chapter 9: balanced craftwars overhaul

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 didn’t really know the backstory of craftwars, but now I do! Good job on the video!

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*

You did very well I never saw an video about craftwars this detailed

This is a very nice and well orchestrated video 10/10 good work my man.

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!

Very well made video :^)

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!

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.

11:08 HOW DID HE PREDICT IT

holy shoot this was a great video explaining it you have just gained a subscriber

Really Good video you did a incredible job, i hope craftwars do a revival ;)

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.

Balanced craftwars keeping the linage alive

Nacker Will Be Our Rembrance and Its Games Runeworld And Craftwars.

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

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....

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'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.

2 years ago and this channel still only has 1k… Underrated

True The Game May Be Dead, But I have been playing from the beginning of craftwars birth and I will not stop until im fully satisfied.

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

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!

It was a very very fun ride with you cw1 we will miss you

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 remember coming home from school everyday and incessantly grinding retro. I started playing early 2017, probably the most fun ive had on roblox lol

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.

And now there's come balanced craftwars overhaul with such a pain grind without event :')

You deserve more views man

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.

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 love how you included jet stream san's theme

yes bring the golden days back. i remember i played in 2016 and i forgot about everything, until my brother played the game, memories

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

11:06 no one gonna talk about this?

We were making memories along the way ❤

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.

Loved my boy edos

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.

this game made up some of my late childhood. Sad to see it over

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

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

as of apr 11 2024 og craftwars got updated 2 days ago and in the group i saw someone talking about cw3

One word to describe this? Nostalgia.

Shoutout to the dude that predicted covid and also can you do a video on Classic Retro Craftwars?

this needs to be shared because everyone should know why craftwar games were dead and what happened .

thank you!

the music on the start is beutiful same as this biome in terraria in calamity cool too

This give me nostalgia

this hits hard

was around ever since warcraft time, god damn i miss those times

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

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.

god i still love this game till to this day.

This man is underrated

People who are watching this play balanced craftwars overhaul, I’m it was mentioned in vid but it’s basically craftwars remastered

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

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.

bro when i heard the sound of cthulhu bubble attack i literally had like a few minutes of nostalgia.

Great video! now these days people are playing "bad craftwars" its pretty fun

bro exotic craftwars was so good i miss it so much

hey jackstalisman here u deserve this subscription

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.

Man what a journey

I played that 3 years ago lots of fun

Its just sad that i joined cw too late.

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

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.

Huh, I remember craftwars 2 being up then getting closed, never knew it came back

i played craft wars since the release it was fun until the updates stoped i hope they make another one

Hey JB Bros, loved your vid! Can you tell me what music you’ve used if that’s ok with you?

i loved this game so muchccc

Craftwars is truly one of the greatest games to ever exist. It was and always will be a masterpiece. Thank you Craftwars. Thank you

Even tho craftwars does not got a lot of players i still love and play this game

Im still grinding at balanced craftwars overhaul

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 masterpiece started when i created my account... atleast i still play balanced craftwars

i kinda miss when this was on the front page

pretty nostalgic

good that craftwars is still alive thanks to balanced crafwars

Nacker and me are working on a new game… It’s likely to come out in March of 2022

There’s a game called balanced craftwars overhaul and it’s like an updated version of craftwars and it has 200 players

craftwars balanced getting reworked, damnnn

Im sad I joined the community late, after the "golden age." I joined about half a year after the game commmunity was officially ended, and a little before exotic ended. Even though I missed out on the main part of the community, I feel like it has changed and turned into something new with all the different unique and well made games coming out recently.

The only game I have fun. I made friends from it. Thank you Craftwars community.

Happily, a new craftwars, balanced craftwars, has revived the community with 1k players on average

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.

Damn, can't believe that craftwars is growing bit by bit.

The unfinished symphony of Nacker

21:30 was at that but i don't see myself in that screenshot not sure why

It was a quite a ride i found so many friends because of this and i will never forget this.

10/10 👏👏

i wish i experience this the only craftwar game i played is balanced craftwars overhaul im sad im not there to experience this

It just a legend ;-;

I remember that time when I bought admin cmds in og craft war💀

Chapter nine:Classic retro craftwars makes a revival with bad craftwars and balanced craftwars and now it isn't dead

welp we still have like meme craftwars bad craftwars and crismon craftwars still making us awake for more storys (totally not meme craftwars admin)

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

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
