Oh I'm not jealous, believe me. The less Xavprints one has on one's body, the better.

If we hosted no games and the website was taken down there would still be people around here claiming their resident clan was still alive. Lol

The clans would be alive; their home, however, would not be alive.

Thank you for proving my point.

I believe a lot of clans, moreso than they are simply dying, are in need of a refocusing on what they play. Nearly every clan here was either a CSS, BF2, or a BF2142 clan - all of which were killed by newer, and in some ways, inferior games. I still see alot of the big TPGers online on steam most nights...They are just in different games like DayZ, DOTA2, Minecraft, FF14, and everything in between.

BF4 is definitely a hit at TPG and a lot of classic TPG players are back in action - but the game is ludicrously expensive for everything, computationally demanding, and not as inclusive as BF2/2142 were. All of these could potentially be barriers of entry for some people

If only there was a game that could muster the whole of TPG like in the good ol days. When people are excited about playing the same game day in and day out, it's easy to build clans back up with the way we play.

Salty get in the SsT forums and rally the troops. We need a clan night!

Expensive is an issue as there's nothing we can do about that. But the price will come down I'm sure.

Computationally demanding though... BF2 was the BF4 of it's day. 2142 was a BEAST for needing horsepower if I remember correctly. Eventually hardware caught up with it and I think that was why it held on so long. There wasn't another iteration of the game (like they did with 3 to 4) and people that wanted to play it eventually upgraded their machines and found the game when even medium horsepower hardware would run it. The same will happen with BF4. I run it at 2560x1440 with things mostly on the highest settings with a GTX680 and a 3930K. That CPU came out in november of 2011. And the gpu came out in June of 2012. Thats a minimum of 2 year old hardware. And it runs great. It won't be long and lower end systems will be able to run it well and we'll start seeing more people pick it up.

Is there still a 100 person friends list limit?

In Origin, yes. 100 friend limit.

I suppose you're right kanati, bf2 also had a really long lifespan too, I'm sure the state of the average computer from it's launch to when bf3 killed it are drastically different.
