Well, the game is quite old now, but I wouldn't say it's dying. It's just aged to maturity :
: .
Given the age of the game, interest has obviously decreased.
However, it's been this level of quiet for quite some time. There are always people showing up mentioning how they've just discovered the game or found this site looking for new things to do with the whole B&W series of games (download new maps, mods, etc.).
In addition, we also show interest in other games that the members here all like, e.g. Spore. Although I have to admit our main focus is still B&W.
*Suddenly realise he never siad how he found the game :shocked *
For me, I had read about B&W in gaming magazines well before it's release. However, I held off for a long while from buying the game for two reasons:
- I didn't have a powerful enough PC
- I had read mentions of a PS2 port being made and was holding out for that little realising how awful that would have been :no.
Eventually though, I bought the game around the time path 1.20 was released. I played it for a long time isolated from the internet (I lived out in the countryside) until I finally had internet access and could visit the Lionhead B&W forums Where I met some of the long-time olbies that can be found here :worship .
