See, that's why I quit at "Tribes 2".. their marketing weenies hijacked
the game between T1 and T2, and it showed. The patching got really bad
and the bugs (old and newly-created) drove a lot of the dedicated
players away from T2 and back to playing T1. I wouldn't be surprised to
hear there's some T1 clans out there still.
Tribes was the only game that could get me to stop playing Unreal and
Quake 2 when it came out, there'll never be another like it.
