Ncsoft is hurting for money right now so if you think the next MMO they put out will last more than one year lol good luck. Any one else I would say go for it. Not Ncsoft..  Just wait for 2+ months see how many servers they got going. If its 5 or less the game will not last.

To be fair and accurate NCSoft has seen a total increase in NET income.  The problem has been that since 2004 their bottom line has been flat.  Internal costs and other red line items have killed its profit margin. 

Some of the worst were:

Income (Loss) on Equity Investments

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets

Minority Interest in Earnings

Other Unusual Items

One Major problem people have with the way the TR announcment was handled was that even after they made the descision quietly to close down the game they continued to HYPE the game in every conceivable fashion.

Everywhere you look they are still trying to get people to buy the game.  Yes I know some would say they are just trying to recoup losses.  Thats B.S.  They can just write it off.  Take the game off the market if your going to close it down PLAIN and SIMPLE.

TR was nothing more than a "Concept Car"

Looked nice.   Had some cool features, but wasnt road worthy and not fun on long trips.

No I am not a TROLL I am just PO'ed that after promising to keep TR open just days after everyones accounts renewed they device to close the game.

As far as lineage and the other NCSoft games go.  Those are not new games.

Given NCSofts CURRENT track record dont be surprised if you play the game for a year or less before they close this game as well.

People who played TR are being given a free beta account for Aion.

Thats a poor substitute for peoples time invested in TR.

Aion Launch - when ever.

Predicted closure date: 1 yr 4 months from launch give NCSofts current track record.

Auto Assault 1+ year.

Tabula Rasa 1 1/4 years.

Your best bet for enjoying this game is that it never launch and just stays in beta for 4 years.

The vast majority of people posting "I dont know why people dont think this game is fun." havent played the game from start or even beta.

For those of us who have already been playing the game close to a year now feel the game is lacking.

The servers are certanly NOT full compaired to launch.  A lot of clans have folded shop and took their players to other games.

ONLY ABOUT 5% of the game has remaied the same since launch.

Content that was promised still hasent even seen the light of day on test.

Everything is being rebalanced around PVP content

Lastly if you expected the game to be popular devs then you should have had some sort of end game content ready.

The most polite thing I can say about TR right now is that its basically like a Concept Car.

Yeah it looks good.  Has some nice features, but it wasnt meant to be driven day in and day out.  Dont put it through the paces or your gonna notice problems and lots of them.

In the early days of Beta the AI system had a GREAT deal of potential.  Now all your left with is broken code and mechanics that get dumbed down every patch.  The same goes for players skills.  It pretty obvious some of the recent player and game mechanics were changed not for fairness and consistancy, but to make things less stressful on coders and the server.

So in the end what were left with is a hot looking car thats good for show until the shows over.

Bored to tears and cant wait.

Nothing like a good old fashioned Beta blood bath.  Will interesting to see how a MMO with "Actual" writers on staff handle PVE content.

Do yourself a favor and save yourself some stomach lining.

Wait until they take the game out of the beta test mentality.

Since beta ended only about 5% of the mechanics are the same.  Classes are being continually nerfed and changed due to a weak game engine and PVP whining in the guise of "rebalancing."

Right now the game is more suited to being a council game than a PC MMO.

Wait 6 months and see if they come to their senses and get back to their original vision for the game.

Well here is one more dim view of the state of this game.

I played 6 months worth of beta for this game.  I have also played it since lauch.  I have explored every aspect of this game and have leveled 5 toons to max level.  I have explored the skill set fully for 4 different classes.  Heres my opinion.

Since Launch the game has so that only about 10% of it remains unchanged from beta.  The game hasnt progressed only changed.

Player skills Changed.

Player gear and weapon behavior changed

NPC behavior Changed.

Game graphics Changed

PVE content constantly changing

PVP content constantly changing

Just about every class has been boosted 50% then nerfred 200%..  Game engine mechanics have become spotty.  In game mechanics are very spotty.  Bane AI has gone way up while AFS and player pet AI has gone way down.

Still no end game content in sight.  Social UI features need serious work. 

In all the game honestly should have reamined in beta for at least another year.

Cant wait.

Lets hope they break the typical MMORPG mold.
