Terrarian
*Terraria announces that there will be a huge 1.3 update sometime soonish*
"DIS GAEM B DED! I CANNNNT FND ENY SRVRS! AND TEH FORUMZ ARE INATIVE!"
...
Really?
Firstly, I have been able to find 4-5 sites with hundreds of servers listed each with only 2 minutes of searching, so let me ask you, how exactly are you trying to find servers?
Secondly, with a game like terraria just because there are no servers doesn't mean that the game is dead, plenty of people play by themselves or on non-public servers.
Thirdly, TO is definitly dead, I can understand why you say that, but that's because it's just worse than this site and infested with spambots, however, TCF has just about as much activity as TO had before TCF existed, so the game isn't dying or dead because the activity on the forums is about the same.
Fourthly, if the game is still updating then you can't call it a dead game.
So, is terraria dead? No. Clear as day that it is not dead.
Sorry if I sounded mean in this post but really, think before you post.
Did you even check those lists? not only i thought about it way more than you, i also did my researches.
In those lists, the active servers (with active meaning at least peaks of...4 players per day) are like...35.
Yes, i counted them.
You can easily check them by yourself, only the first two pages have somewhat active servers, the rest is just dead servers.
Hence, dead multiplayer (since noone can actually know what the situation is on hamachi/private servers)
Also, i invite you to check the situation on youtube.
How many active terraria channels do we have? answer yourself, i'm not counting them for you.
You might consider the forums "UB3R ACTIV3 OMG (done that right?)" but i do not, pretty much all the talking about terraria happens in these forums + reddit and, frankly, it's definitely not what i would call an active community.
Not sure how people will react once 1.3 is out though.
Just wanted to express my feelings about the whole situation, but it seems like someone (not you) took it like some sort of attack against the community.
Now, since it's clear that i already thought way too much about it, am i entitled to have my opinion or what? to you the game might be active and everything, but from what I have experienced, i didn't get this impression at all.
