Orbz On Way Out
by Deborah Braswell · in General Game Discussion · 03/19/2005 (9:20 am) · 27 replies
There are a few Orbz players still around, like me, that remember fun filled hours of non-choppy game play, without freezes or disconnects. The servers have gone downhill and, sadly, continue to travel in that direction.
If there is an Orbz 3, and if it really is released, is it going to be worth it? I am ready to throw in the towel myself. It has become more work than fun to try to play anymore and I can't see spending the money or the time on it.
I don't see, or hear of, or read of, any attempts or plans from GG or 21-6 to improve the situation. In fact, I see the situation continue to worsen. First it was just occasional. Now it is continuous and we have only 3 servers. ??? If this is the way the future of Orbz is going then I don't plan on going with it.
Downhill won't make anyone any friends, and not much money, I expect.
It would be nice to see things like they "used to be" with Orbz. But, I guess thats what all the "old timers" say.

Well it’s now 2021 and I still want to play Orbz so I don’t ever see that going away I just got an older computer so that I can try to play it again. Also going to turn on another Windows computer to see if I can have two people play on the same network

Just thought I'd add here that there I have a server running pretty much all the time here in the UK.... stormville CP6
I use Windows 10 to play Orbz on with no issues. Still the best game ever!!!
