yea it was a fun ride. hope things go back to how they were it’d be fun to play with them again. always loved playing both cw and cw2. difficult to focus on those now that everything is getting crazier due to everyone getting older and possibly not having the time to focus on playing enough to keep the community active. seen many friends leave the community and even i slowed in activity in the discord. mad respect for everyone working on the games thanks for making games that i could enjoy.
I started the game in 2015, 7 years ago I was 5 years old I haven't been as addicted or had so much fun since that time when there was an active community This game is now as old as I am and Nacker will probably not make a return, either in college or living his own life This game forever stays in my heart
ngl this video made me cry a bit I played this game when i was just 10 I am 16 now and I never got to be a part of the community but i was there and My character is mighty w game it deserved better than to slowly dwindle away like that
Thanks, from all Roblox games I spent a lot of time in, Craftwars really stuck with me, I have seen so many good games rise and fall and seeing this just makes me tear up. *wipes tear away*
Just finished watching the video. You did an AMAZING job explaining the history of the game! There was a lot of stuff that I didn't know about, like Craftwars 2 still getting updates after the terrain change (Cthulhu, Demon King, etc). Keep up the great work!
There was a few things he had forgot to mention including one of the earliest builds when the game was simply called 2 player war tycoon which was not mentioned
Seeing Craftwars diminish in player count and love from the roblox community honestly makes me really sad. I actually first found out about craftwars via roblox ad in mid-late 2016, and i had a lot of fun. It’s sad to see the game go, as it’s mostly being ravaged by a general dislike from the new roblox generation of players, and exploiters.
I used to play back in very late 2015, i dont remember how far i was but i think i played until 2017 or 2018, but i forgot about the game for a few years until 2022 and i saw how dead it was. Almost made me cry
I started to play Balanced Craftwars Overhaul some days ago and I really enjoyed the community and the play style, it is simple but very well done, this video clarified a lot of doubts I had about the same game having different versions and gave me a lot of information about the history of it, thank you for the video!
the game is good i like how balanced craftwars one day got into the roblox trend pages even with less than 1 thousand players, and the constant updates too
Aw man, starting to remember my time in the discord, I wasn't much there but it was fun interacting with people, wish I could've been there for the entire thing. I left before I got watch the end of it too. Some really cool people in the server. This community was great, I recognize some people in the comment section, very neat.
This vid finally got around to me and I just wanted to say you did an incredible job! It's nice to be able to sit down and see the history of a game that I had loved and invested so much time in fully laid out for the community to see. It's sad to see its steep downfall just after a ray of hope and I wish there was more that could've been done to keep this game afloat. After seeing this vid, I almost wanna go back and fulfill my ultimate goal of 100k ranks like I said I would a year ago. Not much else I can say other than keep up the good work on these videos!
I'm glad you mentioned DA. It was what introduced me to cw-style games as a whole and still remains my favourite roblox game. I remember joining a server in that game and seeing pearl and he was like "whats up you just missed nacker" i was like "what" he said "yeah he just left, he joined, yelled at me that this game was a ripoff and that he was going to sue, but he was level 100 so he must've played already" it was pretty funny.
It’s been a year since I’ve made CW gameplay content. I’m happy that people still care about the game. Hopefully I can make more content in a fan-game version of CW.
I first made my account in 2016 and first discovered craftwars in 2017, probably a few months before the lux update was added but I never had discord and stuff at the time so while I was there when the game was popular I didn't really get to interact with the community at all. Ngl craftwars holds a very special place for me, I randomly visit it like every year or 2 for intense nostalgia. I'm sure people like nacker who are probably like 20 now are tired of always being reminded of a game they made years ago so I guess it's time the game rest.
I remember playing this game endlessly back in 2016-2017 with my older brother, even with a simple map the game has a lot to discover (items) and probably the dungeon/temple bossfights you can get through from your house, i remember the only weapon i used was that red giant hammer from a code.
I remember playing this game around like 2016/2017 when I was a kid just for fun and absolutely sucking at it but the fact there’s so much lore behind it is super interesting and a little nostalgic
Surprisingly accurate, honestly. Some timelines are a little wrong and there's like 1 or 2 mistakes in there (for example im sure that true scythe, the only true item at that time was only 200m instead of 1billion) Id also like to add that there were multiple tycoon housings alongside the one you showed before "early craftwars", one huge tower with multiple stories alongside generators and a heli pad at the top + a small tower with only one purchaseable extra story Not to mention there used to be 4 white pathways with a couple free models around. I do think the thanksgiving event shouldve also been mentioned and the old tutorial system. The dramas between people and also DA are unneccessary though, doesnt really relate to anything about cws history but fair enough. But yeah CW was the most fun ive ever had and it certainly helped me get through 2015 and afterwards, I still return to 1 and 2 sometimes and it still is refreshing, I wonder what nacker is up to nowadays....
