About Dark Messiah Multiplayer.

[k@sh]

I had 3 guides for Dark Messiah Multiplayer. "How to connect to any Dark Messiah Multiplayer server", "DMOMM Huge Custom Maps Storage" and "How to fix undead male priest "Die!" taunt?". Game is dead, so I didnt see a reason if somebody will be still concerned in this and I deleted them.

FAQ:

What the ♥♥♥♥ has happened with Dark Messiah Mutliplayer server?
Master server browser from Ubisoft is down, so its not possible to find servers, however nowadays there are still 3 servers online. Check http://gameway.ru

Why there are only russian servers?
There were more in the past: [EYE] Domain, |RB| server, Luna Inverse server, DMtavern.com server, |TSH| server, my Last Hope server and others but some idiots planned a regular action of crashing/ddosing servers everyday and discourage all newcomers, veterans to play and server owners to pay for their servers.

Who am I?
I collected some people to community to revive old good DM times, however it didnt workout. I hosted a dedicated server, but as soon as my server showed up in server browser, crashes came. It was really often, my server was online max 6 hrs per day, bcs some dumbs decide to flood/crash it everyday, so I had to give up. However I regret that I had to do it, bcs I made some effort to configure it everything, custom maps, quake sounds, players statistics. I paid for eveything... but its not about my butthurt, but to show that even positive "doings" will dissapear if there will exist others whose their main job is to ruin fun of playing.

Why game has so many bugs?
Bcs it has never been updated since 2007. We tried to change by sending petition to Ubisoft, Arkane Studios and Kuju Entertainment, but after long delay only Ubisoft answered that they wont plan to fix/update this game. In my opinion it sounded like "we dont care about the game, however we wont remove this game from steam shop, bcs its always nice cash boost for us". If you need to know their main update was adding colloseum maps and some other fixes, but unfixed things remain unfixed till today and annoy most of newcomers on servers. Some players overuse bugs to get advantage in game or just it turned out as element of the gameplay. To this day it didnt change, so I think the only way is to accept it, learn the ropes or just leave the game.

Have this game clans?
There were some clans. [EYE],IRBI,|TSH|,{KoD},[HBD] and others, however they are not active anymore. They used to be active in old good times, there were clanwars, servers and many more, however everything sometimes ends and in this case it ends too. In January 2014 after long period of existence [EYE] server which was good for all europeans has been closed.

Why do I do this?
Bcs I felt that ppl might know what did happen with this game and I think it can be helpful for others. Me after Dark Messiah experiences wont support Ubisoft anymore.

Might&Magic game series are dead since 3DO and New World Computing are dead. I am sorry that Ubisoft bought the rights for Might&Magic and profane the good name which for years made by Jon Van Caneghem. Dark Messiah for me never was a game from Might&Magic series but multiplayer was cool. Crusades on full DM Tavern are epic or fun deadmatches at the colosseum. I spent a nice time with Dark Messiah community, I was in [-CA-] clan and {KoD}, I was too often guest in EYE website(Biggest EYE fan range in forum,lol). The game is already dead forever although some people are still playing. Good times for Dark Messiah will never come back but I hope that we can do gathering and play again Dark Messiah on full server with old friends.

Cheers!

Also I would like to mention that Arkane had plans of releasing SDK - modding center for Dark Messiah, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as a homm license owner and publisher didnt let them to do it. Its shame bcs modding community would be more developed.

Due this fact, all modders had to use a kinda glitchy, non officialy dmomm ported - valve's SDK.

Hey.
Sorry for my terrible English.

At the moment, there are still players who play every day in multiplayer. However, because of all these problems - it's 5-8 people.
I played in the 2010-2011 year and really want to repeat the scale of the battle for Stounhelm or Necropolis.
Group for Russian-speaking players have in the social network vk.com (https://vk.com/dm_mp)
I understand that it will be uncomfortable all the rest - I propose here to post more information about:
- Installing the game and all the necessary patches (if needed).
- Connect to servers.
- Other information that will help to adapt to the game for beginners or old players to remind that all is not lost.

♥♥♥♥ me, I change mind too often. I will try to bring back my guides bcs it seem there is stiil a nerd.

[Abaddon]

There are no other games like this out there. No multiplayer first-person, fantasy, RPGs where you can upgrade your character and gain levels quickly, and the next day start over.

It's amusing, it's great, and it's a shame that nobody makes a worthy spiritual successor. I had high hopes on Dishonored for this same reason... Too bad, it was just like Bioshock, which is good, but it's not DM :(

[k@sh]

I would have my server to this day if idiots didn't crash it. It was really popular, bcs pings were comfortable for most Europeans,

[Kaeptn]

Too Bad... SDK and Modding Center would have been awesome and would have cept the game alive =/ Man that server thing sucks!! To bad it does not work out =( I miss the game

[Blue fish]

i wish the game was as popular as it was a couple of years ago

[2hearted]

Would you mind me asking how much it costed you to host a dedicated server? The two servers up right now have a 250 ping for me(NA), which is basically unplayable except for like poison bombs or something dumb.

Sorry for the late reply. This was particularily interesting to me as it was me who directly asked Arkane Studios about this many years ago. Good memories.
