Hi, just curios.
Is someone still playing in Homeworld 2 at PBW?
What has happened the last year?
I see that the game is still active..

I couldn't see a homeworld2 game so I take it you mean home coming 2. Yeah sure it's still going, sort of, but we seem to go for weeks without a turn and personally I don't do much but open turn, obey orders and close again.

Ahh yes, homecoming 2 it was!
Has anyone been eliminated?
As I remember there where two fractions in the game, the prophets with 3 allies (one wich was my race)and two other on the other side.

It's possible quite a few players have been eliminated. Although most of them may have quit. We havn't got many left, that's perhaps why it takes weeks to do a turn, perhaps we all lost interest. My partner for one quit, so I can't possibly win. This game is so old we started under 1.84 and I used a bug to figure out where my target was. Since I thought it might be cheating I didn't act on what I knew, but have since declared war on the empire that was trying to hide my planet from me, just for something to do for the most part. It must be a really old game as I have a shipset I havn't used almost since I started playing on pbw.

Yep, it's an old game.
I played in it for about the first 200 turns or so.
Was on the verge of being destroyed twice but with the help of my partner managed to get back on my feets again after having had only one planet and a few ships left.

It was quite fun.
