ryanoldschl1 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor of the servers being closed come january? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draud Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Doubt it, since they just released it on PSN. But you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraven_15 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 ah dude, I REALLY hope there isn't. I was working on RF:G a while ago and my old PS3 YLOD. I'm getting it fixed this weekend though so I might jump straight back into it for the 250 wins just to make sure. Where did you hear this rumour?

ryanoldschl1 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 i was playing bioshock2 and some guy who i seen playing RFG before recognized me from playing and mentioned it. it could just be a bunch of bs, but i just wanted to make sure.

billygolden78 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 they are releasing RF: Armageddon early next year, so who knows if they'll pull an EA and drop support for this game. it rocked, so it would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juzam666 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I would act as though it would be shuting down shortly after RF:A drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraven_15 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I would act as though it would be shuting down shortly after RF:A drops.  Yea, once my YLOD is fixed this weekend, I'll probably jump straight into it and try and smash out 250 wins as fast as possible. From what I've read in other threads, if need be, the other online trophies can be boosted. What I need to confirm though is whether or not the private matches needed to boost have to be set up online or if I can play two player at home and get them if I'm running out of time... coz that'll have big time implications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's some way to get em though.  Let's hope the server closures are just a rumour and we never have to find out  On a side note, Im pretty sure I saw you online and I'm pretty sure you were on the other team and I'm pretty sure you kicked my ass, hahaha. It seems I have a ways to go before I can become competitive. But yea, if anyone else hears anything about these server rumours, please let us all know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraven_15 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Ok, I emailed THQ and being a wonderful bunch they are, they responded within a day. According to their responses, they have never heard of any intention to close the Red Faction: Guerilla servers, which is fantastic news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planty-rob Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Glad to hear servers not shutting down, just started playing the game then to see this post. Cant see how they could shut them down anyway, they have a duty to provide the service for every sold game with online capabilities. Not known a game where it has happened, anyone know of one? http://mypsn.eu.playstation.com/psn/profile/planty-rob.png "] http://mypsn.eu.playstation.com/psn/profile/planty-rob.png [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not known a game where it has happened, anyone know of one? Unfortunately, yes. EA, for one, are awful at keeping online servers up. To name a few which have closed there servers: Tom Clancy's EndWar, Lord of the Rings Conquest, the older FIFA games, and the older Tiger Woods games. These games then have unachievable platinums due to online trophies, which can, obviously, no longer be achieved. If you want to see some more examples, look in the Unachievable Trophies thread.

Also, Tom Clancey isn't closed, I'm pretty sure it was a rumour that spread outta control, but the servers still up. But yea, once I'm done with Fear 2, I'll be back onto Red Faction to get it all sorted before the servers do close, whenever that happens to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel59 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think the main fear about the servers in this game isnt necessarily THQ closing the servers so much as the dwindling amount of players on the servers. I play the game pretty much every day and it seems that every other match you run into the same people over and over again. There really is a small community of people still playing this game. I'm curious if THQ would look at the populace instead of the age of the game to determine whether or not to keep up the server. All things considered if I were THQ and saw the amount of people playing this game I'd shut it down to save the money cause in effect I'd piss off a whole 12 people playing this game... LUCKILY players in the European arenas are starting to pick the game up more and the crowd is starting to grow again. I might get this 250 trophy yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nia333 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I just picked this game up again and I love the online. It's good that its still online but there isn't enough people online to really matter because it takes for ever to find enough people to play a match.

Xian Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 There is heck a lot of people still playing online. I got no problems with finding games. Team Anarchy is best choice for those who looking for players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
