TabbyClan fired up..

I really hope this turns out well.
I really miss my dune buggy high jumps XD.

But if the MMO doesnt do well and they feel like it's going nowhere i hope they make it a single player game and sell it.
It's what i wish all the mmo's that closed did.

We're all starting from scratch. They're still working out the kinks for micro-transactions. Some DLC content might be cut, but the season pass is free with the base game.

Free as in there is a free track and a paid one?
Cause i find it hard to believe they will make it completely free.

I really hope it will work out, i miss this game so much.

[FUS]

Can't wait, any word what's gonna happen with the Steam store pages?

One of the most fantastic news ever!!! Praying will work out, cleaning my quasar set, etc...

The initial release will feature North America-based servers. If demand and financial considerations align, we may expand to additional regions.

Dam, so why only make a US server... Make an EU server instead. T_T
