Realtime Worlds restructuring to provide "total support" for APB

Too little too late.

RTW actually contacted my clan (on that's been around since early beta) to sum up our major issues with the game.

Most of them were pointed out during the beta, ages ago.

Until they find some other way to fund their game, some way that doesnt involve me to ahve to play for bloody Game Hours, I wont be touching this game.

I have a feeling they will be pulling a Global Agenda sooner than we think.

Just got an email from the APB PTW. Looks like they're making changes to the match making system.

I've just read on VG247 that RTW has actually cut some jobs. What to believe?

i actually like the pay by the hour thing, its more flexible than most pricing plans mmos offer. now whether the game is worth paying any kind of sub fee for is another matter.

i think they probably put the ads in game from the start so if they have to drop the sub/hourly fee to get players then the ads will have already been in place and less headache than trying to play catchup.

very few games can get away with charging a full sub now. and i don't think this is one of them.

they arent pulling resources because of a successful launch...they are pulling them to try to fix this game before it totally sinks..this did not have a successful launch and anyone believing that excuse is kidding themselves...they KNOW that this game is going to die out shortly after launch.and now they are pulling more sources to try to add content and fix things as fast as possible because they have alot invested here.it would take years to add enough content to make this game worth buying let alone subbing..good luck though

I, for one, prefer the current (cheap!) subscription to having an item mall or whatever other crap they would come up to get money.

That being said, I'm having a lot of fun with the game, more than i had in "real" MMO's for years. Sooner or later it'll start to get boring and they will have to add some new content to keep the players, but i'm giving them a month or two untill they reach that point. (better have the content ready by then RTW!)

Real mmos are a snoozefest compared to APB. RTW would be stupid not to expand on this jewel. Too late to get cold feet now!

Seems like they skipped the first month or two that most MMOs start with where there's technical glitches, people can't log in, etc.

So all they need to do now is come up with more content. I'd like to see improved game play (head shots and better vehicle control).

But if you compare the APB launch with its mediocre reviews to the launch of most other recent MMOs, yes, it was successful.

I don't know why there is so much hate for this game. For peat sake people if it isn't your cup of tea, just avoid it and keep your mouth shut! I'm continuing to have a blast in the game and I'm finding it a great value for the money they ask. Currently, there is no other game that does what APB does...Global Agenda is similar but is totally different. I'm finding a lot of people who bash the game do not even state WHY it is "bad" or not to their taste. The only issue that I am aware of is that the game isn't well optimized and requires some tweaking from both RTW and the player, depending on his or her machine.

There are many pro's to this game:
- Instant action
- Non-traditional leveling process
- Highly skill-based compared to other MMO's
- Unbeatable customization
- Lots of weapons and items to keep things interesting
- A social/buy/customize area that is F2P
- High Graphics

For a game that has only been out for such a short amount of time, it can only get better.
