>What is PangYa?PangYa is the world's first, and only golf MMO from back in the early 2000s w/ gacha elements. Ancient, but very high production values for its time that still hold up today. Lots of private servers still kicking around and an active community. >Why play this over Minna no Golf/Everybody's Golf (Hotshots)Completely free to play on servers that avoid pay2win tactics such as RebornTrick shots that are actually unique and fun, like Cobra, Spike, and Tomahawk — not just flashy-looking power spins/curves alone.Much more creative and interesting courses.Way better musicWay cuter girls and cooler characters to play with.Lots of cool collabs from older anime.Not just golf, but pure sovl. >Where to playPangYa Rebornhttps://www.pangyareborn.com/Fairly new, 2 years old. Arguably the most complete & non-pay2win server. Active, and very generous. Everything you can get via donations you can get via the in-game gachas. Probably largest player base too. Stole a lot of players from older less generous servers. All of the JP server content. PangYa EUhttps://pangya.eu/Brand new very small server, but has custom artworks and stuffs. The admin clearly cares, but it's still a bit rough around the edges. Claims an engine overhaul, but it's more like an upscale + tweaks. Not a lot of players though. >List of other servershttps://pangya.community/t/list-of-pangya-servers/21Debug is another big English speaking server, but they push donations way too hard. Tons of other similar servers in different regions for different languages. However, all of them are similar to Debug in being too pay2win. >Rentry (Reborn centric)https://rentry.org/aeti2hmv

For a solo experience I recommend the Pangya PSP game. really solid with tons of content. Now excuse me while I nostalgia trip with some Kooh doujins.

I tried it just this week, a fun golfing game, and kooh is very cute
>>1878519>PangYa Reborn>active29 players is not what I'd call active.>PangYa EULocked behind discord.Look, I absolutely loved this game but your OP is VERY misleading. You could argue that at least Reborn could be used if a pair of friends want to re-experience the game for themselves but that's pretty much it.>Not just golf, but pure sovl.Any regular of the game when it was at its peak would tell you that the Sovl got lost when everyone started using the retarded live online calculator. That is also when I quit the game, when everyone was just busy taking their 45sec turn to input their coordinates and do the same Tomahawk into back-spin hole-in-one.The only way to fight this was making lobbies with the lowest turn timer, which nobody joined after a point.
>>1886749>29 playersDo you expect people to be online 100% of the time? Even I only login for a couple of hours a day at most, and some days only login to collect my daily tickets.I don't think this is misleading at all. There are currently 4800 accounts with many hundreds if not a thousand that actually login quite often and play. >Pangya EUI honestly only listed it to give people options.>Calc playersYa think? Find players who don't calc lol. Most people respect this. I have a group of friends I play with and I was looking for more players to join. Maybe even start a guild.>Not sovlBecause some avoidable people use calculators? >OP is VERY misleadingNo u
>>1886749Actually I should clarify and say depending on the number of players per game and number of games I play I might be actually online playing for 1-4 hours, but certainly not that long every day.Even during Pangya's heyday do you think that there were more than a few hundred logged in at any given time at most? Especially if you don't count people who were just online selling stuff in lobbies, which there are none of here.Let's do some simple math, because you're too much of a brainlet to do it yourself. According to what I graphed last week here >>1888806 There are 20-60 players online at any given time on the weekends. Even if there were only 20 people online at any given time throughout the week and they were logged in once a week for around 2 hours to play that would imply over 1,000 active players.Further evidence of Reborn being active, the admin recently banned around 150 brazilians for cheating most of which logged in and actually played at least once a week. It barely dented the average online count, because again not every player is logged in 24/7.Also, do you really think most people who bother to play this game these days are calcers? What's the fucking point? It's an avoidable minority now because the game isn't pay2win on Reborn. The only time you really have a problem with them are on tournaments, and verses games are far more fun. I never play tournament mode. Also, I was looking specifically for players who will play with me and my group of friends, none of which calc. Thanks for giving me something to talk about though, faggot.tl;dr probably around 500-1000 active players, just not online 24/7. Online is 20-60 avg, which is plenty. Calcers are avoidable if you don't play tournament mode and play verses mode which is much more fun anyway.
>>1888934>Especially if you don't count people who were just online selling stuff in lobbiesFunny that you'd mention that because I was thinking how I should have mentioned in my post how the introduction of lobbies completely killed the remaining userbase. I was talking about peak PangYa, so way, way before that.As for the rest of your post I'm not even going to bother addressing it. You people arguing that 60 peak online is active are just hopeless. But since you put out that number now I have no issues. My initial post was just a tldr warning to anyone coming to the thread.
>>1889285>Funny that you'd mention that because I was thinking how I should have mentioned in my post how the introduction of lobbies completely killed the remaining userbase. So we agree no one selling stuff in lobbies even hurts anything and are just inflated user counts. It would be especially pointless when you start with 5,000,000 pang and 95% of items are available in the normal shop and the other 5% available via the gachas which are free to play on Reborn.>As for the rest of your post I'm not even going to bother addressing it. kek>You people arguing that 60 peak online is active are just hopeless. How many people were actually *online* at one time in Pangya and before that Albatross 18 during it's "peak" before lobbies as you say? I don't even remember when they added them desu. I certainly can't remember more than a few hundred in the "global" or NA server or whatever, especially not in a single channel (which is all that matters) and I remember when the name switch happened. I even remember the shitass GPU I had with the horrible coil whine. You never actually answered this question, I will assume you agree with my original estimation. It's like arguing some ultra popular older FPS game now only has 1,000 plyers when before it had 30,000 means it no longer has an "active" player base.What do you even expect the number *online* to be now for a golf RPG that's literally over 20 fucking years old on a private server where the progression is cranked up and you can buy 95% of everything you could possibly want from the get-go. It's not like your typical MMO that eats unlimited amounts of your time.>But since you put out that number now I have no issues.Ok then.20-60 online is about what you would expect with 4800 registered users when at *least* 1000 of them actually still play a game or two sometimes. That's honestly an amazing number all things considered. I can't help that you have unreasonable expectations.
>>1889285>>1886749Actually disregard what I said here >>1888934 about tournaments. I suck cocks. It's no different than playing a vs game in a lobby. I just never play them so I got confused. Others might find them fun though, There's also "natural wind" mode, or you can set the timer super low. However, I just prefer to play with people who aren't total faggots.
Tournament when
>>1889927Going to bed, maybe tomorrow. Although without a ton of people not sure what the point of tourney play is. If 2-4 might as well just do vs games which is the same thing just more relaxed and slower paced.
>>1878519Any erp?
>>1890106Arrr, matey! Only if Kooh stuffs golf balls up yer dead man's port and drives 'em home with her cursed clubhead! Best brace yerself, ye scurvy dog—'cause once she's done, ye’ll be walkin’ the plank!But ye best be playin’ 18 holes first, or she’ll have ye keelhauled ‘fore ye even catch the breeze o’ the fun!
>>1888806>>1886749Hmm looks like higher peak this weekend. I only just started graphing it, so I wonder if new players or just people logging in for the event.
>>1892513Reborn right? I guess I'll give it a try this weekend instead.So far it's exactly what I was fearing. 38 online, 26 afk, 5 in lobbies and the 7 remaining doing solo tournaments apparently. I managed to get 1 people to join a simple versus in about 40min.On the flip side the game experience so far has been perfect. Everything works, you get enough pangya to buy what you want and I haven't seen any jank you'd usually see from a private server.
>>1895241I have a discord for this, and I will be making a guild/clan soon. Also if you ask on the discord for Reborn people will play with you.
