No JT , that wasn't it .

Okay, go on - inform us.

I can't speak for Bill, but I can say why I personally quit the game long ago. The game just never lived up to its promises: PAUs were originally designed to include more vehicles than just mechs, the CoCPs were supposed to be more robust, and there was no incentive to play after level 30 since you'd have all the skills by then, forget endgame content. Not to mention every class is "shooter" class - you want to heal someone? Shoot them with healing discs.

The game also had no official forum - every other NCsoft title has one, including Dungeon Runners and Exteel - and I would guess that was because they (rightfully) assumed that the majority of posts would be about how terrible the game was since the "unofficial" official forum had to create a specific board just for that. The final straw for me was when my fear that there'd be no new content was confirmed when they released patch notes that advertised little more than new loading screens.

I should add that being a longtime NCsoft customer and having also been an Auto Assault subscriber, I was so sure that lightning wouldn't strike twice when I started Tabula Rasa since operating costs are minuscule compared to how much it costs to develop an MMO. If you look at their latest financial reports, you'll notice they now exclude subscriber numbers. The reason for that is because Aion is already cannibalizing Lineage subscriptions, and the upcoming Champions and DC Universe will eat away at City of Heroes'. If not for Guild Wars, I would not be surprised if the company shut its Western operations within the next five years.
