There's no doubt CrimeCraft has been seeing some tough times since its launch. Nevertheless, that's not stopping Vogster Entertainment from paving new development paths. They're currently working on CrimeCraft: Kingpin, which is essentially a way to interface with the game through Facebook or the iPhone application.
While details aren't clear at this point, Vogster is saying players will be able to complete missions, build gangs, buy weapons and equipment and develop rivalries in battles all while climbing up leaderboards. The top player will of course earn the rank of -- you guessed it -- Kingpin.
Integration into the PC game offers CrimeCraft: Kingpin an opportunity to stand out amongst the ever-growing crowd of Facebook and iPhone apps. Leveraging that advantage will go a long way to getting people interested in the newly free-to-play model of the game.

They should port the entire game onto the iphone and facebook... I didn't see any complexity those environments couldn't handle during the beta.
As a free-to-play phone app, it might actually be ahead of the curve, instead of competing with mid-90s shooters for technological dominance.

Can't save that sinking ship, especially not with APB on the horizon. Feel sorry for them but that's the way it is.

Facebook is a free to play mad house right now. If ever there was a platform to put a game on it, these developers chose the right one at the right time.

It almost seems like CrimeCraft planned this stuff all along. Maybe they just wanted to "try" and see if they could work P2P lol

Don't forget CC is not really Free to Play technically, it just offers a Free Trial with an unlimited time period that doesn't expire. Also no one can really test that theory yet because the free trial has not started so we can really only go by what Vogster has said thus far, and who knows... that may be subject to change. So far they have NOT said it is free - that much we do know.
