Freaking awesome game, I have been binging like a fiend since I purchased this. Played on one server, 222 player count, allegedly the biggest "siege" server around. I had so much fun, but, the fun would be multiplied by hundreds if it was a Cain server.

Seriously, we could have LOTS of fun with this game. People make some fun custom maps, a lot of Lord of the Rings castles end up as maps, and they are awesome.

This video is just a field battle, not a castle siege, and there are servers with nearly twice as many players(222 i think was largest ive seen)

Well that looks like a lot of fun, I agree.

Lol, that looks like it could be a blast. If you die do you you have to wait for battle end to play again? And do you level up or anything (ie., that one guy could maybe rank up and earn a shirt :D).

I have only been playing one server, so I can really only speak for the settings they use, but:
You have to wait when you die, I havent noticed if it is wave based or not, but, it usually ends up around 30-40 seconds. Very necessary, otherwise, the game would me much more difficult to win with a constant flood of new troops.
I am pretty sure you do rank up and unlock better things, idk if they are only cosmetic. The server I play does not have rank enabled, but, you start with an amount of gold and earn more for kills n such, and can buy better versions of your standard weapons. Better/larger quivers of arrows/bolts, stronger shields and armor, better weapons.

It would be fun, but it isn't mainstream.. The amount of people that would be playing would be minimal.

A packed 222 player server isnt really minimal. CLR minimal maybe, but, if Cain were to put up a server, as with any game, they will come.