man just seeing the past and seeing the current year or day of the game is mind blowing. but i do remember some old things i remember doing around the community and seeing the old discord before i even made a full appearance from a certent event i caused in cw2 in some time i forgot. but all i know is i had good memories of the game but most... best to be forgotten because of other "events". i think i even seen the whole cw and da thing go one but no idea if i remember that but i do know for a fact that i MIGHT have caused the world to turn all blocky so... woops but the cw1 v2 project thought i do remember that but i have not even done a thing to that till it was now forgotten... but all i really know is this is a good video
I lved this. Although i join craftwars late 2018, i still play most of craftwars game. I also love documents so this made the expirence better. thank you for the memories.
12:22 I have played it before and it has lots of different things from cw anyways, now there is a game called "balanced craftwars" and it's pretty good, 200+ people play it currently
Craftwars is such a golden relic of roblox's past and it's really amazing how far we've gone. Also check out Balanced Craftwars Reworked, it's stupidly fun and might be better than the og Craftwars too. The updates are pretty smooth but they're pretty fun
woooa, i did not expect for one of my old weird cringe videos to be put on another video. But anyway, idrc about that, awesome video mate, pretty accurate
Craftwar was my first ever Grinding Game back when i still playing ROBLOX on my Mobile. I have a really fun experience with it, back then i team up with stranger to defeat boss and get loot, i never get to my first raid due to real life problem But if One Thing Craftwar Taught me. Grinding really time consuming and that applies to other non ROBLOX game as well.
I think the essential growth period was between mid 2016 from late 2017. That's were i took notice, then somewhere around 2019 the game was declining rapidly and it wasn't even averaging 20 players anymore. If you check now its barely 10 players.
although i haven't played craftwars much, mostly due to the 3 lives in dungeon system: soloing them on tablet was one level of a pain, i have to say: watching this was a breeze, and, despite CW being gone, there's something we should remember: the fanmade games. stuff like bad craftwars, although having insane numbers is actually fun + it has an element of grinding + analyzing various materials, there are games with more balance like crimson craftwars and it's also a huge deal. one suggestion: could you do a review on some of the popular CW fanmades? would be interesting to see your opinion on something like bad craftwars or some meme variants like maybe meme craftwars.
This is from mewishm8x, and there was one thing I disagreed about with the video that I've gotten to comment and mention/verify the information with for the video creator here: --My admin privilege's was not related at all to my ability to summon rex. My ability to summon rex has always been because of a bet I made with nacker to reach a certain rank in under a week, and I had won the bet and gained the priviledge to spawn rex. My admin priviledges were revoked because I had kept giving free items (I was immature back then) and was discovered by Ninjabjackson when I had given a Omega Death Bow out to a girl named Kxshx. I had completed the 250 rex event a long long long time ago at some point, just never publicly announced it.
One of my favorite games. I would grind it everyday for a few hours, until I the game prevented me from crafting the true fire crown after crashing 4 times and taking all of my resources.
Im currently making a game called Craftwars: Reborn and I had absolutely no clue that there was a game before mine that was called the exact same thing lol, it's cool honestly. And to the rest of the experiences i had, from the mewishm8x raid, to the tatsu drama, it was a good time. Some missed out info is, what i would think, is the real reason mewishm8x had his mod powers stripped. I had a lot more interaction with him than i would've actually thought i did. During the rex raids, he also gave out random items, along with his girlfriend also beign a cw fan at the time. Due to this, he gave her practically any item she wanted. this would later cause drama in the discord (from what i remember), and eventually him being removed as a moderator Edit: as odd as it is, (you would need context) i dont want my game to suffer the same fate the previous one did
bruhh i just rediscovered my childhood after so much research, what happend to the old crafts war? I remembered mr greed or that eyeball. The old version was like the best.
Another part no knows when craftwars stopped updating 2017-2018 almost 19 I would say I payed for retro craft wars updates and I even have a tribute in the game Lexi made for me I miss the games feels like such a long time ago
i like how they had to point out that some fangames had active communities i play bad craftwars and my god is it okactually maybe ok yes everything is over or underpowered its cool tho
Honestly CRAFTWARS is one of the greatest roblox creation to ever exist for me It inspired creativity Push ourselves to become better, the grind, the time everything
for some information about exotic craftwars vanta was burnt out from what i've heard and something was happening to the exotic craftwars server and vanta decided to delete the game and the server
yea it was a fun ride. hope things go back to how they were it’d be fun to play with them again. always loved playing both cw and cw2. difficult to focus on those now that everything is getting crazier due to everyone getting older and possibly not having the time to focus on playing enough to keep the community active. seen many friends leave the community and even i slowed in activity in the discord. mad respect for everyone working on the games thanks for making games that i could enjoy.
damn is... damn id
I started the game in 2015, 7 years ago
I was 5 years old
I haven't been as addicted or had so much fun since that time when there was an active community

