C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
So how many vets do we have here, by vets I mean old school people from betas and the beginning of retail? Man I loved those days, the beta kicked ass. What do most of you all play now? Still Ren or other games and just chatting it up here?
I've been around since the very beginning of the retail release of Renegade. I don't play it much anymore though. I mostly play World of Warcraft at the moment.
I stopped playing Renegade last year around the time Half Life 2 came out. I don't really play PC games anymore since I have too much to do during the day to worry about them, but that'll change when Battlefield 2 comes out.
I've been here since around summer/fall 2002, August I think (Renegade was released around February 2002.), I was on for a little while before I registered because for some reason Westwood didn't allow new registrations on the forums for some time, so someone lent me a spare account until I could register.
I bought the game less than a week after it's release. I don't really play many games anymore, but I did just install Half-Life 2 again today, since I've been too lazy to install it since my reformat.
I bought the game the day of release (Here in Canada that was mid to late (February 2002). I actually started playing 3 months earlier, playing the online multiplayer demo. So that would have made it sometime in December 2001. Been a long time....
Been playing Renegade since end of March/beginning of April 2002, but not very often since I had a (very) crap computer until this last December. Oooh how I wish I could have been as active back then as I am now.
Yeah i swear once you hit about 18 you stop liking to play video games anymore.
<-- Beta phase one, you know me I'm 25 and I still play games.
Played it since it came out. Various ladderwhore moments when it was still fun. And still playing it everyday
came online 2 months after it came out but i brought it a week after release rarely play now though lack of team work in most the games just bores me
I was on the forums before the annoucement of a beta. I didn't get picked for the beta though.
I cant remember when exactly I got it, but I'm sure it was less than a month or two after It's release. I can remember seeing it in the store thinking "That looks cool, I'll buy it".
I played Renegade since the MP demo. It was the first game I saw that really seamlessly blended vehicluar combat and infantry combat. As you've probably figured, I got the game about 2 days after it came out. I played it a ton untill 2004 when other games started to pull me in. Now I mostly play Call of Duty, but I make time for a few games of Renegade a week.
I havent played since the beta, but I did play for a good 2 years until GuildWars came out. Since then Ive been the Leader of Two major GameSpy Clans, and In a top 10(9th place) WOL clan prior to playing GSA.
I've played since about June 2002 when a friend gave it to me. I mostly play HL2, CS:S, and other games.
Playing since 3rd or 4th day of release. Stopped playing often 3 months ago due to being in europe, but now i'm home and i'll be playing more soon.
I see, msot of the people here are on the forums just to chat with people like I am. I am a bit curious though to pop in the dis again and play a little. Besides the core patch, what else do I need to get Renegade working now?
I played it from July to about January... CS: S ate my life.
I've been playing since the demo then 4 weeks prior to the official release.
Had it pre-ordered back then so I had it right when it was released
glyde51 I played it from July to about January... CS: S ate my life. CS: S took my life, tied it to the ground then sat on me and said "I am now never leaving your side, EVER, and you will never get away from me"
Lol, yeah CS:S is pretty good I guess. At least Valve knows not to try any big changes on that, because they are bad at anything they try to fix or update.
I stopped when HL2 came out too, but I mostly play Warcraft 3 now.
Hey Dutch boy, how you doing? How is the APSH coming along What are you up to lately? Still trolling around the forums?
I played Renegade since it came out. Paid the full price for it too, lol.
WinterFresh Hey Dutch boy, how you doing? How is the APSH coming along What are you up to lately? Still trolling around the forums? The dutch always does good and wtf is APSH? And i am always keeping an eye on this forum to annoy ppl =P
Oh I must have spelled it in Dutch, it's APC in English, my bad. What happened to the rest of the people, I don't see the site up anymore. You guys still play together or?
I've been around since early 2003, but first signed up to this foum like 3 months before Crimson took over. Or was it after? I can't remember.
WinterFresh Oh I must have spelled it in Dutch, it's APC in English, my bad. What happened to the rest of the people, I don't see the site up anymore. You guys still play together or? I only still talk to rat often. There are some others alive but don't talk to them much like vesh j00b shirball assud fatal anakaris. The rest i have no clue
Who is j00b? Is that someone from Savage? How are those guys doing, they still active players? WC3 or other games? Hey, instead of spamming the msg board with our posts, give me your e-mail. Or PM me if you don't want any spam. Hey say Hi to Rat if you see him, I seriously mean that.
my mail is in my profile and idan is the j00b (jewish n00b )
I have been around since the 1st day it hit the shelves here in Australia
You're a j00b demo. Rat was an ass, I didn't like him too much. He made every effort to break up WL members.
been playing since around a week after release... Didn't really sign up on these forums until a while later though.
