Re: Is It Just Me Or....
I've been here and playing for awhile now, but I simply don't fancy my chances against veterans. It may just be my own lack of confidence but I can't get interested in something where I believe from the outset that I'll be steamrollered by an expert. I also hear that KOTH is 1 on 1 and I personally can't see much fun where its just a case of launching an all out strike as soon as the other person finds you.

My sentiments exactly. It really takes away almost all of the fun of the game when all you do is fight to the death, especially against a single opponent... Maybe others are realizing this?

I doubt it. People are just getting burned out on SEIV. I am down to just 5 games on PBW and 2 of them are pretty much finished. One is my KOTH game and the other is RTH and the Last one is the race to SEV game.

Re: Is It Just Me Or....
I am burnt out myself as well, and I am simply cranking down on my SEIV games. I will quite likely resume challenges once I my game number has been reduced even more though.
Edit: The Fairy Typo struck again. ("I am burnt down"?! What was I thinking of? In case you were concerned for my health, I wasn't put to the torche by an odd raiding barbarian)

Re: Is It Just Me Or....
Yeah, what Ragnorok said.  I know you were only semi-serious Fyron, but you can't extrapolate anything like a qualitative judgement from the lack of people playing in rated 1 on 1 games. There are less people playing >2 rated games as well. I think what we are witnessing is just the normal entropy of the game.
My own personal opinion is that I still enjoy 1 v 1 games more then bigger games. I simply have less interest in any games. The fact that the two games I am in happen to be >2 games is merely due to them being longer and me not wishing to abandon the other players in them.
Once they are over I may actually get into a 1v1 game or two. Just to keep the juices flowing.

Which is why I said I know you were only half serious. Words have a purpose as well.

That was mostly directed at Ragnarok.  And you didn't really need the rest of your post about extrapolation and all...
