I would like to thank everybody for the nostalgic fight of today and I'm happy to see that some of my throwing skills are still better than my hand-to-axe combat. I especially want to thank Þorkell for informing me and I hope this won't be the last time I have great time in the servers with this beloved mod of ours and with the great people I've grown fond with fighting with/against.

I'm sad to write this, but it seems that after all I'm not able to attend in this event :/ I hope the gods of my freetime will be more pleasant next time when you lot will have yet another great event. Take care and have fun slicing and hacking eachother.

I shall join to the side of the saxons as Fintan Fer Araig against the heathen vikings who I dislike more out of the two. If some more established clan wants to to have more experienced man within their ranks I'm more than freely to use, but even public host gives me satisfaction to partake in this grand event.

Violating good old Fintan was the only reason to get rid of it, I've heard.

Well I for once feel violated with the lack of berserk class...

Damn you saxons and your skill to understand dead languages!

Glad to see that there's a full scale event for my favourite mod and community in this planet!

Online battling also takes on its own flavour, with special modes like Coastal Assault and Warlord

All these folk whom are blissfully unaware that a solid 'viking' experience already exists for MP.
Well, the nail's in the coffin.

Well I hope that we will still have the giant monopoly...

Some of you probably already know it. TaleWorlds and the Brytenwalda team are working on a new Mount&Blade Warband offshoot called Viking Conquest.

It's going to interesting to see if they can make better mp than we have in Vikingr atm.

I'm glad SW is coming back. In a one way I find SW sometimes even more entertaining than proper historical events as the idea of recreating the SW-style of fighting is so unique to this mod. Can't wait to thin out the enemy wall with my birin!

Vikingr did affect me. The things I do, The person I am, I owe that to vikingr!

Just show with this doll where it did touch you.

'Yes' voting Scots can suck a ****.
If they want out, I want them out and to see them fall flat on their faces - preferably though I'd rather see them lynch Alex Salmond.

So does that mean you are wee bit leaning to the "No thanks" side?

This post doesn't really have anything to do with the mod, but I'm interested how you chaps in the British isles see this Scottish referendrum for indepence thingy? And I also want to know if it makes me automatically pro-indepence if I like haggis.

Wait, are you saying that we changed the server from awesome-setting at some point? So all those kills came from kitten*-mode and not from my manly skillz?

It seems that this forum doesn't understand that some words can have many meanings from little cat to coward to female genitalia. The more you know...

Just read something from the M&B II Bannerlord blog and this caught my attention: "Weapons, armor, clothes and architecture should date from around 600 to 1100 AD, rather than the 13th century."

So it would seem that after Bannerlord it would more easier for people to make mods for this era like our Vikingr. Ofc the detail isn't the same if you would just copy-paste things from native, but it would be a easier start for some modders who are interested of the era.

Guys.

Instead of talking about historical events like they just spring into existence out of nowhere somehow, how about YOU (yes, YOU, whoever is reading this) start working on an event yourself?

Guys.

Hey I just witnessed Celtic quitting SW-events 'cous of things and I'm not even half the man he is. I think the mod was shown in quite good light in the video even though it was in the Jomsborg server. I think that kind of weekly semi-organized event is kinda cool in some ways. The grand historical events are the hearth and greatest single part in Vikingr, but I sometimes feel that simple raids, sieges and even giant battles should happen more often.

That and official events running. Hey I know! Let's ask Pewdiepie... or not... yeah I think I'd rather nail his balls to the table than ask him to promote Vikingr

Ya I agree that the official events that are really fleshed out show the best of this mod and community. I agree that Pewdiepie isn't the best one to promote this mod and that he embodies all that's evil and wrong in internet. I think that Seananners has played some warband in his videos, but we all know how the native feels and looks like.

I also like to point out that I with some of my irl friends used to play Source mod Hidden some years ago with like 2-3 populated servers at any given time, but after Nanners played it a bit it has gained publicity that it never used to have. And I like to point out that the mod itself had no major changes between the transition, it only came known to people who didn't even know that they had missed a game like that.

I'm all fine with Vikingr as it is, but sometimes I feel like we would need more players to secure the future of the mod after the hc veterans have gone old and weary.

I hope that brings some more live in the event and generally in Vikingr.

Well we would need to have a really famous youtuber or such to promo this mod to really break the ice. Still any visibility is always a good thing.

The M&B facebook account just promoted some youtuber playing Vikingr in the Jomsborg server.

Borgarrson said:

Oh, I'm not really asking to make it happen, I just wish there was a singleplayer mod with exactly vikingr stuff, especially weapons and cloths, factions and maps, it would be perfect, but I get it and I won't be willing to it, so..

Ya well I've wished for blue tunics to Goidil for over a year but with little success... Life is hard man.
