I have been in multiple online communities. There was Jedi Knight, Rainbow Six, Rouge Spear, Counter-Strike, Mechwarrior 3. This was when those games were in thier prime. Out of all of them, the strongest community would have to be myth. Rainbow Six is pretty much dead, the only poeple left are all hackers. Rouge Spear can relate. Jedi Knight died around 2002, it was made in 1997. Mechwarrior 3 was proceeded by Mechwarrior 4 and other expansions, thus forgotten. Counter-Strike is still thriving, but with Counter-Strike source and the push to 100% 1.6 and Steam based servers, it lost a lot of it's community. Myth, however, is still thriving, still older players coming back, still new players swinging around the corner, still editors creating and fooling around with the system, still tournaments being played. Myth is still living, not because of the game, but because of the community.
The community is stronger then they like to believe.

Myth can't die totally. That was part of my message. It has helped shape a lot of people. Together we'll keep Myth alive, whatever games we're playing so long as we're together. dwarf doesn't play Myth anymore, or talk to a lot of ex-players, but I regard him as much of a Myther as anyone else.

u played myth when dwarf and Acheron still played? I thought they quit before you showed up.
I joined Janruary 2004. MWC04 was May - August 04 roughly. I talk to dwarf at least once a week, via MSN. Acheron I've only chatted to on IM once or twice tho. I had most of BME's MSN addies ages ago, Magne gave put me in a convorsation with his 'myth legends posse' but Mag, Ach and D are the only ones I've got now.
Myth's reaching a point where not many people are gonna leave voluntarilly. but Real Life can ruin things for a lot of people. I'll have the game for 3 more years at least, not sure about how I'll fare in Univesity tho.
