Honorable members of Celtiberos,

As you're no doubt keenly aware of, Medieval II in particular has suffered extreme setbacks in its multiplayer community, at the hands of GameSpy and its log-in problems.

Nowadays, Med2 sees only 50+ players on during its peak time, as opposed to Rome's 100+, which is still pretty pitiful as it is.

25/6 Med2 lobby 58 - RTW lobby 121
26/6 Med2 lobby 48 - RTW lobby 125
27/6 Med2 lobby 52 - RTW lobby 112

This certainly isn't the results a fantastic series like Total War deserves.

In response to this disastrous turn of events, players from across the community are rallying together to put forth a petition to The Creative Assembly, SEGA and Gamespy. I'd like to encourage every member of Celtiberos to also add their voices to this movement.

This is a very well-written document by Emperor Vladimir of The Warriors of Troy. Hopefully, if we can eventually reach the many hundreds, someone of official capacity may actually notice our frustration for once, or perhaps we may even attract the attention the gaming media.

Whatever happens, its high time someone listens to us.

In much appreciation of your support,

Thanks for your welcome! And haha you must forgive me too - my language skills don't extend very far past English! :D

Well, there's been rumors of a unified attempt by clans to help increase MedII's popularity again - so I'll be sure to keep you updated on it if it happens!

Hail, Celtiberos!

For those in this fine clan that I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet, I am Caelryck of Arcani.

Lonesoldier, having served as Arcani's diplomat with unfailing loyalty throughout 2007 and into 08, has recently abdicated from this position. Having earned much well-deserved respect across all corners of the community, this news would no doubt bring disappointment to many.

Massive responsibility has been left in Lone's wake - responsibility that has been passed onto me, Arcani's new diplomat. And in an endeavor to live up to the standard my predecessor has maintained, I've arrived to formally introduce myself to your distinguished clan: Celtiberos.

The community of Total War, although still active, is - as you have no doubt noticed - not currently enjoying the same thriving nature it has done over the past years. Although much of this is entirely beyond our control, it ultimately begins - and finishes - with us. The living and breathing entity behind the glories of the battlefield. And for this reason, I will be keenly tackling the work left behind for me, and I hope to begin serving the community in a way that might contribute to revitalization.

So, as we will soon progress through the ages from blade and bolt to shot and steel, let us continue as comrades and warriors of renown bound together in the passion that drives us all - the splendid art we call Total War!

And with best of luck, I'll be checking in here regularly to keep on tabs with everything, so be sure to save me a seat at your banquet table!

And if I may carry on Lone's avowal:

Glory be to Arcani, Glory be to us all!

Hope to see you all around soon, gents!
