Is RCT Out?

I've noticed that this forum has been really quiet lately. And Time Twisters was obviosly not a big success. I still like/play the game. But Does anyone think that this game is Basically Dead?

No, it's not dead. It's just that all the stupid 12 year old AOLers that frequented the CBuzz games site aren't around here to whore their latest files anymore.

what michael said.

Everyone hated Wacky Worlds too, but people kept posting. There are much fewer of us active members now, but many people have moved to other sites, put off by the membership cost and Jeff's lukewarm feelings towards the games section as most recently evidenced by the long construction delay. There also seems to be as many people downloading rides as ever, if not more of them, so I don't think the CBuzz games site will die unless Jeff cuts it out.

As for other sites, there are several that are quite enthusiastic aboutt he game and show no signs of slowing down soon.

The answer to your question is... no.

There's tons of peeps at those sites. It's. Not. Dead.

Also, this AmazingEarl dude will make you have to get a change of underwear after you check out what he's been doing for the community.

And lastly, ya can't credit RCT2's fan base going strong without ToonTowner's scenery, for, without them, the community would be like, 10x smaller.

So once again, the RCT Community is not dead. You just gotta look around for where all the action is at (so... not here, no offense).

Wacky Worlds destroyed alot of people's faith in the game. The new rides were weak rethemes of what we already had and in many cases were just plain dumb(Sloth coaster,ostrich coaster,fabrge eggs,ect..)

There was a ton of new scenery but you couldn't use most of it with out hitting the scenry limits quick. If you chose to select your scenery thru the advanced mode you wouldn't get far down the list before you had maxxed.

Time Twister is worlds better but is still the same idea as wacky worlds. Rides make more sense this time in many cases(dino ride,hippie van,posieden ride) and many of the scenery items are better. You still have that pesky scenery limitation though and you make it a lot less far down the list this time.

Coasterbuzz games becoming a pay site didn't help Rct on this site either. My big reason for not joining was Jeff saying he didn't care if the site died. Great attitude. It's a club benefit. It's kinda like saying he doesn't care if you can't get your track record,you get pop ups,or if the club doesn't have a Cbuzz con this year.

What the hell are you talking about? At what point did I become obligated to give you anything?

Get over yourself.

I believe it was at the point you started charging for your service. You owe me nothing because I don't pay. The ones that do deserve what they pay for.

And we get it. The site stays up.

OK, so you're complaining about something you don't even pay for. That makes perfect sense.

Furthermore, I charge for the site because it was a pointless mess of crap generated by every 13-year old kid who had an AOL connection. Since the change to requiring club membership I'd say perhaps three people total signed-up for that purpose. If I decide to kill it I'll decide to kill it, and life will most certainly continue.

AS much as we love the whole pay complaint topic it's been done to death and I think the games section is better than ever.

....obviously because i'm on there more often than anyone else, but thats not the point :)

I'd also like to add that the quality of rides has sky rocketed.

Also, I no longer have to deal with helping out illiterate morons with no knowledge of the game they're playing.

I was doubtful at first, but now I KNOW Jeff made the correct decision.

And John, we get more than what we paid for. For around a nickle a day, we get more intelligent members, higher quality rides, more downloads, and a nice, peaceful place to go to after dealing with the troubles of a real life. To me, discussion boards are just a place to chill. After taking test after test, I just wanna come home and go to a nice little quiet place. Before the change, the games were NOT peaceful. Hell, I could almost hear Haw screaming "OMAR IS A GONCH LICKER!!1!1!11!!1". I like it better now. Plus, there's less rides to sort through, so I can check them all out.

Quit trying to stick up for us, John. Espicially since the best thing you can do for us is just shut up. I pay my *gasp!* nickle a day, and I got more then enough privlages to make up for it.

Just think about it man. ONE freakin nickle a day. Don't like it? Get a job, a life, or just shut up.

As far as the General public's eyes , the game is dead.

The community , of course , is the only thing keeping this game alive. The new(user created) rides , although extremely challenging and few , are usually amazing.Amazing Earl and buggy are really the only people you can rely on to make great rides always.

What everybody wants , of course , is for Freakin' Atari to give us the Hard Codes so we can create anything.
