I was a beta tester i had gotten many 50s in beta bought the game when it came out and stopped after maybe 25(?) Cause i was burnt off the beta and lack of content..

 

 

My question is is it worth a try again? what kind of new content is there to appeal to 45+s?

 

What is the future of the game?

Yes, now please welcome Vlad Vlad.

I played the game near release and quit after a month thinking I would come back to it in the future. Well, I have been watching the develepment closely and it still steals that they have yet to add any real content, but I Think that is about to change.

 

See they got this new lead dev named Tom Potter and he seems like a pretty cool guy. He has been there for a couple months now and seems to be finally rolling out some real content. The future may now be looking up for TR.

 

He wants to be adding more player customziation, world bosses for players to kill, PUIs, and some  Player owned CP points for PVP.

 

There is a lot more stuff he is working on but that is all I can remember off the top of my head. It all sounds cool to me besides the PVP. I just do not like the idea of PVP in this game that revolves around the human race nearly going extinct. Maybe if the PVP was like a Monster Play type thing where you can choose to be a Bane type character and fight humans..but it isn't going to be that way. But meh, its a minor problem.

 

Soon we may see an awesome new TR, and I will deffinitly play then!

MMOs require more reasoning and imagination than most stereotypically ''adult'' activities.

That's been the story of TR since release.  TR has been live 9 months now? Still waiting for "soon" to become reality.   There is a 3 day trial for TR www.mmorpg.com/freetrials/tabularasa_trial.cfm.  Be sure to try that before you buy it.

E&B, SWG, EVE, AO, TR, EU, GW, PS, RV, CoX

Nope, eight months past launch and they still haven't added anything to this game.  Stay away.  It's pretty much dead at this point.

Yes, I know we have been saying the whole "soon and the game will be worth it" but now I think it may actually be true. But hey, who knows!

 

Tom Potter seems to be an uprigtht fellow and seems to have an actual idea as to where to take TR. the old lead dev seemed to be a bit clueless as to where take this game. Maybe they wont take it anywhere. I was just trying to be a little bit optimistic

Try it and see what you think, its rly hard for other ppl to tell you what you like and dont. No harm in trying, and its free so go ahead and try and make your own picture of what you think aboute it.

If you don't mind spending $14.95 to see how the game has "changed" - then I'd say go for it.

I re-subbed a few days ago after leaving in Dec. I'm enjoying myself much more this go around. Some of the annoyences are still there, but I like the lore, and how the game gets rid of the stupid stuff in most mmos, desperately defending CP's is a blast, and the KA-PLOW! of a shotgun blast that sends mobs sprawling is something that can't be matched by sword-swinging mmos.

Quoted for truthery.  This is the most immediate fun I've had with any MMO ever.  You could basically teleport somewhere, and start having a blast.   Immediate fun in a persistent world - quite an accomplishment

 

Now if only they made grouping a little more fun... or added pretty much anything new... or fixed the abilities... or did anything...

Nostalgia is bad.

I agree it's a lot of fun. I think the problem TR has had is the false expectations of what is was going to be by players. It is different from any other MMO. Long-term I'm not so sure, but I usually tire of a game before reaching end game anyway. I don't know how players log into WoW 6 hours a day for five years.
