absence of updates......absence of players

this new update .05 or whatever............has seemed to have vanished into dust........along with the players of the mod...........
my question is are the devs still trying to update it or is that the last update and were done.....the mod itself seems dead yes one or two servers are always up but I mean come on I remember the good old days where HALF of the servers were Eastern Front I see ALL these new faces everywhere on the forum WHERE ARE YOU IN THE GAME we need to play Eastern Front gentlemen or it will die....it will die a horrible death of starvation....A starvation caused by the lack of players of the game itself one update is all it takes for a mod to become alive once more....something so when you tell someone "hey did you get the update" they say
"oh for that buged to hell game Eastern Front"
you can say something like its changed......get people to play the bloody thing and it will live!! People lets do this I want this damn thing to live as much as the rest of you lot but we need to play!
get on the game and play people and an update will inspire the people to

nonononono you don't get the point you need to play now to respect the update and for people to know that there is a mod; most do but they think its unfair I hope with the update it will be fair so tell them that!

I agree on the topic... I stopped playing EF after my comp died a day or so after 1.04, and was waiting for an update up until now... This is my first post since-- a long time.
PS: I haven't seen Loupblanc on for a while... did his computer blow up?

honestly, this guy is too right.
But i guess the mod team knows about that already. I think
we just need some news from the team and the mod, it doesnt
has to be a patch.
Just some news maybe some pictures of reward units or pictures of the upcoming ostheer.
This forum is dying atm.

Patience people.
I'd prefer a delayed 1.05 to iron out ALL issues than rush it and need another patch.
I'm sure the developers aren't going to bury and forget this mod!

I think I read over on Moddb that the guy in charge of the updater had dissapeared somewhere and they needed him back to release 1.05
So perhaps they're just working on new stuff whilst waiting for someone to come along and fix the launcher up etc.
Thats what I like to think anyway

Its fair to say that the majority of people dislike the lack 'no retreat ' function which also makes the faction less than 'new user' friendly.
Coupled with the no re-crewing,no true vet,inability to use prop war and lack of ranking online it seems to have discouraged the majority of people from online play. As such your best bet is to get to know people in the forums and pre-arrange games. Everyone else plays single player comp stomp.
'When' the patch is released it will only address unit balance issues and teching, but none of the above.
Although I'm sure it will somewhat re-ignite online play for a brief time, those who wanted the above things amended will still not get it ,so I wouldn't expect online gaming to be on any decent levels and certainly no where near what it was in the first 2 weeks (the good old days).

it's a viable product anyway. (word of honour of QA, heh)
The only bug that is really annoying is freezing production queue when armory upgrade is completed. like when you're busy with your frontlines and sure that 3 upgraded ingenery units are ready to be deployed near the HQ building when you need them - then you move camera there, oops, no one...
so...Blizzard's "done when done" should work perfectly here)
waiting for the Ostheer.

Aye, sadly it seems people who play CoH for a better rank and all that stuff didn't take to the lack of it in EF.
I still think its one of the bestt mods I've ever played and just enjoy the single player, with much better AI
as I could never find a way to make my skinpacks and custom reward units work for online.
Looking forward to future updates anyhow
