So anyone out in game-buying land who decided to do as Adam suggested "suggestion is to not buy on day one. Try the demos, read the reviews, educate yourself on our games (before you buy)" would have been put off by the whiners in the forums.
I just want to point out that your GarageGames.com Torque license is non-transferrable. Just so you don't get yourself into any trouble. I would take you up on your offer but I am committed to something else atm.MojoBlue said:I'm willing to offer any amount of server space, cpu time, my GarageGames.com Torque license, whatever it takes to salvage what's left of our community. I will even jump in and help coordinate the effort if anybody is willing. I'm a very experienced programmer myself so I'll offer any guidance I can. But before this can start, we have to let the bye-gones be bye-gones and move on.
If anybody is interested in any way, shape or form, email me: tribes@mojavi.org. You can reach me on irc.dynamix.com as MojoBlue in #dominant and #disgust.

DGUnreal said:Whatever...
These forums are no doubt visited by a large number of the remaining Tribes fans. If every one of the members here told a couple of gamer friends that T:V sucked, and anyone coming to these forums to check out T:V prior to purchasing it (which I for one did do) read all of the trashing going on, then sales would have suffered. No one can argue that T2 had a lot of problems out of the gate (and still does), yet the community didn't crucify it like they did T:V, they stuck around and T2 got patched.
I guess because your posts say "vet" beside it, that means you are right about everything eh?
The IQ of most people posting in TW is considerably lower than that of any other forum I've been on.
I've never seen such a bunch of self-proclaiming know-it-all whiners in my entire life. Sheesh.

NeoRocket said:Which brings me back to ALL the "marketing" errors talked about with T:V... The reason it didn't do well was not MARKETING, it was cause it SUCKED as Tribes!
As for VUG is letting Tribes franchise die... To VUG I say... SEll it! Yes you heard me, YOU DON'T WANT IT! So sell it. If ya sold it for $10.00 that's $10.00 more than you're planning on making with it.
]To everyone else going back and forth about if this guy or that guy was on the team or marketed it or blah, blah, blahhhhh.[/QUOTE

Celios said:The problem is that they rushed T:V out the door in the first place. If they had incorporated and polished everything at the beginning, then they would have had a solid game with better sales...