Sonic freek i loved your old craftwars videos
it was like my childhood videos lol

I used to play back in very late 2015, i dont remember how far i was but i think i played until 2017 or 2018, but i forgot about the game for a few years until 2022 and i saw how dead it was. Almost made me cry

get 100k ranks no balls

I remember joining a server in that game and seeing pearl and he was like "whats up you just missed nacker"
i was like "what"
he said "yeah he just left, he joined, yelled at me that this game was a ripoff and that he was going to sue, but he was level 100 so he must've played already"
it was pretty funny.
why would nacker sue a ripoff game when he doesn’t give a shit about the original
@@the_real_skateboardyou do understand nacker was making a joke
Why do developers do this so much? I'm seeing a pattern...
It’s been a year since I’ve made CW gameplay content. I’m happy that people still care about the game. Hopefully I can make more content in a fan-game version of CW.
Hey try Crimson Craftwars
Try balanced craftwars if you haven’t already
"I'm a fan" :)
Peak game, Used to make modded minecraft maps based on it for 5-6 years straight, ending with a map based on balanced Craftwars, was so fun tho fr

Balanced craftwars keeping the linage alive
And now there's come balanced craftwars overhaul with such a pain grind without event :')
I remember playing this game around like 2016/2017 when I was a kid just for fun and absolutely sucking at it but the fact there’s so much lore behind it is super interesting and a little nostalgic

Nacker Will Be Our Rembrance and Its Games Runeworld And Craftwars.
Craftwars was my first game where i met my first friend, then it got hacked and i could never dm him again life is unfair.
as of apr 11 2024 og craftwars got updated 2 days ago and in the group i saw someone talking about cw3
this needs to be shared because everyone should know why craftwar games were dead and what happened .
Well they ain’t dead no more, balanced craftwars has 1000 concurrent
This is a very nice and well orchestrated video 10/10 good work my man.
We were making memories along the way ❤
2 years ago and this channel still only has 1k… Underrated
Really Good video you did a incredible job, i hope craftwars do a revival ;)
holy shoot this was a great video explaining it you have just gained a subscriber
People who are watching this play balanced craftwars overhaul, I’m it was mentioned in vid but it’s basically craftwars remastered
god i still love this game till to this day.
11:06 no one gonna talk about this?
Lmao
One word to describe this? Nostalgia.
this game made up some of my late childhood. Sad to see it over
This give me nostalgia
I love how you included jet stream san's theme
was around ever since warcraft time, god damn i miss those times
Im still grinding at balanced craftwars overhaul
This really was a superb video! This was my go to game back in 2017 and 2018 and watching this video was quite sentimental for me.

same as this biome in terraria in calamity cool too

Shoutout to the dude that predicted covid and also can you do a video on Classic Retro Craftwars?
This man is underrated
bruhh i just rediscovered my childhood after so much research, what happend to the old crafts war? I remembered mr greed or that eyeball. The old version was like the best.
BRO I MET SYNKTH BEFORE HE IS SO CHILL BRO
Huh, I remember craftwars 2 being up then getting closed, never knew it came back
Nacker and me are working on a new game… It’s likely to come out in March of 2022
bro when i heard the sound of cthulhu bubble attack i literally had like a few minutes of nostalgia.
Even tho craftwars does not got a lot of players i still love and play this game
this masterpiece started when i created my account... atleast i still play balanced craftwars
You deserve more views man
Man what a journey
The unfinished symphony of Nacker
I played that 3 years ago lots of fun
a bit late, but i've seen nacker pop up on Phantom Forces a bit. no clue what he's out doing now but best of luck to him
Loved my boy edos
There’s a game called balanced craftwars overhaul and it’s like an updated version of craftwars and it has 200 players
Happily, a new craftwars, balanced craftwars, has revived the community with 1k players on average
i kinda miss when this was on the front page
i played craft wars since the release it was fun until the updates stoped i hope they make another one
I did not expect myself to be in here(i was just in the backround)
This makes me feel so much nostalgia for younger days. Browsing on my brothers account still thought it was worth it to say though. Loved this game.
this hits hard
3:56 isn’t that lux’s spawn chance?
Rex’s is more closer to about 1 out of 10,000 if I’m not wrong
when rex was first released it was somewhere a 1/1,000,000 chance but at some point they changed it to 1/100,000
Another part no knows when craftwars stopped updating 2017-2018 almost 19 I would say I payed for retro craft wars updates and I even have a tribute in the game Lexi made for me I miss the games feels like such a long time ago
Damn, can't believe that craftwars is growing bit by bit.
Except now its pretty much dead 😅
pretty nostalgic
i like how they had to point out that some fangames had active communities
i play bad craftwars and my god is it okactually maybe ok
yes everything is over or underpowered
its cool tho
really wish devs started taking inspiration from games like this rather than spitting out another simulator game every month
frfr
Balenced Craftwars Overhaul (or BCWO) is now the new Craftwars. If you liked Craftwars before, this game is gonna blow your mind.
Honestly CRAFTWARS is one of the greatest roblox creation to ever exist for me
It inspired creativity
Push ourselves to become better, the grind, the time everything
thank you!
Chapter nine:Classic retro craftwars makes a revival with bad craftwars and balanced craftwars and now it isn't dead
for some information about exotic craftwars vanta was burnt out from what i've heard and something was happening to the exotic craftwars server and vanta decided to delete the game and the server
I agree
I genuinely wonder who remembers craftwars before craftwars was called craftwars
I remember that time when I bought admin cmds in og craft war💀
