I'd suggest that we put together a petition or create a company to buy it or something.

*sob*

But I'm pretty sure it won't work.

So. Yeah. Anyway. This is why I'm going to be really pissed off for the next six months.

You won't be the only one in a bad mood.

Unless I can win the lottery and convince EA to sell it to me....

December 6th! Great! On the message board they said November 7th (today!) So we still have month, at least.

Probably the drain on resources is the strategic map, etc. If you take that out, and leave just the client-to-client lance-on-lance battles then you might not need to use a central (i.e. EA) server.
Not that they'd release the code, of course.

So, what exactly happened?

They lose out on funding?

From what I read at the site, this was only an experamental version. They put it onto the net so that people other regular Beta Testers could play it and give suggestions. My guess would be that there were a few problems that were brought up, eventually leading to its demise (I don't know for sure).

It's MPBT 3025, a beta which was released by Kesmai through EA in June as the successor to MPBT Solaris. It has jaw-dropping graphics and great balance--a wonderful change from certain *cough*MW4*cough* other BT games...
Goes offline Dec. 6th, though :(

You've still got a week left, and it's free, so you might as well join up...

I actually hear a rumour like it's coming back in February.

Let's hope so.

If not, or until it does come back somewhere, it was a pleasure to drop with and/or against you. I know I faced NathanKell a few times (sometimes successfully, others not so), would be a shame if I couldn't kick him again. ;)

I killed you once or twice...as always, a great pleasure. (killing Mariks, that is.)

Ah, so that was you. If I had know that, I would have taken a smaller mech. :)
