This game one way or another is definitely one of the best online community/gameplay experiences I have had in online gaming for better or for worse. Plenty of PvP action, for me there will always be a satisfaction that comes from this game's PvP that I just wont ever be able to get from EVE.
However the population after the final syndicate robot release and the diminishing returns update mostly killed it for me personally, it would take a miracle similar to the Steam release and the devs caring any amount again for there to be anything remotely considered a decent pop and activity level again.
It seems that it may finally be in dead water but until the day the server is finally shutdown, I will just hold low hopes, enough not to be disappointed if nothing happens but enough to have even the smallest belief that theres still a small glimmer of hope for the game.