Aircraftkiller You're a j00b demo. Rat was an ass, I didn't like him too much. He made every effort to break up WL members. o and you are the perfect member :rolleyes:
Hehehehe, he is mighty Canadian A-
Aircraftkiller Rat was an ass, I didn't like him too much. He made every effort to break up WL members. Seconded, and according to Senc he succeeded, hence no WL today.
Falconxl Aircraftkiller Rat was an ass, I didn't like him too much. He made every effort to break up WL members. Seconded, and according to Senc he succeeded, hence no WL today. There is no more WL b/c there weren't any fun clan games to play.
bought April, 2002 - started playing on with 56k in June, and upgraded to cable @ August, 2002. I still play every now and then between CS:S and renegade
I've been around since the first betas... Of course I wasn't actually in them, so I sat around trying to listen for funny bugs or info from the testers. I was Dodongomon back then.
Demolition man There is no more WL b/c there weren't any fun clan games to play. Yeah right, There were plenty of games to get involved with but Rat got board so quickly with games and moved on to another he left some members of the clan struggling to catch up.
Guys lets not talk about that here, aight. This is a thread to remember the good times. Aight? Anywho, so how many people are in Renegade servers ona average now?
I bought the game shortly after the retail release. I don't play as much now as I used to, but I still play.
Do me have to c u on a bavaria style, or whaata...Me kill the squirrls by hand... Knaack it goes...(don't even need an AK for that, my "adopted fatrher""presented me an 22.-250 Caliber. With an 2-8x Sccope, like that. Less firepower, but a goood accuracy..! This will be ok until 200 meter (160yrs)... But I do prefer the .308 Hammers even a 50cm tree...
The only one who fired a gun , may be..(HER9 LIFE IS ack1), me Im arfaid...?LÖL I like him "REAL" style... Think we would survive... , but you have to fetch me with that boeing... :rolleyes: PS : Stop talking about what ever: This is how it goes..., at least...
WinterFresh Guys lets not talk about that here, aight. This is a thread to remember the good times. Aight? Anywho, so how many people are in Renegade servers ona average now? About five people or so.
I've been around since the retail game came out. I've had quite a few name changes so no one will reconize me from back then. You'll still see me in Renegade servers from time to time.
I just LOVE how ACK is SOOOO optimistic about EVERYTHING!
There are over 8000 unique players (by serial hash) who use RenGuard in a given week. If you want to be generous and say that half of all Renegade players are on RG, then that makes about 16,000 players. If you want to be less optimistic and say only 10% of Renegade players are RG users, then there are about 80,000 people still playing Renegade.
I remember knowing about the game in like 1998 or something... and when it released I only borrowed it for a couple weeks and got incredibly addicted. Then, I bought it somewhere around June I think. I would suppose I'm a vet...
...Which is grossly overestimated because Renegade peaked out around 80,000 users a few years ago. At most it has 12,000 left, if even that.
Nah I think that is reasonable since on any given day a lot of unique serials sign on and off. Thx Crim, you're always there when it is needed.
I've been playing the game around 7 months after the release. Once I joined these forums I got more into making maps and models for the game than actually playing it.
Aircraftkiller ...Which is grossly overestimated because Renegade peaked out around 80,000 users a few years ago. At most it has 12,000 left, if even that. You're being generous even with that figure. I've just released I've never actually bought Renegade. I still have the text file full of serials, too. Fun times.
You all just LOOOOVE to estimate when I have actual hard figures. In the last 24 hours, there have been 3679 unique serials. 48 hours: 4673 72 hours: 5310 1 week: 7448 Since April 14, 2005 (little over a month): 13156 unique users It's NOT 12,000 in all of Renegade. Note that these are JUST RenGuard users, so based on my figures that only about 50% of Renegade players use RenGuard, that would mean there are at least 26,000 players left.
How many of them are using warez or bought another copy to get past server bans? How many are the same person? Unique serial hashes don't really mean too much. It's probably more like 90% of players now have to use RG or they can't play anymore, and end up leaving.
I stopped playing about a month ago, about 1/3 to 1/2 of the ppl in servers I played in used Renguard. I know because every once in a while I had to kick some prick for coming in and doing !forcerg on anyone who just didnt have RenGuard.
Till how much do the WOL ranks go up? 20000? When the ranks are reset, most people count as a "recruit". That means there are still more that 20000 right? Then we haven't even counted the GSA players yet...
Ok I've seen some other posts about things an softwares that are usefull for Renegade, but that was a long list and I couldn't figure out what I needed and what was crap. What's the basic thing I need to play Renegade now a days? Patch, RenGuard and that's it?
WinterFresh Ok I've seen some other posts about things an softwares that are usefull for Renegade, but that was a long list and I couldn't figure out what I needed and what was crap. What's the basic thing I need to play Renegade now a days? Patch, RenGuard and that's it? Core Patch 1 too. If you want to keep up.
