Begin Rant
came back to see if 2.0 had morphed into an awesome game. 8/10. could be better, but what's here is worth playing and even throwing money at--cyprus is making an honest effort to dev this into an awsum thing, but not aggressively enough IMHO.
even when other MMO games were near-deth, you could occasionally find a packed server. i'd think clans could do this, but not one i've applied to in the clans search page have responded. "join our clan!" Apply. 3-day silence. pffft. (sound of new player Moving On)
last night i played from 1900 EDT to nearly 0200. i estimate i played about 27 unique pilots, with 3 or less on most teams.
btw: removing the online player count notification last year was a Bad Idea: "We don't want you to know we're dying." i've posted in forums where "Is XXX Dying?" got you Warning points, or a Temp-Bar. well, are you?
End Rant.
sorry. I've had this cooking since January--at least i didn't bail out midway in my first match like i did 5 years ago (see what i did there).
-O.
