Considering that the original Enigma: Rising Tide, in all of its pre-release hype, company advertisements, box art, and even "imbedded" adverts which appear during installation, so adamantly claimed itself to be among the very grandest of MMOG's, I have to wonder whether there will be any (let alone, enough) trust left amongst the original Enigma community to take the claims of Enigma #2 seriously - even if it is a well designed, multiplayer game in and of itself - and make it the success #1 should have been. Many will argue the number of registered users on warfleet.net, but for all Tesseraction can really know - many of those gave up hope ~long~ ago.

250,000 units sold worldwide to the best of our information.

We showed Enigma lan multiplayer last March btw. It's not vaporware.

If they give up hope then they give up hope. We can only do what we can do. We aren't Ubisoft.

"Vaporware" ha ha... never heard that before... but in a sense, I suppose that's got to be another form of "freeware" he he

Personally... I hope they 'haven't' given up... I merely worry that some 'might'.

Many have given up or just put ERT on hold till the MMOG, Im sure that all those that has stashed away their ERT CD will be searching high and low for it when MMOG goes live, and those that sold their CD will be put to shame Very Happy

I can fully understand that people either stashed away the CD or sold it, cause it has been years since MMOP was supposed to be out, but most just dont know the reasons to the delay(s), usually they dont read previous posts, they just email or registers on forums to complain, that isnt something that encourages TAG to go on, If TAG was UBIsoft the MMOG would have been done years ago, but they arent. TAG is a very small studio, only counting a handful of employees, not 1000 hands like the big co's. On the other side YOU have never seen a development studio that is as dedicated to their player-base as TAG,, Kelly 'East" Asay' is the President of TAG, how many of those have you encountered on a public forum, giving full support, taking player suggestions into mind and actually uses them, and credits the player for the suggestion/bug fix/etc?

Most people cant see the difference between a small studio like TAG and big corps like UBI and Strategy First, Iif they cant they shouldnt get invovled in such "small" matters, Myself I have been waiting about 4 years for ERT-MMOG, I dont play the single player game anymore, simply cause I find it too easy, but TAG still has my full support, where as other just stashes their CD away, there is a handfull of us "dedicated" ones that continues to show our support even that we dont play.

Some people thinks that MMOG is allready ready, I dont know where they got that idea from, as far as I know you cant find it on print anywhere.

Some people reads "MMOG is on the way" the only problem with them is that they expect to see it "yesterday" and if its not ready the day after tomorrow then they leave with some stupid remark about TAG doesnt keep their promises, but I tell you that I have never seen East/TAG run from a promise, it might take awhile before they fulfill it, but there is reasons for that, they just have to hang in there, show their support. There is noting better for developers than to get appreciation emails, you can mail yours to support@warfleet.net, words of appreciation always makes the devs mood raise 112%.

If people would open their eyes they would notice that George Bush also promised to capture Osama Bin Laden, (this was also in 2001) Did he break his promise? No!..He just didnt fulfill it yet!

The day that TAG goes out of business then people can start blaiming them for broken promises, but not a day before.

In the end, keep up the faith for TAG, a small studio that tries their best to please everyone. Smile

If you need a game to play while waiting, then go try Jagged Alliance 2. (yeps its not a naval game, cant advertise for competing games here)! Wink

Well... if it is any consolation, East has one up on Bush in my books - in that, I expect, he actually intends to and will fulfill his promises... eventually. Fictional terrorist figure-heads, on the other hand, are rather hard to ring in (while I understand that Bin laden is a real person, I have always doubted whether he truly had the power... was as much, the terrorist 'mastermind' as the U.S. media and administration made him out to be. Even if he disappeared, I have to believe, the 'culture' of anti-Americanism so ramped in the world of today... the 'real' instigator of such terrorism as Bin laden's... would still be ramped).

LOL just as me, I also thinks OBL is a fictive person made by the US Gov to defend their actions Very Happy

CONSPIRACY... I knew it... !!!

Hehe... but on a serious note, won't multi-play appear in the coming chapters? I did not know that ERT (chapter 1) was even 'planned' to become multi-player.

ERT was originally made for MMOG only, Single Player (Ch.1) was to raise funds. Ch.2 will also be to raise funds, but it will include LAN MP (up to 12 players is the last I heard).

Hmm... so... which chapter is expected to have the first true MMOG capability? Also, will new chapters feature the same controllable units of the previous chapters, in 'addition' those made for each new chapter?

Jesper · Posted: Mon May 02, 2005 8:44 pm Post subject:

No chapters will have MMOG, the MMOG client will be a seperate release, ofcourse smaller for people that allready owns a retail or gold version or probably also chapter2/3/4 or how many there will be.
