So did anyone else beta test the game they had back in 2001, the one that got cancelled by EA/Microsoft?

So will it be like that game? because that was the MOST fun online game i seriously have ever encountered. Now this is from a guy who has beta tested every major mmo period ever, including Battletech 3025 in closed beta.

BTW I'm am soooo happy right now, I don't even know what to do with myself.

Heheh. Does being a GEnie player of the original Mechwarrior Online count?

I can remember the Kesmai version fondly, since it was a direct port of the MW1 code- jump jet bug included.

Yep, I was there on GEnie Wanderer. Paying $3 an hour to play. Around '94-'95

I remember even flying to Greensboro for "Skippy-Con" to see the new version being rolled out.

Uncle Skippy and a few of the guys where there.

I think TBC (The Blo ody Clans) are still around.

Good to have you guys join us.... Man I am soooo giddy right now.

Some of us have waited a long, long time to see a proper Battletech online game come to life once again. The herp-a-derp of MW4 just doesn't feel right. Hopefully this will.

House Kurita rise again, this time we won't lose

[lothar]

I have to agree, EGA was one of my all time favorite online games. Hope this can compare.

Played back in the MPBT: Solaris days on Gamestorm

I missed 3025 by a week: I was in the beta, installed the game, and my video card wasn't good enough; I had to save up for a new one, and by the time I had the money and ordered it, things were already winding down: the card arrived in the mail a week too late.

I got to play a couple times on my friend's PC.

[Wieland]

And this game will have what MPBT:3025 didnt really have, Close quarter combat.

Good times, good times.

Solaris & 3025 here. Hoping this game will have a similar territory capture style gameplay - still think that was one of the best ideas that never caught on!

[agenttbc]

Yeah, 2001 is for newcomers. MPBT on GEnie in 1991 is where it is at.

Next year on Tharkad.

[nafers]

I did, but I joined near the end. Fun stuff. It's nice to see games like World of Tanks picking up on the ideas from MPBT:3025 today.

[Astaroth]

2001? Has it been that long? Sheesh.

House Davion, callsign Deacon. I'll be damned (can I say that here?) if I can remember the name of the clan I was in. Good times, though. Good times.

[chewie]

Heh it has been a long time indeed.

<S>

Chewie here, once known as Chewie_HH of the Headhunters of Davion during MPBT3025.

hope the game starts around then, tech wise, Had enough of clanners over the last decade to last me a century
