No good mech/robot mmos for PC?

[JayDee]

Update on perpetuum:

So seems the DL shut down but can be restarted and starts where it left off.

Initial thoughts are models and atmosphere is pretty pixely even at 1200p, but very cool designs and the customization is off the chain.

AI is pretty funny, but much like EQlive in that mobs seem to follow you long distances without resetting.

Community is very friendly. Puts p99 to shame believe it or not. People are very helpful and friendly but once you reach contested areas I have heard its every man (or team/corp) for themselves, as resources are very sought after in these areas. Game is very PvP centric (right up my alley).

Leveling is not in the traditional sense. You earn EP (some kind of attribute booster) for every minute of your mechs existence. You form your mech accordingly, choosing to favor certain attributes over others. I have been told there is a whole plethora of robots you can choose from, some favoring speed, range, close ranged, Parabola shooting (very important for LoS); but boosting one seems to sacrifice some of the other advantages.

Very interesting but very big learning curve. Will update yall a bit later when I sink my teeth in.

P.S. people who play this game are absolutely in love with it. Haven't seen this much enthusiasm since EQlive.