Aircraftkiller How many of them are using warez or bought another copy to get past server bans? How many are the same person? Unique serial hashes don't really mean too much. It's probably more like 90% of players now have to use RG or they can't play anymore, and end up leaving. You are talking about the exception and not the rule. Do you honestly believe that there's a significant amount of people who have to use dozens of different serial hashes within a 40-odd day span? I would put the number of serials that artificially inflate the number of users at less than 0.1%. In fact, since each serial can be connected to WOL twice, I would say the number of users is actually a little higher. I know here at my house, we have two serials for four computers and three players. It's very difficult to argue with the actual numbers, I'm honestly surprised you're still trying.
You're still assuming and didn't answer what I asked of you. How many are evading server bans with another serial number? How many are the same person with another nickname?
That is EXACTLY the question I answered. Maybe you should read it again. The nickname question is irrelevant because I didn't do a query for unique nicknames. I did a query for unique serial hashes.
Then why assume that Renegade has a huge fanbase behind it still? It's kind of hard to extrapolate data like that based on one perspective.
We could have many major servers keeping logs of all unique player IDs joining their servers too....if they logged them for a month, then posted them, along with the data from renguard, we might get an estimate of how many people play renegade online per month.
Is there any quick way to recover a lost password and username?
Nope. if you can remember your username, just brainstorm the password over and over till you get it right. remember, it's 8 characters exactly
Lol that is retarded. Sigh, I guess I'll have to keep on trying.
Aircraftkiller Then why assume that Renegade has a huge fanbase behind it still? It's kind of hard to extrapolate data like that based on one perspective. 12,000 is big enough for me to still give a damn about. Isn't "huge" a matter of opinion anyway, or a matter of relativity? It's still more people than the number that give a shit about anything you do or I do.
12,000... Lets put that in perspective. A small town has about 12,000 people in it. 12,000 is by no means a small number. Renegade has the population of a small town playing it.
12,000 is over 3/5's of Wembley stadium
tooncy 12,000... Lets put that in perspective. A small town has about 12,000 people in it. 12,000 is by no means a small number. Renegade has the population of a small town playing it. Steampowered.com: Average unique users per month: 2,335,749 current min max n Player Count 139,840 60,439 180,156 n Server Count 87,405 46,189 87,934 This is at 1:12 AM. That count blows Renegade away.
Isn't that count for all games available on Steam though. Like TFC, HLDM, HL2DM, CS:S etc.
I love Renegade. As long as there are 20 people and one server up, I will play it. I have more fun with Renegade than CS, HL2 or any other game. The 12000 players are what we call a fan base. Look at tiberian sun, there are still people making mods for it and playing, a lot of people. And it's game from 1997...
Crimson <-- Beta phase one, you know me I'm 25 and I still play games. Same here, and I have 2 jobs... I didn't know Ren came out in Feb 2002. I built this pc that November and got the game shortly after. I guess that makes me somewhat of an experienced player. EA didn't appear to support it for long though...
Renardin6 I love Renegade. As long as there are 20 people and one server up, I will play it. I have more fun with Renegade than CS, HL2 or any other game.

Jzinsky I didn't know Ren came out in Feb 2002. ... EA didn't appear to support it for long though... Westwood merged with (was purchased by?) EA shortly after Renegade was released, to the best of my knowledge. EA then promptly all but completely dropped support of every Westwood game.
Word, there would be 1 more player if I could figure out my password lol. Weren't there some programs that could find your password out or something?
I tried but it says that the e-mail address is already in use or that I have already registered with that game serial.
Yeah I finally got it working, hey Demo, are you or any of the oldies still playing it? I would love to play with you guys again. Like old times ...

That count blows Renegade away. So? Renegade still has a large fanbase. It is by no means as large as CS, but you cannot deny that 12,000 players is not a signifigant number.

Heh the game is too easy, I just played two games and was second and fourth overall. And yeah my side won both times.
WinterFresh Yeah I finally got it working, hey Demo, are you or any of the oldies still playing it? I would love to play with you guys again. Like old times ... eh u can play with OPS ppl for the rest i don't know who has this game installed...

Been around since Mplayer (before GSA) and Red Alert to RA2 then on to Yuris and finally Renegade with 56k. Our clan has been together since 1997
WinterFresh are you or any of the oldies still playing it? I would love to play with you guys again. Like old times ... Since the pits was forced down I've been playing in n00bstories, once in a great while I hop into another server.
Yeah I also saw Iranoob playing today. It's weird, the game is still as laggy as I remember it lol.
they never fixed the netcode I still have pings of over 200 in most cases
Hold up. If theres (as said) 26,000 players still playing Renegade, then why, if I go on now, will I only see around 3 servers with players on. Bare in mind that these servers won't even be full. I can go on WOL at any time and not see 26,000 players. At any point. Let alone 13,000..
It's 26,000 players during a month. It's highly unlikely that all 26,000 players will be signed on at the same time.
