That's no MMO. I loved the MW series and was looking forward to this game but it is no MMO. Looks like it's going to be trully a P2W title too. |

Ekman also promises that while players will be able to buy items with real money, nobody can buy anything that will confer a tactical advantage. “Anything that would affect or give you a tactical advantage, you can’t purchase with real cash. You have to earn that by playing the game,” he says. |

Hells yea... I can't wait to put that ERPPC on my 20ton scout. You's guys gunna be heat shotted! P2W! Wahoo! I dislike how people always equate F2P with P2W. They are not equal. Course, they sometimes rub up against each other but other times companies know they'll make more by sticking to their scruples. |

I wondered what happened to this, glad to see it's finally going to see the light of day. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

Perpettuum was never, at any point, going for a MechWarrior kind of thing. There is only a superficial resemblance. Had they gone for a MechWarrior kind of thing, they would have a LOT more subs than they do. Join the League For Gamers. |

It is curious to see the FAQ: http://mwomercs.com/support#faq Then to see the reference they are proud to be partnering with IGP: http://infinitegamepublishing.com/ IGP...who? A WHOIS of the domain turns up: Seven Group Data Mgt Co Inc http://www.sevengroup.ca with the IGP site registered David Dreger. Okay, let's go back to that first site with a WHOIS. It's registered to Donald Bustin. http://www.piranha-games.com/ is registered to Jorge Desjardins. It is a 23 minute car trip between the offices of Seven Group and Piranha Games. The guy that has the mwomercs domain on the other hand - lives on the East Coast - New Brunswick, while the other two are on the West Coast over in Vancouver. The interesting thing about Jorge is that through him, you find out about Jarheadgames. So in the end, is it simply a case of local businesses supporting each other - or - is it all just a bunch of friends from college or the like operating several businesses to make it look like there is more there than there is...? I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again? Explorer: 87%, Killer: 67%, Achiever: 27%, Socializer: 20% |

It was Robotech (Macross). The actual lawsuit was YEARS and YEARS old. This was FASA. They haven't been owned by them in years. And I'm fairly sure (if I brush up on it) that the legality of SPECIFIC mechs in question were removed from circulation. From what I understand, someone came up with the ideas and sold them both to FASA and Harmony Gold, the Robotech people. Some of the drawings were BLATANTLY false (for example, their treads read Robotech on the feet). FASA was sent a cease and desist in the 80's. That they never took seriously. Harmony Gold wasn't really using the Macross/Robotech stuff during the time. Sometime early 91-92, they came out and laid the smack down. I believe there was a belief that they tried to sell the license to Playmate who then made "exosquad". FASA sued and lost but Playmate was in bed with Harmony Gold and FASA woke the dragon. Long story short, the ONLY reason that a game would be pulled is if it contains one of the previously pulled models. Any new models were fair game based on the settlement. Now, if you REALLY want to laugh, you need to realize that the mecha rights in Japan are currently being sued to determine ownership (i.e. Harmony Gold does not REALLY own the rights, thus the settlement is null and void...).
For those really interested: This is a link to a list of the Unseen or the Mechs lost due to the lawsuit: |

Originally posted by Ichmen That was fasa corp.. and it's not really an issue anymore since they stopped using the "copied" mechs (it was like 10)... battletech (daddy to mw) has what a thousand different mech designs or so now?
It's been like 20 yrs since that issue ? |

The concepts stolen were i believe the defensive bipedals that road on the macross battleship, they only saw air time on defensive scenes and it wasnt for very long so i assume they thought they could get away with it lol. I'd rather have a robotech universe type mmo, however i love mechwarrior hope it turns out good. |

Originally posted by Aori The Veritechs were the main focus of Robotech - whether you were talking the first Macross - Southern Cross - or Invid.

Originally posted by Quesa While the P2W part is questionable - company says one thing, does another - will have to see... ...the MMO aspect is curious as well. Since in reading, it comes off more as a game lobby game with a ladder than a MMO. I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?

Originally posted by lizardbones Agree 100%. I also thought that Dust514 would have been the perfect oportunity to introduce mechs for ground assaults vs. an FPS. The base mechanics are already coded with slots and heat. |
