The Nickman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I discovered TEW 05 at about 2010. My computer was on last legs and died while playing game, my brother blamed the game for breaking computer(it wasnt). 2005 barely played. 2013 came out and I caught the bug. I played/streamed on YouTube a WWE attitude era series from May 96' up to May 2001' It would've went longer but save crashed. I even edited the mod to convert to 2016. Wait a second.... I think I remember you! You were Junior Squared, right? You had that save where Billy Gunn died so someone else was in the New Age Outlaws with Road Dogg? And Chris Candido became a huge star?

BDC212 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 EWR the good old days. I remember playing as NWA-TNA and having an AJ Styles vs Bryan Danielson feud that was red hot...and then Danielson tore his knee sidelining him for 12 months, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Apologies if this has been answered already, but do we have a rough time/timezone that the demo is going to drop on the 23rd? I’m only asking because I’m in Australia and tomorrow is the 23rd here and I don’t want to be spending all day at work refreshing when I don’t need to be. Both for my own sanity and the site load haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both for my own sanity and the site load haha The release is done in Arizona, but GDS doesn't give an exact time because then everybody's gonna be on the site hitting refresh, crashing the servers. I hope people Thursday are going to be considerate to GDS and other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If I can remember about 2016 it was well after noon EST so I’d be optimistic to say any time before 15:00 EST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone Rivendale Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I've also been on the bandwagon since Extreme Warfare. I had the original for only a few weeks when Deluxe came out and it blew me away. Funny now, cuz the series is 10k times better than back then. I did Promotion Wars too, and it was alright. Ran out of steam pretty quick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlatYellow Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Is there a limit to the number of developmental territories you can own in the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munit Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I can't remember it may have been 05 ewr. I remember the who uploading Kyky pics on another website and it blew my mind. I used to to print off these south park custom wrestlers some random guy used to upload online and create real life feds with pen and paper. Once I found out about ewr it changed the game.

I hope people Thursday are going to be considerate to GDS and other people. Dammit, I was hoping it wouldn't be American time, that's the worst case scenario for me. Means if it's not released before midday I probably have to wait until Friday morning. Sad times indeed (for me anyway) If I can remember about 2016 it was well after noon EST so I’d be optimistic to say any time before 15:00 EST Aaaaaaand, this confirms it. Might have to put in for Friday off work, methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onelonly Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I do miss the simplicity of Extreme Warfare, but Adam transformed the game into something greater. I remember thinking to myself, "The creator of this game will move on to something different and I will scour the internet to find a download link to a beautiful memory." It is now 2020 and I'm glad I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenCycle Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I don't even know how people, including my middle school self, played EWR back then. In 2020, it is soooo ugly. People in the early 2000s were obsessed with blue and red. It's a really well organized program, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikbot Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've been playing these games since the first TEW when I was a little jimmy. It's great to see how much everything has progressed over the time this series has been around. Never been too serious about it all but it's definitely a fun thing for me.

People in the early 2000s were obsessed with blue and red. It's a really well organized program, though. The nine-step process to book a match is the hardest thing for me now. TEW has streamlined that quite a bit, and it sounds like 2020 will do so even further. EWR was amazing for its time. The competitor (can't even remember its name - Promotion Wars, maybe?) was roughly equal to EW, but EWR blew it away. Plus you could quietly drop it on a school or work computer since there was no install process or licence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion Wars was turfed because "the other Adam" couldn't handle criticism and comparison to Adam Ryland. He threw in the towel rather than continue our own little wrestling video game war.

Micah Cage Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 HA. So we wait until people start joking and getting along and THEN we abruptly delete threads with no explanation? Surefire way to make people want to continue posting. Enjoy the game, ladies and (probably mostly) gents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
