutdown was announced, Lara used her FB account to create a new character. She's been playing so far, and there's no notice in that server of any shutdown, so far (FB server are different from AG servers).
  • Yesterday talked to Lan, told me many elite guild players are playing with new accounts on Server #4, main OB site (different from FB servers?). He mentioned LaRatta, Maka, Sango, maybe many others. Again, there's no notice nor news about that server shutting down, either.

Anyone who has more information about OB servers, please share it in this thread :)

Hi,

I started to play server 4. There is no announcement about the shutting down, but we will see.
I play as "Isabel" also in server 4:). If anyone knows good guilds in server 4, let me know:)

Hi Isabel!

I've also started a new character in OB Server 4. Name is RatDaq, guild Noldor.

About the server (to all of you):
  • Has some decent activity.
  • Max level players around 65.
  • Noldor is the only big guild, takes all territories so far ;)
  • However, duels are between all 4 servers.
  • Also Mystery Continent is running here. And other event too (think it's seven-day battle).
Must say, it was fun to redo first levels, with foul equipment ;D
but a bit easy... 8)

Also, guild is not far from upgrading lvl9, so will be free room soon.

cya soon!

Hi:)

Noldor seems to be full, so I have to find some other guild. Much faster to play as a member of guild, but it is a bit problem that one guild is too strong.
Nice to play rom the beginning again anyway:)

Hi Isabel,

Maybe in a later stage we can form our own guild?

It's true it's more fun with more than 1 strong guild. Even 2 or 3 like months ago in AG server.

As Lara said, when we get stronger (and maybe more players from AG join?), and server has more active players, we could think of starting a new guild 8)

Anyway, Isabel, i see new players joinin this guild, on a daily basis. They must be kicking afk players.
And also, soon guild will be ready to upgrade to level 9, so there will be free room. My guess is 1 or 2 weeks.

Hey Etheron,

It would be appreciated if you could come to OB at AG. You are the leader! You said that you would be there daily until shutdown.

Wowow!
Only been away a bit more than 1 day ;)

Will go on with both servers.

AG1 till it closes
OB4, it's working really bad last days. Gameplay get's stuck every 3-5min., which means loosing the dungeon run you're in. However, still will wait and see if gets fixed.

As far as i know, Ratta talked to our comunity manager (!? :o) or support guy, and was told OB servers (main site www.orkbuster.com -> go server 4) will go on, won't shut down.

cya!

Hi all :)

First post here, and i'm really happy that we have this forum so we all can stay in contact!

I wanted to say, i really enjoyed being in Templar with all of you, we did a good job holding ground against Elite, and already had some nice and really funny chats :D. Too bad the game lacked of good ways to communicate. I can only repeat what i said in game already, it was really cool up to the point when it was just grinding for weeks to proceed any further. At some point i even had no fun anymore in playing it at all, rather than just doing the daily stuff and so on, collecting stuff for next event or generally for later use.

When i login now, i don't even feel motivated anymore to click on any icon, partly because i got bored of it and partly because i know it makes no sense anyway because the game will shutdown in like 10 days. That said, i will not come online daily anymore. I will stick around here though and keep reading from time to time. Maybe one day we find something cool as replacement. In the meanwhile i realized how much time i've spent on this game in the past... being logged in for like 8-10 hours, clicking stuff etc. I must say, i enjoy not playing anything at all for now. Started reading a lot, mostly news articles and comment sections.

Btw, on Kongregate someone told me that Proficient City already did this with many games under a different company name, buying games, hosting them for a year or so until profit isn't increasing anymore, then taking them offline and rinse/repeat somewhere else. Seems to be profitable enough to keep going. Dunno if this is true but i wouldn't be too surprised if it was. ;D And sth funny: You know that story when i wrote to support, asking stuff about the game, why they take it down, telling them that i'm sad about it and enjoyed it and that even support team was doing a good job. They replied to me ingame with a gift (this jungle thingy spirit stone), and that they will start a new game soon: SNACKS MANAGER. Lol, nice gift and really a nice gesture! But really, snacks manager? Lol ok... i am not convinced yet :DD

Oh, and for now i don't feel like starting this game again on any server. Maybe at a later point... dunno yet (insert orkbuster smiley).

Cheers!  8)

P.S: Would be nice if we got saskec to stop by here and register too. Maybe i shoot him an email and ask him. He's a fun guy to hang around with, guess he just got mega-bored and burnt out too. :D

OMG Mandy, now that i've honored you Templar Leader :o... well, guess there's not much guild stuff to do atm, anyway ;D

Saskec is playing daily in server OB4... chracter name is "saso".

Yes, Mystery Continent is open again on both servers.

Snacks Manager? ROFL

And about game, gameplay changes to heavy farming game after Qurana City/Chasing the Light. That's where many people leave game, and were I had to choose... leave or go on.

As you can see my decision was to go on, not for game itself, since there are a lot of similar games around, but to keep in touch with you, and people there. And that's the same reason why i'm playing in the OB4 server. It's hard to start, but gets better after getting to know people playing there. Yet not as fun as it was AG1 months ago, but better than nothing for me.

Haven't said it so far, but no doubt i've also enjoyed being Templar with you. And look forward to find a new game were we can team up again, and fight evil forces again ;D 8). Somewhere in the future, anytime :)

Take care, cya!

Yes it would be nice if we could find a good common game to play :) Good to hear that Saskec is on OB server4. Say hello from me if you will Ratdaq.
