Yep lots of drama on all side that lots of people can't let go of and keep it going. Now can we move on from the little circle jerk . Oh and on-topic. I played the other day for the first time in over a month, really fun. Had a couple of my bros with me. Still fun flying around with a sword and pistol. Usually I only play in matches now.
I still play it often there are a number of players still playing and a few groups(red thirst being the most active) that still hold events and such, in fact the other day i played a full cap the flag game on the chaos maps. I have not run in to any nasty players so maybe they all left at last(or i simply have not ran into them) it was a big problem when the game still had a lot of players though.
Ive heard reports that since a mass exodus has happened things have chilled out a little bit. I still have the game... so who knows... maybe one day boredom will over take me again.
I actually didn't like the vengeance launcher much. Honestly the only time it was useful was if you wanted to kill grimmskull really fast.
Eternal Crusade is supposed to have a lot of customization. Some things though they're going to put in a cash shop. They said they aren't going to make any buyable items better than items you can get in game without paying, it's just for if you want to throw some money around for an awesome helmet or something.
You should get your crimson arse into publics more often! The wolves are usually on in force which makes for some great matches, the xDAx are dotted about here and there and the Legion of the damned make an appearance every once in a while. My chapter mates are usually on around midday to late night for you so im sure we'd bump into eachother.
