I was one of the last ~50 active players on War of the Roses when they shut down the backend. I had a bit over 1000 hours almost entirely in 1v1 dueling servers. Everyone knew everyone else. Tons of tribal knowledge about weird mechanics and glitches, blood feuds, and just generally interesting emergent gameplay within this tiny little niche. Since they shut it down I've been through college, grad school, a couple jobs, moved across the country, etc. and I still miss it. I really wish we'd been given this consideration.
Oh man, what are the odds, I don’t play the game, but came across This, 3 weeks ago someone got it working again it seems.
WHAT

edit edit: literally today a bunch of old players started gathering in a discord to revive the community
There’s a Reddit post too on the game subreddit about some people getting something going on the weekends.
Cheers mate.
I haven't been able to get it to run, but I'll figure it out. Thanks very much.
Wholesome thread of the day, thanks all! As an anonymous internet stranger, In hire it works out!
Hop in that discord and ask someone for advice on setting it up! A similar thing happened to a game dear to me, and I was struggling with the setup to play on privately hosted servers.
I hopped in the Discord, and three people were eager to help me. They just want to build their communities back up :P
I got it working, it just doesn't work in WINE or a VM for some reason. There's like 250 people in here now and a single server with 40 people playing
Unfortunately it looks like the people spearheading the reunion are turbo racist anti-LGBT dickheads, which checks out from memory, but it was a nice idea.
Unfortunate...
private servers on cs 1.6 felt very similar to me.
except it still isnt completely dead because people can actually self host.
