Stick Online's practically dead. The forums get barely any posts, the donor server gets nowhere near 5 players on at a time, and it seems as if everyone just sorta went somewhere else.
Well let's all get readdicted to Stick Online again. It's quite simple. Considering the amount of accounts activated on the donor server, and number of people able to access them, you could easily get a good 20 people playing at once. That's lively enough, surely. That's around the same number of people that were around on SO2 before the desert update. It's a fairly good enough number to at least have some interesting and good company whilst playing.
Of course, say you've basically done everything you could. Level 100, have all the items you've wanted, etc etc. Well go buy up another account! Try a different build! $10 ain't a lot, folks. That's an easy 2 hours of work (at minimum wage practically anywhere (as far as I know) if some of you kiddies were tossed that), or a week of allowance. If you don't have a job or get allowance, then offer to do extra chores for some money. It's not hard to gather a couple of bucks if you did a couple of favors for people. (And I know what most of you are thinking. It's not that. Get your head out of the gutter.)
If you don't feel like aimlessly killing monsters for no gain, then whip up a new account and pump that one up. I, myself, want to get back into Stick Online, because it's a GREAT game to screw around in and have some fun. But there's no fun if there's nobody around (not to mention it's awfully hard to get some decent leveling in if you're stuck soloing everything).
So blow the dust of your SO folder, boot up that old .exe, and start playing again. Let's get some liveliness pumped back into this game.
I fully agree. we should definately have more people playing this.
In fact, Im gonna start right now.
Right on. Unfortunately, I'm gotten so sick of S.O., that I don't even want to open up the folder anymore.

Seriously? I haven't touched it ever since like, 2009, and playing it right now just seems so much more fun. I can understand your reasoning if you played it when only like 2 people were on. That's why I'm trying to respark interest.

Nah, I'm just spoiled with modern MMORPGs. S.O. seems so much more unappealing, and the simplicity factor doesn't really tilt the scales.

Ahhh. Same happened to me, but eventually I've started to get fed up with the combat, since it's not really as, like, "live action" as SO. That's the main force that drove me back.
If someone posts the download link here I might play again a bit, but I'm not gonna bother meiun about it.

Please don't post the download link anyone, as I'd prefer it not be publicly accessible to people who have not donated. I have PM'd you the link Titan.
As for the rest of you guys interested in starting up playing again, you will be happy to know that I have done a number of server upgrades enhancements over the last month or so to the donor server. It still isn't anything nearly as fancy as what it was (and will be again) when the game was public, but still should be plenty sufficient for our current needs.
Also, I'll take this as an opportunity to inform you all that I have been working a bit on a new implementation of the clan system for the current version of the game. I plan to make this new implementation available to you all in the not too distant future (don't ask me about specific dates though, as I do have plenty of other stuff on my plate seeing as my parents are moving and building a new house this summer). As this is more of an added bonus to the current version than anything else, don't expect much in terms of a graphical interface or GUI's for the clan system, but when completed you all should have everything you need to create, join, and manage your own clans.

I don't accept donations via mail, sorry bud. You could try getting a prepaid via card, they sell them at a lot of gas stations or other grocery stores. It basically just works like a credit card that only has a set amount of cash on it then you throw it out.

See that's the kind of thing that makes you awesome. It's also the kind of thing that would get me interested in the game again. Clans was a major community activity. Creating them, gathering members, fighting with other clans. I think it would be great for the resurgence of the donor server.
well the game is ganna still be dead ive been on when im bored and im always the only one on......... People keep getting to lvl 99 or 100 and hate they have to donate for another acc to play and lvl again. thats what im thinking
Then it's as easy as requesting Meiun to drop and recreate your account and you can start over, maybe even transfer over items from your old to your refreshed account.
Props for making this topic, Snakey. I don't know how many people go on the game a day, but I know who are on the forums, and in the past couple months, its been like 13 on at a time, to 5. I havent even taken a glance at my stick online folder in about a year now. (considering I cant play) If I could play, I would be on as often as I could. But the thing is with stick online, you cant really do anything out of the ordinary, because it has already been done, or you just can't do it. Like all the variety the game had a long time ago, is gone... People have tried out all the stat builds, all the monsters have been defeated, everyone knows how to get items, everybody knows everybody, etc... It is very hard to keep people interested without anything new. I'm not saying that Meiun is lazy and wont do things for us, he is probably coding his ass off non stop getting stick online V3 ready for the public so we become interested again. The donor server was just to keep stick online alive as he developes V3, if he never would have put that up, I'm pretty sure nobody would remember how to play the game.

