What's the oldest game aside from pic related that has an active community? basically at least 1 server active any time of day.

>>8804076
Played that game for years. 14.99 subscription, my parents paid it. It's a crying shame it never got a big enough player base to really make use of its potential. Poor graphics aside, it would have been awesome even if it was just a tank or fighter simulator thanks to the level of realism and authenticity, but it was all that plus a fps, plus a strategy game, all as an MMO in a half-scale virtual recreation of a big chunk of Europe, running day and night. Constant and substantial patches. It still is unlike any other gaming endeavor. It just required autism to really appreciate, you could spend hours spawned as an infantryman in a non-combat capacity like spotting, or driving infantry multiple km to an attack in a truck. I always keep a small hope alive that somehow it will suddenly get thousands of new players and function as was always intended yet never realized.
