I guess that is also a response to the North American server requested in this thread…It also has about 20 maps, including the custom frigate ship, and an HTTP redirect for fast download. Come on, let’s get the game on!

Does anyone still play this? I just put a server up at ut2004://140.247.62.101:8777 and will leave it up indefinitely until people still play :D

No I don’t think so. I had mine up until the end of August (just last month) and I would get an occasional passerby but no stayed for long so I decided to close up shop :(

I still think Air buccaneers is a great game but its just not as fun with no one to play with. I hear there’s still hope though because it might get made into a standalone game kinda like killing floor did…

We can only hope and pray

Are any servers still up and being played regularly?

I remember playing ABU years ago, I’m rather sad I missed the revival… just hoping it’s still going?

IP:68.232.172.209:7777

Good news everyone! I have successfully uploaded and launched ABu on my server!

It works great!

I was thinking of setting up a day were I would run ABu the whole day. Maybe once a week how dose that sound to you guys?

Any suggestions?

I emailed the creator of ABu a wile back and I just checked my email earlier today and found a reply
This is how the email went

I am a fan of a game you created Air Buccaneers. I was wondering if there were any future plans in store for this project or has your group put it aside?

Hiya,

Thanks for your email.

LudoCraft operates nowadays as a games development company. We still have some hopes for getting a publishing deal for the future version of ABu. If, and when, we have some resources to develop the game, we definitely will make a new version for the current Unreal Engine.

More info about LudoCraft from http://www.ludocraft.com

Cheers,
Tony

Oh that’s good to hear at least the game lives on. There use to be one ABu server running for UT2004 but just recently it shut down. On fathers day it was completely full 24/24 player! It was great. I know there is a large amount of people who still play ut2004 that love ABu. Thanks for making a great game and good luck with your new games!

There’s a fair amount of off-peak players, like right now for instance. We’ve had 5 players on the server for the last couple hours. So if you have the time don’t just check back saturday or tommorow, people are coming on at random hours. I was playing it 1v1 for about an hour before others started showing up.

KBKarma: Unless you mean a different server, the server’s already up now. It’s not certain how much longer the PCG UK server is going to be up AFTER this saturday, we just know it’ll be up at least until then since some of the RPS crew (John Walker I believe) intend to play again that day.

Wedge: It plays fine for me here on the west coast of the U.S., ping 180 doesn’t seem to make any difference, but you’ll have to be a morningbird (as in getting up before noon) to line up with the majority of RPS’ community over in the UK.

I LOVED this game when I played it a few years back, it’s absolutely amazing. I wish I could get this running in the Northern Americas sometime….
