This is so late a post no one will read it but - I'm bored so ...
Pretty much everyone posting here on both sides of the argument is right.
SOE has provided terrible support for this game.
The DuhEV's have ruined it.
The Pure FPS guys hated the end to Surge - the rest of us loved it.
PS was an attempt to make an FPS/RPG which is bound to make both groups unsatisfied.
It's Graphics are not those of a D&D game - which some of us like.
It is showing it's age.
It is an MMO game that has a truly great scale to it. I think the count now, is 400-500 players in and Arena (Continent/Planet). With 10 Arena's per each of the three servers.
I've quit about 4 times now but haven't really found another game I'm all that interested in. I've looked at WWII Online but it's about 3 years old and showing it's age.
They finally eliminated the Standard BFR's but the Gunner and Flight models are still there.
I'm not all that optimistic about the games long term survival but it has picked up some new people recently. I credit that to Christmas presents and the Guerilla Ad campaign that started this thread.
It's funny to hear the FPS guys complaining about the DuhEV's catering to the RPG people (which there really aren't any of ...). Most of the changes I've seen (except finally giving up on Surge with Weapons) have been aimed at the FPS people. There has never been and (despite promises a year ago to the contrary) will never be anything for support people.
We'll see how this works out but it's in a really bad situation now. SOE hasn't put any money into it since Core Combat failed.
