What can I say? I'm gobsmacked!!! Although, I don't know why I am really, I forcast this would happen weeks/months ago and posted in stratics (much to everyone's dismay). Unlike a lot of you I actually DO blame the devs. They were given a job to do and a deadline to do it, which was extended as the original deadline I believe was March. All they did was mess a perfectly enjoyable game up! Ok, TSO was outdated, we know that, but all that needed to be done was to improve what they had already. Add more interaction, jobs, skills and skill objects/activities, the list was endless but they didn't have the sense to do it! Instead, they introduced ATM's a scam to extract cash, custom content that caused more problems than it was worth most of the time and what else??? errrmm can't think of much else they've done to be honest. I've already said this in stratics and I'll say it again, the BIGGEST mistake they made was the introduction of FREE players. Not just that, but allowing them to play the full game in TC3. I don't know the actual figures, but I'd hazard a guess that at least 50% of past subscribers went FREE and continued to play in TC3 (incidently, I didn't!!) Who still thinks the DEV'S ROCK? I never did they were rubbish, had no clue what to do or how to do it, for a start they never listened to the players and took on board what we wanted! Well, great lets all play POGO pool or dominoes eh? I don't think so. Lets hope some other company jump on the band wagon, see an opportunity and create a fantastic realistic virtual reality game like TSO was, they'll make a small fortune and hopefully employ people that actually know what they're doing and listen to what the players want!
