Last time I played (4 months ago) there were around 6-7 offical rooms with usually 90+ players in each

Today... only 3 official rooms and not one person in any of them

Why? This game is far from bad that no one would be playing... I don't get it

I really like this Mortal Kombat game. I hated the ps2 ones, but this one really redeemed itself. It's sad to see it going downhill.

But, if things don't pick up online buy King of Fighters 13. It's a really good game.

Maybe it crashed because of a sudden surge of new players who picked up the Komplete Edition. I would expect a spike in interest because of the KE, not a decline, and certainly not death.

maybe people with the komplete edition cant play with the regular edition...their netcode is so crappy that it just might be possible.

I'm assuming they're compatible. But if not, then everyone will be on the KE..

Bump.... anyone know what the deal is with MK9 online these days?

+ On a side note, are the original editions and Komplete Editions compatible?

The online was always kind of dead. Nothing but Scorpion/Sub-Zero/Raiden/Kung Lao users. I ended up selling my copy because nobody would play any different characters.

Yes, I tried but through the automatic Ranked Match setting rather than joining a room (which are still hopelessly under-populated) But even with the R/M method, it still took a while to find an opponent It's disappointing because this game is actually really fun to play with a human opponent What I think ruined the online experience was the Online Pass... if you bought the game recently (like now) and it was used, you're not going to get online I'm sure lots of people have already traded it in and the people buying those copies aren't going to pay the fee (rightfully so)... but we all suffer in the end
