WHEN WILL ELASTO MANIA DIE?

Slender Belly · Post by **Slender Belly** » 4 Mar 2003, 07:27

As we all know games eventually die out. So when do you think elma will? This year, next year, 10 years?

I think max 5 years and elma might be gone

.

What do YOU think???

Bonobo · Post by **Bonobo** » 4 Mar 2003, 11:38

I hope it will never die. It would be damn cool be 80 and play Elma!!

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 4 Mar 2003, 14:15

depends very much on if balazs makes new elma..
let's say i won't....then I think it will atleast take 3-4years, hopefully more.
But if he makes new elma AND new internals, it will take over 7years

John · Post by **John** » 4 Mar 2003, 16:08

Like Kopaka said if Balazs release a new elma with new internals and new functions (read New versions-topic) elma and "elma 2" would be played for many years from now...But if Balazs don't release "elma 2" then I think elma will die out when moposite is shut down..

Moposite is the only site which all kuskis know about...

And Bonobo I don't think you would like elma that much if you play it until you are 80 years old...

Well i think it can stay alive 4-5 more years no doubt about it.. i think I will allways play it...

maybe not this serious just..

But if new version comes then it will be much longer! 10 years!!!

i've just been thinking about it

I think 2 years or something like that...

Well, there are lot of good old games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior that people still play.
And I mean the OLD ones

chux · Post by **chux** » 4 Mar 2003, 22:03

Its true, but elma isnt like normal games...
usually, games are a story, you can complete them...then it finishes...
elma doesnt have an 'end' so you keep playing....on and on...blehh

AND i also think end of world willbe much sooner...

the survivors can keep on playing, or maybe the Zetas will start playing elma, OMG we'll have intergalactic record tables

nah it wont be fair caus they will get inside the computer game and use mind control on the elma guy, to make him go faster, a method that will be undected by any anti cheat shit ever, or they will have some freaky super eyehand conordination and ability to tim everythink to perfection,
basically the tt will be under 35 in no time

Rigger · Post by **Rigger** » 5 Mar 2003, 03:55

I think it's mainly up to Balazs and the mopocrew to decide when elma passes on to the eternal fields, so if everything continues to go as it's been going up till now, then we'll have to teach our grandkids the good old styles someday

I HOPE ELMA NEVER DIES. EVEN IF IT DID, I WOULD STILL PLAY IT, UNLESS I WAS BLIND AND DEAF OR SOMETIN'

LONG LIVE ELMA!!!!!!!!

J.Aizan · Post by **J.Aizan** » 5 Mar 2003, 13:02

NEVER! You can always drive better than the world records, but only if you are really good at ELMA...

Tisk · Post by **Tisk** » 5 Mar 2003, 13:22

Since Elma was released, it has become always more popular and popular. And I don't think it's going to stop any time soon.

Agree, the sound is very important. You just can't play without sound, would be like playing Q3 without a screen. btw Q3 is still the king of fps!

chux · Post by **chux** » 5 Mar 2003, 17:45

My sound doesnt work, so I play without sound

I listen to music instead

Chris Penrose · Post by **Chris Penrose** » 5 Mar 2003, 18:15

The sounds in elma get annoying really quickly. I play with sound off.

insane guy · Post by **insane guy** » 6 Mar 2003, 17:06

ah.... i forgot...
maybe it dies when new (better) version is released

soup_can · Post by **soup_can** » 6 Mar 2003, 22:45

i think if there's no new version released, it might die, but i can easily see someone starting an elma revival afterwards, in other words, elma will be around a LONG time.... well hopefully anyways

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 30 Apr 2007, 17:05

The game itself will never die, the scene will eventually.

I feel like it's actually beginning to fade mainly because we don't hear from Abula anymore and many contests were dropped (KOM,LOM,etc).

Ballelma clearly brought interest back but, i don't know if it'll last... (i sure hope so)

One thing i remarked is that the scene merged towards short term activities. The main interest is battles and short levels (hoyling levels). We no longer see contests (except for Mopokup3), nor levelpacks with regular levels (Olliz, skint, villej).

might be a sign of something...

that's why I have been pointing fingers at abula, cant be that hard to update records and most essential news OR give someone else teh keys to do it at least, jeeses.

elma dying is overdramatized at this point though, I'd say february looked worse than it is looking now. Besides I quitted wow, not only because I grew tired of it but also because I realised I love elma and want to show an example how to fight against the game dying. I have put elma to #1 habbit, whether it's good or bad day I'll spend time with my "habbit", just like guitarplaying or whatever. I don't know, I see a difference in playing a game or spending time with habbit at least, because there are more principles involved, evolving skills and stuff.

Might sound like an obsession since there's nothing to gain :p but not like I gained anything by playing guitar, in fact elma has greater things to offer imo

John · Post by **John** » 30 Apr 2007, 19:24

zweq is right, im sure moposite could really get going with some fresh blood

You are right, people. I dont think elma scene will die soon, but some day it dries out, for sure. Moposite should have some new ppl or scene might die sooner.

I remember 'bout three years ago when I was visiting my brother 'Chazz' and he was playing battle with about 25 other dudes! Nowadays I go there or friend Jake's place theres none playing battle... I hope Elma scene will be revived someday.

maybe that's cause they completely stopped playing?!

But plesase convince Chazz to come back and start making battle levs, he's still the best ever.

I guess WCup6 isn't priority at the moment. At least for me, maybe px can do it.

If WC ain't your priority, i'm guessing you are working on an automatic state.dat uploading system for the records section! I really don't see what else is more important than WC...
