Proteus - Alpha Centauri 2 - Leaving FL

Posts regarding other games are easily construed as forbidden advertising, so I can only be vague. Suffice it to say that rumors are flying, above and beyond, about a popular producer's MMORPG profits and, as the rumors fly, they're considering pulling out of market somewhat. A title I have missed dearly since its beta test might end up as a casualty.

This in the face of ironically increasing development and content planned for the rest of the year, according to sites like Stratics. Is it a ploy to lure me back? Well, if so, it's worked. I ordered my copy via Amazon tonight and the weekend of the 28th will probably be my last in Sirius (at least *this* Sirius). I have barely begun getting to know one or two of you on Alpha Centauri, and will gladly purchase a 30-day (fully functional) "buddy" pass for you to hang out in the other space for a while if you're interested. Let me know. FL will still be here. (I hope!)

I just saw you playing last nite for the first time. Hope you keep playing FL.

Thanks for the encouragement, Perseus, but the aforementioned MMORPG has arrived! I would simply play both games were it not for the case that I generally only get a few hours each weekend to play games. However, I'm going to at least stick around on Alpha2 this weekend and the next.

I'll be giving away free 30-day buddy-codes that unlock the MMOG's free, downloadable (5-day) demo version every couple weeks or so; I have my reasons.

Freelancers will have to get with me in private to discuss that.
