Well if i remember well : it wasn't popular enough (like dm) so they decided to cancel this modeI guess it has something to do with the fact that someday we'll get bandits
If it could be played in Vanila it would be a great mod, but unfortunately it is very different from Vanila and, imho, not for the better. But somebody like it, I guessThere was talk about it possibly coming back, but that was around Alpha 16 or so. With the forum migration, it is hard to refresh my memory sometimes.
There is a mod that brings it back, gnamod horde mod. It brings back the arcade version of 7D2D. It's been updated for Alpha 19
I have never played it so I can't give any good feedback on it myself.
