I just realised that the last time I played Bannerlord with my friends was 1 year , 6 months and 20 days ago, since they release the worst untested 1.7.2 update that killed the remaining captain/skirmish player base.
You can never tell me that this update was properly tested since, I could no longer get game while in a party of friends, games would crash because someone left the match and some of the faction(captain) got more unbalanced than the others.
They should have reverted the ranking system asap since it didn't work on a very small player base.
Now, after all this time you can't find any match when searching, the only active servers is the team deadmatch, siege died out, rest of the multiplayer population is on singleplayer or in full invasion, persistent empires mp modes.
Wish TW would have given priority to this issues instead of releasing their 2139821th singleplayer hotfix
