You guys never get the love you should have so here is a send some love comment.

Thank you for an exhilarating free game where there is no monthly fee and I can blow up other people's mechs with many different options of weapons.

It is always hard to keep a free game in service, server costs, staff costs, and many other associated costs.. So I Teron Gorefiend appreciate all the hard work you guys do whether it be spicing up factions or releasing of new maps or anything you do to make the game more interesting. Thank you Sirs! (and mams)

at first glance for a new player the game looks great. but a new player hasnt had to deal with all the same bs for years.

Ignore the incoming dullards that will surely flame this thread.
I've been gaming since the early eighties, hell I remember when Pong was the lick.
Yep I'm a Grandpa Gamer.
And I can honestly say this game is in the top five I've ever played.
Nuff said.

I understand that. I am unaware of the timeline. I just feel for a free to play game, how can you be too demanding? I understand balance issues and feature tweeks but the more you drain the creators the faster this game will implode.

I think for the value, it's a great game.

PGI got much love and the game was highly anticipated by many...then the business/game development reality happened.

whats free? the over priced mechs that dont change gameplay or the hours upon hours you spend to level 1 mech?

Tread lightly there, unless you were programming back in the days of tape drive, orange screens and 8kbps modems.

They are not forcing you to buy their mechs, and if you want to skip the grind on some
Mechs you can buy the packs. Understand there has to be incentive for them to stay in business.

How about producing a good product? That tends to work.

You are playing Random carnage, so you obviously enjoy the game.
What shouldn't be free is the hours and hours of coding. If you took any programming or language course, you would
Understand the complexity. This isn't creating Bullet board systems
and ANSI games using batch files for your executable.

And as for programming ... You havn't been there unless you were using ticker tape and data cards! Paper storage ..just don't smoke or weeks of hard work could easily go up in flames!
