Well multiplayer wise, looks like this could be a hit?

Knew you had been on Ars as soon as I saw the snow mobiles are for sissies. Didn't actually read the article though.

"The constant reward and unlocks means that this game gets its claws into you very quickly... if you're married or have kids you need to start building up some goodwill points now for the long nights of gaming in your future. "

Sounds promising.

"You have to rent servers, no server client to run on your own"

Sounds bad.

Is it as bad as no dedicated servers at all? This is obviously a meet in the middle attempt but it means they can monopolise prices.

I don't read Ars too much because it's a bit beyond (alot beyond) my technical range lol. But they have some good reviews on there sometimes.

I read it mostly for their game reviews they do a lot biochemistry and nano technology which I have no interest in.

Client servers are great as they generally allow for the modding community to improve the game.
