There are other factors which played a bigger part than this ancient history (danniii)
Yes but that's certainly the major reason.
Many people quit during the iron-fist reign and the rest quit during the after-math when everyone important seemed to have disappeared.

People need to learn to move forwards instead of backwards !!
That's true, and a very good advice. Unfortunately some took it too well and moved on from the game entirely.


It's a continuous cycle. Get on the forums -> check the online list -> see there's not many people online -> leave. Rinse and repeat a couple days later.
If everyone lurking about would get online and play then that would attract even more people. But that's just impossible.

The incident made most of us take a break from our daily game and gave us a sense of disdain towards it. And it was just enough to make us grow out of it. The only reason to check the forums and the game nowadays is for a sense of nostalgia. But nostalgia is just nostalgia, and you don't get nostalgia over a game you regularly play, so the "come-backs" happen once in a blue moon.
Then again another major role played our age, most of the people that played the game back in the day now have busy lives and no time for a game like this.

This has been debated and re-debated over and over, maybe the incident wasn't the only cause, but it was certainly a big turning point for BC.

Oh so you fixed the ssl errors. I want to personally thank you for that, as I had to use google chrome instead of firefox every time I wanted to open the forums.(I very much dislike google chrome)
As for the events, please do it, even if they're small events, as long as there is something actively going on players will be grateful. There's only a handful of loyal players now and then that still play it, some people that return every few months to play and then go back to hibernation (i.e. me), and even (surprisingly) a couple new players and they deserve to be somewhat rewarded for sticking around after so many years. And who knows, some events now and then might just draw out some people out of the shadows.

Even just having you and Allie posting on the forums, or logging in the game once in a blue moon gives people hope that this half dead game still has a glimmer of hope. To be honest, I hadn't seen you or Allie online in more than a month and I thought for certain that the website would just go offline one day and we'd never hear about it again. I thought you'd forgotten about it, and it became just another failed side project slowly drifting into the void. Now seeing both of you post in this thread, and seeing that you still care about it is just great.

The only fun I've ever had, and ever will in this game is PvP. Most notably holodeck/hoverbyte. Short rounds, easy kills, and every game is somehow different, even after more than 17k games(christ, that's a lot of games). Sectoring is boring as it's the same levels/monsters every time, and once you find the perfect pattern to clear the level asap, that's the only thing you'll do. And I'm probably not the only one to think like this.

As for whats going on in our lives, you guessed it. We all got into highschool/college, we all grew old and bored of this game, and we all grew very tired and busy. The little free time there is left is dedicated mostly to real life. But we're still here, some of us more often than others, but I can bet that the old players still check these forums once every few months, only if it's just to see if their childhood game is dead or not.

Your sig sure brings back certain memories.
Conflicted feelings about those memories.

It's a repetitive game with no updates, the only reason people still played was because of nostalgia, but even that died out after a while.

Whenever there's a "big update" people still come back to try it out, but leave shorty after.
People nowadays go for big games with shiny graphics, so getting brand new players is next to impossible and old players have kind of grown out of this game. No matter how you look at it, a revival is pretty much impossible. The game's just gonna wither and die slowly. Sounds familiar.
