It's not really gone its just that NetDevil isn't really release a bunch of press releases and game related info. I'm sure more will be seen once game goes into beta. |

There estimating around the June timeframe so we'll see how close they are. I would think they would start BETA within the next 1-2 months. |

I have been watching JGE for sometime and sequels are always welcomed and people will pay for them gladly as long as the developers address weaknesses from the first game and improve the overall experience. You do have to remember that people still play Jumpgate 8+ yrs later. They must have done something right... they have discussed this in length in their forums that the graphic enhancements alone they would have had to do a total rewrite of the code. This could be an EVE killer especially if they lowball EVE subscription rate and pull all the people away. i would say only other threats to JGE would be STO when it comes out and Black Prophecy and Infinity. can't wait to try them all and talk about them on my website. |

Been watching this game for a while myself. The gfx and the scope of the game appeals to all space sim gamers but it's getting it out soon enough so people don't get fed up in waiting. With games like JGE, STO and BP coming people might just move on if they don't least go beta this year. But I have been watching this one as well for about two years and if the screenshots and the movies represent gameplay then I will be all over it when it does finally come out. |

I have been playing this and its not that bad. It still has some issues with certain screens not populated with data and english version not totally converted but it is still playable and pretty fun even in Beta |

There are some things that are similar. The combat is more faced paced like a freelancer or a earth and beyond. Trading and mining and questing generally somthing close to general space sims. EVE has some things like JGE but I wouldn't consider them close in scope. |

EVE and JGE have nothing in common really when it comes to combat. Yes right now EVE has the Space MMOG market since they are really the only one. But that will change and yes they will probably loose some members because of JGE. I played EVE for the 2wk trial about 3 months ago and I was bored to tears with the combat engine. JGE is more my speed and cannot wait for it. |

I here you on that Winntech... I have been playing MMO's for the past 9 yrs and i am just burnt out on playing them I think I have a very lower tolerance level for crappy games and no support. AoC really put me over the edge. I had great promise for the game and it didn't deliver all the way around. JGE has the luxury of being in a niche market and really only has EVE to tend to. Which are two different games really. Alot of the same concepts but different so I think they will coexist nicely and maybe the competition will be good for both sides in the end. If NetDevil can bring back the enjoyment I had when playing WC, Privateer, Freelancer, FreeSpace I will be VERY happy. |

It is definitely a twitch combat system. Which for action is quite fun to play. I really want to see Privateer and Elite functionality with this game to make me very happy. Highly customizeable ships, crafting, new discoveries, mining, squad owned bases/ships and maybe even mining facilities you can build. Game has a lot of promise and can't wait until I can get my hands on it. Hope to get in the beta but I haven't had too much luck on that for a while :) |

I think the hype will go out when there is more info provided and the beta starts. Darkfall isn't that vaporware :) |

It's best NetDevil takes their time. AoC was hyped beyond relief and now look at it. It was a pump and dump. The community has dropped off considerably I stopped playing because of the content and the ease of going through the levels. Yes you cannot please everyone but you still need balance. We shouldn't be able to level to max level in any game in 30-60days of play in my opinion. I hope JGE does it right and I will gladly part with a monthly fee to have months and years of enjoyment. |

I am trying to build some info on JGE on my forums as well so feel free to stop by :) Have a section for just about everything. Can't wait for this game and will be giving squads areas in the forums if they want it. Sol |