Well Scott's not suggesting a stat reset in the sense that you get to keep your state points and replace them. He's saying that you restart back at level one and all of your statpoints vanish...so you can rebuild your character but you have to train all over again. Honestly that doesn't seem like too bad of an idea to have. Maybe there could be a shop in the game that let's you do such a thing?

Theres a ideas/suggestions forum for that. Also why does there have to be a SO V3 in the first place i don't see whats wrong with SO 2s graphics ect. (If someone has already asked this and it has been responded srry)

Because there are so many things I'd like to change and improve upon about the game (many of which go right down to core features and programming) that it is far easier and more effective to just redo it. The new one is and will be far superior.

Nooooo! Hold it! Objection!
Please, for the love titties, don't do such a wretched thing. As far as I know, although more is always appreciated, money is not a problem. To Meiun and the SO team, this is a hobby, to which their lives take priority over. Inviting horrible communities like Runescape here would only take more time away from their lives to moderate, which is why they closed the server down in the first place, so they actually had time to work on new and improved things for stick online. SO3 will come when it comes, and there's nothing we can do to speed up the process.
i no that lol ok i get that part
but meuin has to buy it with money. :o and so he needs money to do that and so we can help him get money so he can get s03 out faster instead of waiting for him to get the money
Buy WHAT with money?

lol it cost money to uprgaid the version to version 3

To simply upgrade costs nothing in a monetary sense. Rather, it costs effort, ambition, and dedication to get it done. Other assets such as dedicated servers are what hit the developer(s) in the wallet. To try and draw a larger crowd here, especially from a community which is renowned for being immature and underage to the unseen third degree would do nothing but cause a lot of discontent in this already well moderated corner of the world wide web. If I were a developer at this point in development, I would advise... No, I would beg to not have people go to places like runescape and encourage their community to bring their fan-base over here, as it is well known that the biggest downfall to that game is the player-base.

King, perhaps you missed those parts of his post, so I bold-faced them just for you. He's not paying to create the game. As far as I know, he has the programs and knowledge that he needs to advance the new version of Stick Online. Money is not a problem, as Lucifier said. Try to read into a post more carefully.
ok fine. he doesn't need money but don't u want more people on SO?
Depends on what kind of people, as said in many, many debates about things like this.
If they're mature and cool, and can present themselves as neat and refined, yes. But if they're going to whine about Stick Online costing a monetary fee, then no. We don't.
Personally, I'm fine with the amount of people playing. This is a game I enjoy relaxing in, talking to a few people if they're around, but in a very soothing environment. When the server was public, there was constantly drama going on at every single part of the map. This was largely due to the old PvP system, but definitely effected by the amount of players. But that's just me.
There's enough player base in the current community. I'm certain a lot of people here are inactive due to being bored with the game. I know it sounds bad, but I'm positive people feel this way. I may be wrong, but it can't be denied that the gameplay gets stale after a while. And for some of us, it has been a long while.
With that said, Meiun has mentioned he will be implementing some form of a clan system to SO2 in the forseeable future. Along with that I think will be a renewed interest in the current community (myself included). If that is the case, you will start to see a lot more people actively playing the game.
And aside from that, when SO3 comes out, there will be tons of interest. There will be enough word of mouth as well as (I assume) some kind of official advertising by Meiun. I don't doubt that the player base for SO3 will far exceed the height of SO2's success.
Was gonna make a new topic but decided to bump this.
EDIT: Where are yall!?!!?!ffs
I'm just going to say, it was a very good choice to bump this instead of your initial plan.
Igu and I have been very active at the Bandits, and Seifer has been a branchwarmer for the most part.
