I'll beleive it when I see it.  Until then its all vaporware and empty promises.   Ive been down this road before with this game and have been disappointed every single time.

Not to mention that many in the community of TR are happy with the lack of content, lack of group/raid encounters and are basically a bunch of carebears that dont want to see anyone in better gear than themselves. 

I'm not sure how they are managing all this great new content with most of the Dev team gone, no funds and players having left the game in droves.  But hey keep up the fantasy, err I mean, science fiction.  I'll beleive it when it materializes.

Wait and see is the only way to go with TR after this first year. We all know what happened to other content that was labeled "coming soon". If it gets added and is really great it may bring back many people who left and add people who never gave it a try, but the track record speaks for itself.

No matter what they do this game is will never grow beyond a niche game. It's going to have real issues with sub number when people pick the more polished StarGate Worlds as their Sci Fi MMO IMHO.  The first creation of Tabula Rasa before they scrapped it would of had more success I think.

The game is shutting down in Feb 09.  It's been announced.  So yeah, its not going to grow anytime soon.

RIP TR

Too bad. I was really hoping the return to Earth would (someday) come true. Looks like the Bane win afterall.

for the world to know and realise stargate worlds is a POS TR clone. they are ripping off the game so hard they will even steal its failure.

stargate worlds....gtfo have you even played it? i have...extensively, it is worse than the TR  (CLOSED) beta ever was!

the formula cant work. i hate to break it to ya but any game that uses the same combat sys as TR is screwed.

i note dungeon runners in the sig above this post...which is probably the only game listed worth playing all the others are crashing and burning...are you like the grim reaper or something?

Ummm.... TR's combat system was the only good part of the entire game.  Of all of the MMOs I've played, of which the acronyms under my username describe, I can honestly say TR had the best combat of any MMO I've ever played.  None of the other ones even came close.  In fact, most put me into a coma.

And when you talk with actual TR players they'll all agree to the T that TR had excellent combat.  It was the lack of any and all other types of excellence which drove them from the game.

So no, combat is the one and only thing TR absolutely nailed.  In fact, I can only hope more games copy it's fast paced and environment based mechanics.

Hey, yo! Over here!

I played TR. I don't agree.

Honestly, I wasn't impressed with the combat. It was the exact same bag as Auto Assault. It was meant to appear like a real action game were moving around and dodging had an effect, but in reality you pointed your gun at what you wanted to shoot, pushed a button and then the computer took care of the rest, often paying no attention to factors such as if the target moved behind a wall before your projectile actually reached them.

Like many factors in the game it was meant to LOOK a lot more interesting than it actually was. And at first it was interesting until you had been playing awhile and started to understand what was really going on. Its the same deal as the way the bane spawned in the game. They teleported in out of nowhere or appeared in dropships (which couldn't be shot down) and it looked cool. But at the end of the day they were still spawning in pre-determined locations, just like very other MMO.

Tabula Rasa did a good job of dressing up the classic MMO concept in the appearance of an action game, but it was still the same thing as every other MMO at the end of the day only with less of everyhting.

Well, they will get a little server pop when D15 comes out, with everyont trying tio grind 50 and go to earth before the game dies, I guess.  Maybe the same thing will happen that did with Hellgate:London, where the Koreans bought the game.

Oh, wait, they LIKE Hellgate in Korea.

The one or two new people that just subscribed without knowing they paid for a dead game.
