Even after switching to red I cant seem to get stoked about playing EQ anymore, so I'd probably give Eve a try if there was enough interest to do a p99 thing. Probably going to give the new Tribes patch a go until I find something else, but hit me up if you get something put together. Always wanted to try Eve, but jumping into a 12 year old game by myself isnt particularly appealing.

Whatwhatwhatwhat? Tribes is still around? It's what I cut my online gaming teeth on, back when we were HPBs playing on a 33.6 modem. Gonna have to do some research now.

Ya, there was a new tribes released a few years ago. A lot of T1 and T2 players complained about the physics, but it was actually a lot of fun. The company (Hi-Rez) abandoned the game more than a year ago to support Smite, but recently decided to release another patch with new maps and a revamp of the load out system. It is currently only on test servers though.

The game is kind of dead, but last time I played there were still a few active public servers and still an active community for more organized pick up games. The competitive scene pretty much died when they quit updating the game, but when the new patch gets released I'm sure they'll be some draft tournaments and more pick up games for a while.

The game is free to play too, so definitely check it out. They tried to make money selling voice packs and skins only, which is probably why it was a bit of a financial boondoggle.
