Can we just admit that this is a LOTR mod?
It seems like every match I enter is LOTR vs Mordor or LOTR vs Isengard. As much as I hated seeing all the unique factions from Amber be purged, I'd hate to see the developers waste their time on non-LOTR-based factions if that's all the community is going to play.

You're not entirely wrong.

The most populated server is the LotR only sever.

I mean, there's cool things about other factions in the game, but they're just not played as much as they should be.

I mean, if they at least allowed you to fight something other than Isengard or Mordor, it might be a little better.

And it would be nice if the devs and admins would give at least an Sigmar, Arcane, and maybe Greek or Crusader only servers, then we could get some other factions played more often.

This individual has been banned from the mod all together and hasn't been able to play online for the past 6 months therefore his comment is irrelevant

Now as for the OP comment you have the ability to poll for a change of factions and can do so on every server, now the issue with that is that it is a vote and players have the choice of accepting or declining the poll. Whilst you may feel that LOTR gets played a lot I can assure you that I have witnessed the other factions being used depending on what time of day you log on

Arguably the best most complete faction is LOTR, aka why people play it alot. Its also a iconic genre.

Yeah, you sure know what you're talking about.


And what was said is true. The LotR only server is one of the ONLY somewhat populated servers on the game. So in a way, the game has indeed become mainly a LotR mod.

And trying to say that events as other factions are equal to amount of the LotR server being played just isn't true.

That's why the devs should make at least a Sigmar and Arcane Empire Only server, that way they could actually get more of the factions played more regularly.


And on top of that, I have some really garbage internet right now, so I wouldn't want to get on any of the servers, even if I wanted to, because I'd cause a lot of lag, and I actually consider others than just myself.

The official servers are the most populated from what I've seen.

This is not a LOTR mod and wont be one.

The only reason the LOTR faction has acces to a lot of different troops and heroes is because of the fact that there are plenty of models/textures around that are available to be used (OSP)

The other factions are lacking those because the fact that the devs will have to do it from the ground up, resulting in less troops and heroes for those factions because they simply don't have the time for it as it's just a small team (Two people at the moment)

Full Invasion has been around for over five years and the team used to be over six members. This is not a good excuse.

Well, seeing how the mod has been pretty much completely remade with Osiris, that doesn't really factor into it. Also, not sure anyone needs any 'excuses.'

Well dude, in all my time playing the game, the LotR only server was the most regularly populated server.

So yeah. In a sense, the mod has become a LotR mod.


But me personally.

My biggest issue now is that there are so many repeat weapons for many of the factions, not just LotR.

Though it may be that the LotR classes only have so many weapons for each sub faction that they don't get tons of repeat weapons.

Hey Recent.

That is true. But the LotR only server is the only server I've seen that's regularly populated.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen a few that can get populated, but those are only so often, and usually due to events or just decent timing I guess.

Depending on the time of day, the most populated servers I see are the EU/NA Official servers, and they are overwhelmingly playing LOTR vs Mordor/Isengard

I'll give you that the EU 1 & 2 servers are some of the only other ones I've seen frequently somewhat populated, but it's the LotR Only server that I've seen that seems to always be populated, even if it's just a few people.

But I won't say that that's maybe 100% of the time for the EU or NA servers, but I'm just telling you what I've seen most of the times I've gotten on in the past.

I'm not really sure what point anyone is trying to make here. What would the devs be able to do about people picking certain factions more frequently than others? At this point we are just arguing server population semantics.
