What are some of the smallest online video game communities? Or, what are some online games whose servers are surprisingly still up?
The PC demo for Halo CE
Still at least 50 people playing forever on Blood Gulch.
I know every night it seems one server on bf2 gets atleast 10-15 players
Battleborn
Overwatch

there was this isometric 3rd multiplayer shooting game. You gained xp for doing things and could capture buildings and they would give bonus xp but others could come ind and kill you and take it over.
It was PvE and full pvp and friendly fire all at the same time, could work with someone to cap a building and then betray them and steal their gear. Friend got me into it, it was insanely nuanced and I felt like I just scratched the surface of understanding it because friend guided me.
Anyways, you'd see the same people pretty often.
That game or ss13 are my two top votes in games that are inexplicably alive with a small community.
Www.politicsandwar.com
Browser game tho
Don't know if it's still up but I played a few games online of Red Faction a few years ago and there were a couple full servers.
People are still playing MGO (both MGS3's and MGS4's) using hacked consoles (soon to not be necessary, and you can play MGS3's online using an emulator).

Ring Runner averages probably like, 0.05 people on multiplayer, but it still pays to host multiplayer.
I'm pretty sure there will be people playing this forever.
>>376979756
space marine still has like 30 people who regularly play
I used to play a fuck ton of online risk in the 8th grade.
Also theres an online yu gi oh simulator (yes i know its gay) where you can build any deck
I play with friends from my home town every semester and come home to play with cards
there is an online version of Fallout 2 called Fallout online or f022 or something.
SA-MP(san andreas multiplayer) still has thousands of players, and that game is like 10 years old
Pretty much any MUD older than 10 years old.
>>376979756
SS13?
MoH 2010
The Advance Wars community is so small that only a reddit, a discord, and two dead forums are left.
>>376984204
People still play SAMP?
Holy fuck
>>376984923
yeah, mostly people from 3rd world countries though.]
but i know of an american SAMP server that has been around since 2007 and still gets 400 players online at the same time on a daily basis
>>376979756
The fact this game is still around, with the same people is amazingly interesting.
Good for spooks too.
Stunts, a racing game from the DOS days still has at least one site that hosts regular tournaments with custom tracks.
GunZ the Duel
One of the greatest action games of all time, still on life support on private servers. FreestyleGunz pulls a couple hundred people most hours of the day. I hope it never dies.
>>376979756
its amazing seeing this game still alive despite dev's trying to kill it with every broken moebots being added every patchrip cosmic leage
does this kind of stuff make anyone else feel kind of happy though? After most of the game communities I was a part of growing up fell apart there are still small groups that play these games. It's kind of heartwarming.
>>376986518
I miss the open beta days with the /a/, /v/, /jp/, and /m/ wars
>>376979756
Kick off 2 for the Amiga
I was surprised to see they had leagues and stuff for it, and that they were active recently
I wonder if there's some game community out there that's decayed into just a handful of diehard super-gregors who just duel all day and would obliterate any newcomers

cpma

Does Crazy Bob's still exist?
A game my dad plays called Heliborne
>>376987247

Tribes Acend has two servers bu they are pretty consistently full. So, 30-60 players
>>376979756

>all these games still alive
>cant even find contact for license holder of this game so I can just BUY IT and run it myself.
While it's not amazing, there was a Git Gud to this game I really enjoyed

>what are some online games whose servers are surprisingly still up
Theres this fucking MMO called Ace Online. It's gone through three name changes, and I think I remember playing it back in 04 or 05, and it's STILL going. I'm fucking shocked.

do me and my girlfriend count as a 2 person video game community? thats pretty much as small as a vidya community can be.
>>376990973
OH RIGHT!!!! It WAS called that! Fuck I was even looking online for that name
>>376987247
quite a few out there I think. blade symphony, jedi knight, a few arena games probably.
I heard war of the roses was pretty shit before it shut down completely
>>376979756
W:ET
Halo CE
Any anime fighter
DayZ mod. Honestly, I'm amazed that anyone bothers to keep servers up anymore. Almost all are completely empty and the few that still see users (Europa and US 434) might see 10 players on a Saturday. It's a shame, I love the mod, but it's the most boring game ever made when playing on dead servers.
>>376979965
There are people who don't know you can play CE for free? and don't need to suffer the demo lol
>>376992902
I wouldn't ever play Halo CE even for free
>>376992993
Thanks for the info I'll make sure to put it in my notes.
>>376991019
what game?
Crysis wars is still alive, multiplayer part of Crysis 1/warhead
So much better than the cod copy paste multiplayer of Crysis 2/3
>>376987247
def jam icon, me and 6-10 other players just fought each other over the top spot on the leader boards for at least 4 months
>>376993183
Make sure to file it under "gay shit that defines my hollow and empty life also halo"
