1. I don't have the same squad of mole friends than I used to. Any victory feels like a victory on a desert.
2. Spending most of my time with 1 person

Wow, sensei and kradie, get a grip. 

The community HAS changed, it isn't the same.  I don't even know why you are posting on the comparative changes when you weren't even playing during that era.  It sounds like you guys have an inferiority complex more than anything.  When I hosted warmers in 2000, my hosts would overflow with people.  Ropers were hard to get into as a noob, there was so many people.  The english speaking countries were heavily engaged, with too many active players to get anywhere near knowing everyone.

Now hardly any randoms speak english or play anything other than mole shopper.  Competitive play is nerfed.  Clanner activity isn't diverse, you are playing samee people/clans over and over.  The one good thing about the community is everyone knows everyone I guess, but it isn't diverse.  There used to be 100+ worms websites, now there is 10?  Maybe?

The community isn't the same just because you guys say it is.

In fact I only play because of a few people, oldsock, saltyk9, gabriel, sensei, peja.  If these people weren't playing, I would quit.

Just said some of these "golden era of wa" stories starting to repeat themselves. Which really is a fact. I've seen it in 100+ threads already.

After that anubis said I've assaulted him, darkz called me newfag and walrus talking about inferiority complex?


Hahah. At least it's always amusing on tus if wnet is dying.

I'll repeat my question: what are you old schoolers doing on this board? You dont even play worms and yet you still spend time here spitting hatred against the "new generation". Im curious because I dont get it.

I stopped playing actively for the fairly common reasons:

Went to uni
Got a Job

I never came back to active play for the same reasons already mentioned, by the time I found the time too play, those I enjoyed playing with had also stopped playing and I no longer had the time available to start from scratch.

As for why do we even bother coming to places like this? Personally, and I know many of the others are the same, I got involved in the development side of the game instead both with updates and wormkit modules / tools. You don't have to be an active player to be involved in the game.

We know this. Old school people has to adapt this generation or stop reminiscing everyday about a time that is over.

As with any other games, people play because of the network they build. When their network shrinks, the reason to stay is less relevant.
And of course there's ''Life'' obligation that takes over.

Speaking of inferiority complex, I detect superiority complex.

After that anubis said I've assaulted him, darkz called me newfag and walrus talking about inferiority complex?


Hahah. At least it's always amusing on tus if wnet is dying.

You assaulted us like we did something wrong or are saying not the truth. Again, please read the very first entry. It's nino, directly asking me why I stopped. Then you guys jump in and claim no it's not the reasons, like what the hell?

Then again, topics on tus are known to go way off topic. Besides, Mr Nino could had easily pm'ed you.

Or, alternatively you guys could not bother spewing your non-sense into a topic you have no idea about. Nino asked all oldies, and mentioned me and darkz as an example. Now if you don't mind, I will ignore your posts and we can move on, shall we?

Maybe he wants to know more opinions from other retired wormers. Can't they give their opinion without being judged?

I always wanted to quit this game forever but I have some bounderies here and there. I don't enjoy this game as I used to and it's boring to play the same people time after time. New generations aren't competitive -except Sbaffo- and I don't see myself playing Shoppa, Mole, Tower Race and so on, I'd rather take a nap.

A lot of the material submitted by various users on these boards are nonsense.

I simply evoked a discussion and conveyed from there. Unfortunately, the content result was overwhelmingly offending leading to hostile behavior.

@lalo: My condescending remark in regards to Mr Anubis was no insult, it was simply an observation to his first post. Unfortunately, Mr DarkZ took the liberty to insult me. Of course I was not offended.

Yes, go ahead, share, share to your heart's content.

yeah, oldschool posts about the past isn't new to tus, what's new is newcomers now being rude to oldies.

there was so much talk about past because people actually enjoyed to read it, everybody wanted to feel themselve oldschool and tried to figure out how the things went back in the old days.  now its simillar to late W:WP, join ag and hope for a random play, no more players or clans considered to be "cool"

tus is the last reason community didnt fell apart yet, and yet you want tus to fall apart, its funny because everyone iis in the very same boat
ye sthis post sucks f@#! me
