How much longer does this game have?

Until I'm done with it. *nod*

Where's the funny option? :(

I'm sorry.

Till either Max Barry gets tired of it, or whoever owns it now shuts down the servers.

NS2 is quite slow, and it may take some time for people to migrate over. I give NS about 1-2 more years at least.

I'm sorry.It's alright.
Just don't forget next time. :)

I believe NationStates has a long way to go yet before we start considering it "done."

The fork doesn't come out clean, after all.

Is it even out of Beta yet?

I'll be here for as long as those I like are.

Eleventy!!!!

Is it even out of Beta yet?

Nope, it's not even in Open Beta.

NS is immortal!!!:eek:

Twenty seven years, one year prior till our robot overlords take over, using NS as a staging ground to invade real nations.

Is it even out of Beta yet?

Like it was pointed out, it's not even open beta. I'd consider it alpha at this point. Besides, the forums won't die even if NS becomes a little less popular.

NS2 is quite crappy (yes, I'm in the beta) compared to NS1. Lots of features, but if you're going to RP, not for you. And if you aren't, you probably aren't on these forums anyway. People won't migrate.

Really? Because I know I don't roleplay here.

You know, when I read the thread title, I thought for sure the topic would be centered around "how long before the government of shuts NS down for dissent and sedition." That would have been a hilarious read, and I wouldn't have put it past the people here to make a conversation about it.

And I say that with love, of course. ^^;

Explains why I don't know you.

I am sorry, my fine NS mods, but I must warn you that if I remember I will gravedig this thread in 9 years and a day. Please don't shoot me? :(

It's the first option.

NS2 is also awful. I fully expect NS to remain more popular.

Indeed, it's an alpha now - war, which is supposed to be one of the biggest features hasn't even been enabled yet. However, the developers are claiming it'll be open before the US elections. (Note: that gives 'em less than a week to test war.)

Indeed. I really don't think the developers "got" NS. So far the only real feature that's been seen is the economic engine, and I don't particularly care for it. OTOH, they've done away with or broken many of the good points of NS: no WA/UN, regions replaced by continents + alliances. I agree that people won't migrate. Considering OMAC, however, when they realise NS2 isn't as popular, they may try and force people over by closing NS.

The question is will we have the same Mods in 9 years time?

NSG has a game based on it now?:tongue:

NSG has a game based on it now?:tongue:

I see a platform-based game, each level being a particular debate, final stage of each debate being a battle against the perceived owner of those debates, and the various weapons they use.

So TCT might own equal rights, with his Weapons of Mass Citation
Bottle might own evolution,
Jocabia politics.

There's trolls to avoid, the Wrath of the Mods, godwins hurled and more, you start at n00b level and make your way up,

Of course the final stage would be a massive pie fight with LG.

If I had the time...

I don't roleplay. Loads of people on NSG don't.

*checks use-by date*

How much longer does this game have?

As long as the Ring endures.

*also checks*

Yeah, throw it out lads, it's been rotten for years.

Ah, mon ami, you refer, no doubt, to noble rot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_rot), which sweetens, concentrates and intensifies the vintage.

Uh, yeah. OK. That's what I meant.

I can see this game going on for many years. Membership levels and quality in the posts may shift and change with time, but the game will continue.

A lot of the NSG regulars don't roleplay

I think we gots awhile to go.

I think many of the Generalites will be here a long time. :)

Amen!!:D

Probably. RPers tend to come and go more quickly, if I'm not mistaken, but it has always seemed NSG was more sedentary.

Wanna bet *gets out chainsaw and waits in anticipation of the day she has to wait 5minutes for a post*

I'll be honest, I like NS2 more.

What am I?

I'm in the beta.
It's somewhat different from NSG.
Plus, the NATO alliance is ridiculously huge. :p

What am I?

You're the helpful hints character, happy now?

Probably. RPers tend to come and go more quickly, if I'm not mistaken, but it has always seemed NSG was more sedentary.

*Looks up*

No, not really, n00b. I'm an RPer

I'm here but I don't RP.

I don't see any expiration date on NS. :p

My 2 scents:

NS2 isn't ready for primetime yet. It still has errors, the server's unreliable, and major features *cough*war*uncough* aren't even enabled. I do think it will be ready by the NEXT presidential election. :p

It's also not NS1. It has features that NS1 lacks, and I think it has potential. But there are also things that are better in NS1, and I'm sure a lot of people, including hard-core RPers, that will stick with NS1. And I still plan to play both games. :)

Well the site Nationstates has been down for awhile now, and the banner up the top of the forum has gone. Does this mean they have already taken away the site?

The banner's still up for me. The site's still down. :(

i'd rollplay, i just find war and sports equally boring, and nobody seems to want to rollplay anything else.

Dude, Romandeos has been around for a long time. He knows what he's talking about.

Probably as long as a few more years maybe 3-6?
That is as long as the world doesn't implode within those years.

Make sure you're looking for www.nationstates2.com instead of www.nationstates2.net. Net's been down forever; com's up and running.

Meh, he's newer than me, lol.
