Another year has passed and this clan is still alive. We started the year with another TAM cup which was over quickly but we had brink to look forward to. It arrived in may and we had more than 8 people active. A few wanted to join nM during that time, but the game got quickly ruined by the rules the ESL forced on the community ( disabling level 5 skills ). The game overall seemed to be less movement-skill driven than the videos promised. Therefore we spend the rainy summer with less gaming than expected. Many members were already playing starcraft 2 and some still are, but the new starcraft seems to be less of a teamgame than the other strategy games before. Everybody is playing 1v1 and therefore the squad was never really born :p
Our ut99 squad is still really active and they have been seem a lot on teamspeak and irc. I only wish you could be seen more often in the boards
But now we have 2012 and what can we expect? Well for starters we already have multiple members playing the tribes ascend beta. Even diesel also known as eiter arose from the ashes of the ut2k4 assault time and is among the regular visitors on our teamspeak. He has played tribes 2 in BSG and therefore plans to help me build the squad playing tribes ascend. I am hocked up on the game and therefore you can expect my full force on this game. The good thing about the beta is, that I have been playing the game a lot and it definitely has a lot of potential. Even in the beta stage it is far more than brink could ever be. Besides the shooting and intelligent usage of items and skills you have to be able to move, predict the opponents movement and work together as a team to win the game. Multiple classes promise a place in the game for everyones taste.
I still own a root server which has been hoping the whole last year to have more to do than ut99. Therefore we will get our own private server if that is possible. If I have to rent one, I will do that as well.
Let this be a wonderful 2012 with a lot of gaming, nimbleMeetings ( What about spain this year? ) and a lot more activity
Happy new year!
